Meanwhile, the Lantern Festival or Festival of Lights has been in the game's beta and many fans assume that it might arriver in February or March next year. There are speculations that the rumored Xiao banner might drop just before the event goes live. Xiao was anticipated to be a festival feature, so it is likely that he might be featured in "Genshin Impact" ahead of the game's major event.
Apart from the Xiao, fans heard earlier that Albedo, Ganyu and other characters are arriving in the game very soon. Aside from their existence in the "Genshin Impact" beta, these characters have been leaked for some time now. There are no official release dates for these characters yet.
