Release and Characters
When is Genshin Impact 1.5 coming? Here, an estimate can only be made based on the intervals between previous updates. These intervals were previously 6 weeks. If this is the case for update 1.5, we can expect the release around April 28.
Which new characters will we see? According to rumors, we will get two new heroes that will be introduced with the update 1.5 in Genshin Impact. The leaks mention the following heroes:
This is what Eula can do: Eula belongs to a very old noble family and is the leader of the reconnaissance unit of the Knights of Favonius. You can see what she looks like on Twitter.
- Weapon: Greatsword
- Element: Cryo
- Rarity: 5 stars
- Constellation: Aspergine Maris
- Normal Attack: 5-Hit Combo
- Elemental Attack: Cryo damage with Grimheart buff
- Elemental Burst: Glacial Illumination with AoE Cryo damage, summons a sword that deals damage
This is what Yanfei can do: Yanfei is associated with the city of Liyue and is known there as a legal advisor. You can watch her animation on Twitter.
- Weapon: Catalyst
- Element: Pyro
- Rarity: 4 stars
- Constellation: Bestia Iustitia
- Normal Attack: Fireball with Pyro damage
- Elemental Attack: Pyro damage with 3 Scarlet Seals
- Elemental Burst: Done Deal, grants 3 Scarlet Seals and the Brilliance buff
These are leaks that have not been officially confirmed. Whether these two characters will really be included and whether their stats are correct is uncertain.
Furthermore, a hint was spread on Twitter indicating that there might be a revised banner for Zhongli.
These Characters are Expected After Update 1.5
In addition, a leaked video of the heroine Ayaka has surfaced (via gofile). However, this does not mean that she will come into play with update 1.5. A later release is more likely, for example with update 2.0 (via Dualshockers).
Speculation is already underway about a character named Bhaizu, see Twitter:
He is the owner of the Bubu Apothecary and has a white snake as a pet. He suffers from a mysterious illness that makes him appear weak (via Genshin Impact Fandom).
Housing
With update 1.5, the housing feature is expected to be implemented in Genshin Impact. Through housing, it is possible to get a home that you can furnish and decorate according to your wishes. According to the leaker Zeniet, your house is located in a teapot (via Twitter).
You will buy furniture and decor with a new currency or craft them from raw materials yourself (via Honeyhunterworld).
Additionally, a bird companion will be added that can teleport you to your house.
These other innovations are likely included as well:
- New Hangouts, where you can spend time with your loved ones
- An Electro Traveler
- A Geo-Dahaka boss
- Character quests for Zhongli and Eula
- 3 new live events
- New artifact domain
- 2 new artifact sets
