HoYoverse officially announced Alhaitham and Yaoyao as two new Dendro units in the game. They will showcase the new units, describing their gameplay style and respective roles in the party.

HoYoverse will also officially announce all the character banners for both phases. As per the leaks, Xiao will feature alongside Alhaitham and Yaoyao in the first phase banners of the 3.4 patch, and this is based on the assumption that the former returns to every Lantern Rite festival. Fans will also get a sneak peek of Alhaitham's limited five-star signature sword, the Light of Foliar Incision.

If the leaks are to be trusted, in the second phase, Hu Tao is set to return after a one-year hiatus along with Yelan's first rerun since her release.

Finally, Genshin Impact will also give out three redeem codes during the livestream worth 300 Primogems, Mora, Hero's Wit, and Enchantment Ore. Since the codes expire really fast, it is recommended that all players redeem them as soon as possible on the official website or in-game option.
