Genshin Impact leaks: 2.7 Promo art & rerun banners revealed

As per the latest leak by Ubatcha, a credible source in the Genshin Impact community has released an image that will be the official promotional art for the upcoming 2.7 patch. The new patch 2.7 has been named "Hidden Dreams in the Depths," as seen in the promotional art.

Additionally, the tweet also mentions that the 2.7 Special Program date and time are not out yet. Hence, players might have to wait for further news in the future about the 2.7 live stream.

The new 5-star Yelan will be introduced through an upcoming Chasm Archon Quest called the "Umbrabilis Orchis Chapter: Act I." Previous leaks have also confirmed that another storyline called "Perilous Trail" will be added in the upcoming patch 2.7. The characters that will have a leading role in the new Perilous Trail Chapter storyline are:

  • Xiao
  • Yelan
  • Arataki Itto
  • Kuki Shinobu
  • Yanfei

Latest leaks from reliable sources have indicated that patch 2.7 will have double rerun banners in Genshin Impact. The rerun banners that players will reportedly see are:

  • Xiao
  • Arataki Itto

During the first half of the patch, Yelan will share the feature banner with Xiao, having his second rerun early in the game. At the same time, Arataki Itto will have a solo rerun in the second half of the patch with Kuki Shinobu as one of the 4-star characters.

Currently, there is only speculation among the masses about the dates for the 2.7 Special Program. The most plausible date thought for the 2.7 Special Program to premiere is April 29, 2022.

The 2.7 patch is scheduled to launch right after the end of Kamisato Ayaka's solo rerun banner. The phase 1 banners also share the release date with the launch of 2.7. Hence players can experience the new 2.7 content and banners on May 11, 2022.

However, it is still too early to predict the dates for their release date due to the state of the pandemic in Shanghai, where the developers' main headquarters is situated. This implies that the upcoming patch update could be postponed to a later date until the situation has become stable for officials to release the latest patch.
