Genshin Impact 2.4 character and new area leaked so far

Genshin Impact is about to introduce two new characters in version 2.3, and based on leaks, players can expect the same from 2.4.

If leaks are true, Yunjin and Shenhe will both become playable characters in Genshin Impact 2.4. Yunjin has been leaked for ages now, and she's even mentioned on a few occasions in the game. Meanwhile, much less is known about Shenhe, though there are a few in-game references. On top of the new characters, Genshin Impact may unveil the Enkanomiya area in version 2.4.

Genshin Impact leakers indicate Shenhe, Yunjin, and the Enkanomiya area will arrive in Genshin Impact 2.4

Two Genshin Impact leakers, Tz and UBatcha, revealed earlier this year that Yunjin would become playable in version 2.4. They also mentioned a new area, which is now believed to be Enkanomiya. Since then, leaks have also pointed to Shenhe's release date in Genshin Impact 2.4.

Genshin Impact's Enkanomiya area

Enkanomiya is an underwater area in Watatsumi Island, near Sangonomiya Shrine. The area is currently inaccessible, though leaks now point to its opening in version 2.4 of Genshin Impact.

On Watatsumi, a large, deep pool rests near the center of the island. This pool is the entrance to Enkanomiya, still waiting to be unlocked.

Genshin Impact players have already learned a bit about Enkanomiya. The quest series, The Moon-Bathed Deep, followed the Traveler's adventure to unlock the underwater area. The Traveler gets the Key of the Moon-bathed Deep by the end of the quests, which may open Enkanomiya.

However, the Traveler learns in these quests that Kokomi hasn't yet authorized Enkanomiya's opening. Thus, Genshin Impact players have to wait for version 2.4 to learn more.

Shenhe and Yunjin to become playable in version 2.4

Apart from Enkanomiya's introduction, gamers can expect Genshin Impact 2.4 to release two new characters. Yunjin, who's been expected for over a year now, may debut as a 4-star character. Also, leakers predict Shenhe will be released as a 5-star Cryo polearm-user.

Based on the voicelines from profile pages, Genshin Impact players can expect Shenhe to be an intimidating character. She may have a short temper, though her appearance could suggest otherwise.

Meanwhile, Yunjin is known to be a talented opera singer who's rather famous in Liyue. Her performances bring a huge audience, and she has the support of one of Liyue's most esteemed figures, Ningguang.

Yunjin also likely appeared in a Moonlight Festival cutscene. The character's renders had already been leaked, and one of the background figures in the cutscene matched the design.

Yunjin was far from being the focus of this cutscene, but the short video may have hinted that Yunjin has an Anemo Vision. This is evident in the pale green emblem on the character's outfit.

Most leaks indicate that, like Shenhe, Yunjin will wield a polearm. Her elemental abilities are yet to be revealed, but leakers might find this information as version 2.4 draws nearer.

If Yunjin and Shenhe are released in version 2.4 as leakers suggest, players can expect to see them on Genshin Impact's event banners in early 2022.
