Genshin Impact is a role-playing action game released in 2020 by Chinese developer miHoYo. 

One of Genshin Impact's key pulls is its distinctive character design, which has helped the game become a global hit with a player base that is constantly rising. Character leaks for Genshin Impact are becoming more prevalent these days, generally creating a lot of buzz for these future roster additions months before their official release.

MiHoYo has established an intriguing trend of formally releasing new characters on the day a beta begins, most likely because they would be leaked anyhow. The social media sites for Genshin Impact have announced Kamisato Ayato as the next Genshin Impact character who will appear in version 2.6. Each update has a beta period that starts at the beginning of the preceding version.

The latest Genshin Impact leak appears to give additional details about one of the future characters, the enigmatic Yelan, who uses a Hydro bow.

Yellen is a name that has emerged in many Genshin Impact leaks, which implies she might be in the upcoming updates. Multiple beta leaks for version 2.6 have revealed her in-game model. However, she is unlikely to be included in the playable roster for that release because no information about her skills has been published. Ubatcha1, a famous leaker, has disclosed further information, including a likely release in version 2.7 around mid-May. In terms of fighting abilities, she is believed to be a new Hydro bow user, making her the second character to employ this element-weapon combo. Yelan is expected to be a five-star character alongside a Genshin Impact double banner re-run.

Genshin Impact is currently available and can be played on mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, and a Nintendo Switch version is in the works.
