Genshin Impact 5.2: Exciting New Event Banners Revealed

Although Natlan was largely kept secret before its announcement, Genshin Impact players have since found it easy to get information about upcoming characters and Event Banners. Knowing when a featured character will appear or return is important for managing Primogem spending wisely.

While the Event Banners for Version 5.1 in Genshin Impact are almost confirmed, Version 5.2 remains speculative. Version 5.1 is expected to highlight Xilonen and continue Natlan's Archon Quest, with Chiori, Nahida, and Hu Tao also appearing on the Event Banners. For Version 5.2, Chasca and a new map expansion for Natlan are anticipated, but recent information suggests that another Anemo character may also be featured in the update.

Genshin Impact Wandere Leak — Recent information suggests that another Anemo character may also be featured in the update.

Specifically, FouL has suggested that Wanderer will be a banner character in Version 5.2, indicating that the patch may focus on Anemo characters in Genshin Impact. Since Faruzan often appears alongside Wanderer on banners, it is highly probable that she will also be featured in Version 5.2. As for the other two characters joining Wanderer and Chasca, several possibilities exist.

Genshin Impact 5.2 Banner Characters

Chasca: 5-Star Anemo Bow
Wanderer: 5-Star Anemo Catalyst
Ororon: 4-Star Electro Bow

Raiden appeared in Version 5.0, and Nahida is set to return in Version 5.1. Historically, an Archon character is almost always featured on the Event Banners through Version 5.5. Given that Furina was recently featured in Version 4.7 and Mavuika is confirmed for Version 5.3, it’s likely that Zhongli or Venti will appear in Version 5.2. If Version 5.5 is expected to be the long-awaited Mondstadt expansion, it would be reasonable to reserve Venti for that, making Zhongli the more suitable candidate for Version 5.2.

It has been some time since Ganyu and Shenhe appeared on the Event Banners, and there has been considerable demand for a Wriothesley rerun. While their appearance in Version 5.2 is not guaranteed, featuring them would be a straightforward way for HoYoverse to satisfy the community. Although the Cryo element has seen less prominence since Sumeru, Wriothesley was well-received when he debuted in Version 4.1, and recent characters like Emilie have further boosted his appeal as a hypercarry. Version 5.2 is anticipated to launch in late November 2024, and more details about its character banners will be revealed soon.
