Genshin Impact 2.7 leaks: 5-star characters and weapon banner, plus phase 1 banner 4-stars revealed

A reliable insider who also leaked the character and weapon banners for patches 2.4 and 2.5 has done the same for the upcoming patch 2.7. The Phase 1 banner is going to be a double banner with Yelan and Xiao having their separate character event wish banners. This will be Xiao's second rerun, and the 4-star characters who will have a boosted drop-rate are:

Noelle
Barbara
Yanfei

Epitome Invocation (weapon banner) for Phase 1 will have the signature weapon of Yelan and Xiao. The 5-star weapons that will drop are:

Aqua Simulacra
Primordial Jade Spear

There is still no information for the 4-star weapons dropping on the weapon banners.

According to insider leaks, Phase 2 of patch 2.7 will have a solo rerun of Arataki Itto. Additionally, Genshin Impact officials have revealed that Kuki Shinobu will be introduced as one of the 4-star characters in the upcoming patch 2.7 banner.

This implies that both the leader and deputy leader of the Arataki Gang will share the banner with the rest of the 4-star characters, who are yet to be confirmed.

The upcoming Genshin Impact patch 2.7 is scheduled for release on May 11, 2022, along with Phase-1 Character Event banners and Epitome Invocation (weapon banner). Hence, Yelan and Xiao's rerun banner will share the date with the release of the patch on May 11, 2022.

Phase 1 double banners will be available for 20 days before the Phase 2 banners are released. This implies that the Phase 2 banner is speculated to drop on May 31, 2022.

Hence, players will currently have to wait for 13 days before they can summon any characters or weapons released in Phase 1 banners.
