The beast-like resistance general Gorou is finally coming home. Here is when Gorou's release date is going to be.

Gorou Release Date: December 14, 2021

General Gorou will be arriving on Genshin Impact on the second half of Genshin Impact version 2.3, which falls on December 14, 2021. This banner will run until January 4, 2022. As for the specific release times:

PT: December 14, 3:00 PM
CT: December 14, 5:00 PM
ET: December 14, 6:00 PM

He will be part of the introductory banner for Arataki Itto, which makes the banner very Geo-heavy. This is the perfect opportunity for those who would get Albedo in the first half of the patch, as building a Geo party would be super easy during version 2.3.
