The Genshin Impact Version 2.7 Special Event Livestream just concluded and in case you missed it, here's what you should expect once the update ships.

Character and Weapon Wish Banners

Genshin Impact 2.7 Phase 1 – Yelan and Xiao

The Yelan banner Discerner of Enigma and the Xiao banner Invitation to Mundane Life, will run simultaneously in the first half of Genshin Impact 2.7. Many people have been waiting for Yelan due to the delays that caused Version 2.6 to be extended, and the Xiao rerun is timely considering the new Chasm domain that released an Artifact Set that is seemingly made for him.

The Weapon banner during this period will feature Yelan's and Xiao's signature weapons, the Aqua Simulacra and the Primordial Jade Winged Spear, respectively.

Genshin Impact 2.7 Phase 2 – Arataki Itto + Kuki Shinobu

The second half is monopolized by Arataki Itto's banner Oni's Royale. In this banner, Kuki Shinobu is one of the featured 4 stars. Thematically, this makes sense due to their involvement within the Arataki Gang.

Unfortunately, we did not receive any confirmation on what the Weapon banner will be during this period.

New Archon Interlude Chapter

This update will also bring an Archon Quest Interlude Chapter. In the preview image, it seems that the characters who will be involved in this Archon Quest are Yanfei, Kuki Shinobu, Yelan, Arataki Itto, and Xiao. During the stream, a cutscene was also shown where the Traveler once again has an encounter with the twin. The forlorn expression on Lumine's face in the cutscene was enough to induce goosebumps to those invested in the game's lore.
