Genshin Impact was one of the best games of 2020, be it for console, PC or mobile, and we received version 1.2 as an early Christmas gift to get Albedo and the Dragonspine area. Now the second part of the version is happening with the arrival of Ganyu, but some people are looking to the more distant future and therefore want to know the release date for update 1.3. Here you will find everything we know about the release date of the 1.3 update for Genshin Impact, and you will also find the new leaked character banners.
Before version 1.2 comes to an end and is released next month, players should be aware that there is a Lost Riches event with Iron Coins available until January 18. This event offers players the opportunity to have a Mini Seelie pet as a companion, so you won’t want to miss out if you want a pink, blue or gold circle following you.
Although the Mini Seelie pet will be available for a limited time, below you’ll find out everything we know about the release date for the Genshin Impact update 1.3, as well as new leaked character banners.
Genshin Impact update 1.3 new characters
One of the new characters and banners for Genshin Impact update 1.3 according to the leaks is Xiao.
In addition to Xiao, it is rumored that another of the new characters and banners for the 1.3 update to Genshin Impact is Hu Tao.
It is important to note that none of these banners have been confirmed by miHoYo.
What we know about update 1.3 is that it will come with an event called Rite of the Lantern. Not much more has been confirmed beyond a launch window, but the perspective of Xiao and Hu Tao has left fans excited.
Xiao was a playable character in the game’s closed beta, while Hu Tao left fans excited because of his leaked skills and the famous Japanese actress.
When will Genshin Impact update 1.3 be released?
There is no release date for Genshin Impact update 1.3 beyond February.
However, it is possible that the release date for Genshin Impact update 1.3 is 3 February.
That’s because version 1.1 came out on November 11th with version 1.2 on December 23rd, and the two days were Wednesdays.
In addition, miHoYo’s plans – for the first three patches, at least – are to update the game every six weeks and February 3rd is six weeks from December 23rd. However, it can be seven weeks like version 1.2, so the date can be February 10th.
Again, what was said above is by no means official, as the only confirmation we have of miHoYo is that the third version is planned for February.
