Genshin ImpactVersion 1.3 Update - What we already know
First, when miHoYorevealedthe update schedule forGenshin Impact, it stated Version 1.3 will include the Lantern Rite Festival in Liyue. As such, Version 1.3, soon after its launch in mid February, should introduce the Xiao gacha banner. Moreover, after the Version 1.3 Private Beta Test, two characters have leaked. We won’t specify names here as this is information under NDA, but most of you already know. Speaking of which, the leaker must have met anhorrible fate after being caught by the miHoYo ninjas.Plus, there is technically no guarantee miHoYo will reveal the same characters on stream as in the Version 1.3 Beta Test. While this is a slightly different situation, keep in mind Xiao andAyakawere characters present in the very first Closed Beta before release. And yet they still aren’t playable in the final game.
As a reminder, Xiao already appeared in the Liyue main story quest ofGenshin Impact. Voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Kirito inSword Art Online), Xiao is one of the most anticipatedGenshincharacters. It’s likely the Xiao gacha banner will be one of the most successful ones yet for miHoYo.
