If the game follows its typical six-week update schedule, then Genshin Impact 2.2 will arrive on 12 October 2021.

This gives players plenty of time to explore the rest of Inazuma and complete all of their current quests before the update launches.

There have been several leaks concerning the banners of Genshin Impact 2.2, and while the exact order is still uncertain, it seems that the update will focus on rerunning popular characters. Hu Tao seems a likely choice, with Childe also expected to make an appearance.

However, there is still uncertainty as the orders are subject to change during the beta. Fans will just need to wait until the update gets closer for a confirmation on the banner characters.


New 4-star character Thoma

It appears that Thoma, a new 4-star character from Inazuma, will be making his debut in Genshin Impact 2.2. Thoma is a powerful Pyro Polearm character who possesses an incredible Elemental Burst.

He is a powerful support character who can provide great shields and inflict Pyro damage on enemies, even when he is off the field. Genshin Impact fans will definitely want to summon Thoma when he appears on the second banner of the 2.2 update.
