She is said to drop materials for new 5-star characters like Kamisato Ayato and Yae. Raiden proved to be a tough challenge for players during her story fights, and she may be bringing this strength to weekly encounters. Fans can find out more about the potential upcoming boss in this article.


Genshin Impact 2.5: Raiden Shogun weekly boss leaks

Genshin Impact fans can look forward to a new weekly boss in update 2.5 according to this leak from reputable source UBatcha. This leak isn't confirmed yet, but sources seem to indicate that a powerful returning foe will be challenging players during this update. This weekly boss may come as a surprise to players, as it seemed like the Inazuman storyline had already come to a close. However, apparently it seems that the powerful Shogun has another fight left in her.

Genshin Impact players can look forward to squaring off against the Raiden Shogun once more, as she wields her Electro might on the battlefield. As a weekly boss, Raiden will drop unique materials that allow certain characters to ascend their Talents, and it appears that she will drop items for both Ayato and Yae. Ayato and Yae are both Inazuman characters that have been rumored to be arriving during update 2.5, giving this leak some more evidence.


Possible Raiden rerun

These leaks have also pointed to Raiden Shogun getting a rerun during Genshin Impact 2.5, which may be the reason she is appearing as a weekly boss. Raiden's reappearance in the story would have to be big for her to duel with the Traveler once more, and having her feature as a rerun would incentivize players to pick her up. Fans who missed out on the powerful Shogun the first time will definitely want to give her a try when she releases again.

Genshin Impact 2.5 looks to be packed with new Inazuma content, and players will want to keep a close eye on leaks.
