Genshin Impact has been an addictive sensation since its full launch last year, thanks to frequent updates and events. We are in the last days of update 1.2, which gave us Albedo and the wonderful Ganyu, and the good news is that update 1.3 is coming with a Xiao banner. Here you will find everything you need to know about the Xiao banner, including its 4-star characters and its release date.
Update 1.3 promises to be fantastic thanks to its exclusive games, activities, food and rewards with Lantern Rite, but there is also the possibility that Hu Tao will still leave shortly after the focus on Keqing.
The prospect of Hu Tao’s arrival left fans excited, but – to focus purely on what has been confirmed by miHoYo – below you will find the launch date of the Xiao banner at Genshin Impact, and you will also find his accompanying 4-star characters.
When does the Xiao banner come out on Impact Genshin?
The Xiao banner will appear at Genshin Impact on February 3.
The MiHoYo release date for when the Xiao banner will be launched on Genshin Impact will also mark the beginning of the 1.3 update.
Although versions 1.1 and 1.2 were fantastic in themselves, update 1.3 looks set to be the best version thanks to Lantern Rite.
Lantern Rite will include a bunch of exclusive games, activities, rewards and food, and there will also be a Stand By Me event that will provide a free Liyue character.
And, if the rumors are true, the next version should also mark the arrival of the highly anticipated Hu Tao.
Genshin Impact Xiao 4-star characters
One of the 4-star characters for the Xiao banner in Impact Genshin is Diona.
The other 4-star characters for the Xiao banner on Genshin Impact are Beidou and Xinyan.
Many people predicted Barbara thanks to her being a healer, but – although wrong – many fans correctly predicted the inclusion of Beidou.
Diona was another prediction for many fans, but that was more hopeful than anything logical, so the community will be in the clouds with his inclusion.
The Xiao banner will remain on Impact Genshin until 4:00 pm server time on February 17, and will also include the Polearm weapon.
