There's a couple rumors surrounding the new lineup for Genshin Impact.

Alright, buckle up, fellow travelers! Genshin Impact is spicing things up for Version 4.3, and guess what? We've got the scoop from the rumor mill!

So, forget what you thought you knew because the banners are doing a little dance. The grapevine spills the tea on not one but two surprise comebacks: Albedo and Itto are making a grand return sooner than we all expected.

It's like the "Geo" patch is throwing a party, introducing the fan-favorite Navia and bringing back the Geo crew in style. With Version 4.2 wrapping up Fontaine's Archon Quests, it's all about the good stuff in 4.3—new artifacts, some quality-of-life jazz, and, of course, more Story Quests to keep us on the edge of our seats. Who said patch updates can't be a rollercoaster of emotions?

Oh snap, here's where the plot thickens, my Genshin fam! So, the buzz in the air was all about HoYoverse pumping some fresh vibes into the Geo scene, right? I mean, Geo has been chillin' in the background since Sumeru brought in the Dendro drama. Navia swoops in, flaunting her Crystallize expertise, and players are already dreaming up epic combos with Albedo. And let's not forget, Itto's rerun was about to bring our dude Gorou, the 4-Star Geo Bow sensation, back to the spotlight. But, hold up—cue the record scratch—recent leaks might just be throwing a little disappointment into the mix.

Hold onto your visions, Genshin fam, 'cause Waffel just dropped some serious banner bombshells for Version 4.3! The lineup got a remix: in the first act, we've got the Geo queen Navia teaming up with the ice-cool Ayaka. Then, slide into the second half, and we're talking Raiden and the fiery archer Yoimiya bringing the heat. But, and there's always a but, brace yourselves because the road to Itto and Albedo's encore might be a tad longer than we hoped. Version 4.4 is teasing Cloud Retainer and a Liyue star-studded cast featuring Xiao, Shenhe, and the queen of cryo herself, Ganyu.

Well, folks, here's the silver lining in the Genshin cloud! So, the Albedo crew might be feeling a bit down, but hey, think of it like a Primogem savings plan! With Navia stepping into the limelight, players can stash away those gems for future banner shenanigans. And oh boy, hold onto your visions 'cause the weapon game in Version 4.3 is straight fire! Navia's swinging the Mistsplitter Reforged axe, crowned as the ultimate Sword weapon in Genshin town. On the flip side, Engulfing Lightning is getting cozy with Thundering Pulse, making this weapon patch a veritable treasure trove.

Version 4.3 is dropping a bomb with a new face in the lineup—say hello to Chevreuse, the Pyro Spear maestro! Get this, she's all about those Overload teams, and rumor has it she'll be making a grand entrance in the Raiden and Yoimiya banners during the second half of the version. For all you Ayaka enthusiasts, the Primogem saving game just got real! You've got around five weeks to stock up those gems, and guess what? The Misty Dungeon event is rolling into town, ready to help you hit that Primogem jackpot.
