2) Leaked banners
Starting December 7, players can expect Wanderer, Arataki Itto, and Faruzan to appear in a separate banner as per leaks. The arrival of Arataki Itto hints at an Inazuma-based event, which has been leaked as "Akitsu Kiumodameshi." Unlike the previous few versions, the 3.3 update will return to having 21 days per phase.
Hence, after the first half ends, Raiden Shogun and Kamisato Ayato will appear on their respective banners starting December 28. So naturally, the signature weapons of all four 5-star characters will be present in a different banner in the individual phases.
One fun fact that players will be excited to know is that HoYoverse's Special Program announcement on CN substantiated the leaks by including Arataki Itto, Raiden Shogun, and Wanderer.
3) Genius Invokation TCG
Everyone should look forward to the announcement of the Genius Invokation TCG in the Special Program, as HoYoverse will be making it a permanent gameplay feature. Their additional statement confirmed that Primogems tied to the game mode would be based only on PvE, not PvP.
The game mode can be summarized as a traditional TCG (trading card game). Players can match up against NPC or other players with various character cards and powers.
