Genshin Impact 5.0 Release Date, Unexpected Raiden and Kazuha Rerun! Here;s the Details
--
Let's dive into the upcoming 5.0 banner updates for Genshin Impact, with information sourced from homdgcat and confirmed by dimbreath.
First Phase Banners Genshin Impact's Version 5.0
In the first phase of the 5.0 update, players can look forward to:
- Mualani's release banner
- Kazuha's rerun
Second Phase Banners Genshin Impact's Version 5.0
The second phase will feature:
- Kinich's release banner
- Raiden Shogun's rerun
Both Kinich and Mualani were already hinted at through drip marketing, so their appearances are not surprising. You can find their gameplay footage online if you're curious.
Unexpected Reruns Genshin Impact's Version 5.0
The rerun banners, however, have caught many off guard. Many players, including myself, expected Zhongli to return since he appeared in the 3.0 and 4.0 updates. However, it seems the developers decided to switch things up. Raiden Shogun is an excellent archon, so this will be welcome news for those who have been waiting for her.
For those wondering about Zhongli, it's likely he will return in patches following 5.0. Hoyoverse appears to be changing their usual patterns, but we can expect another archon rerun in the 5.1 update, possibly Nahida or even Furina.
Seeing Kazuha return in 5.0 is a surprise, while players are still waiting for Riyo or Shenhe. Shenhe’s absence is somewhat understandable, but Riyo should have had a rerun in Fontaine. When Riyo will get his rerun remains a mystery, but we can hope for 5.1.
