Obviously, she won't be released in patch 2.6 because the featured five-star character in it will be Ayato.Waffel@WaffelGIYelan will appear with Kirin Bow in the cutscene (not sure if in 2.6 or later) twitter.com/anonsbelle/sta…6:55 AM · Feb 16, 20223942337Yelan will appear with Kirin Bow in the cutscene (not sure if in 2.6 or later) twitter.com/anonsbelle/sta…However, Yelan will appear as an NPC in an upcoming quest, and here's everything players need to know about her release date.When will Yelan be released in Genshin Impact?Ayato will be the only new character in patch 2.6, implying that Yelan won't be released for at least two months.
