A leaked cutscene from Genshin Impact shows the story of a deity. Additionally, two new characters are seen. Furthermore, rumors are strong that Ayato will become a playable character. Itto also keeps appearing in gameplay and leaks. MeinMMO summarizes what we know so far.
New playable characters are usually the most interesting for Genshin Impact players. It’s not uncommon for people to save for months for a specific character once a trustworthy leak surfaces. The character named Ayato has been announced multiple times by the game itself, and fans are wondering when he will be in the game.
Who is Ayato? Ayato is the brother of Ayaka Kamisato. He is the head of the Kamisato clan and does not like to show his face in public. Moreover, he is constantly involved in bureaucratic matters. Ayaka should rather be the face of the Kamisato clan, according to Ayato.
Warning: Leaks can always differ from the official game or turn out to be false. If anything changes or is confirmed, we will report on it.
What do the alleged leaks say about Ayato? Since a well-known Twitter leaker named Sukuna vanished with a bang on Twitter, he left the community with speculations. He posted a tweet listing 15 points and said: ‘Have fun guessing what’s true and what’s not.’
Thus comes the assumption or even the firm belief that Ayato will be a Hydro Claymore character. However, there have been no confirmations from other leak sources yet. Additionally, there is a character in Genshin who stands in the teahouse and praises Ayato for his spear skills (via Genshin Impact Wiki). This would contradict the theory of the Claymore as a weapon.
Yunjin and Yelan leaked in a cutscene
Who are Yunjin and Yelan? So far, almost nothing is known about the two. Yunjin is said to be a dancer, singer, and brewer who works in the Heyu Teahouse (via Genshin Impact Wiki). We do not know anything about Yelan yet. Both characters were only briefly shown in a cutscene (via reddit). The cutscene contains spoilers!
Yunjin:
do you think Yunjin is now anemo or is she still geo?? pic.twitter.com/BSlebe4V7p

Yelan:

Dimbreath assumes that the character in the trailer is Yelan, as he was previously able to find data from a previously unknown character (via Twitter). However, he is not completely sure about this. Yunjin was leaked a long time ago. So far, all characters from the leaks back then have been confirmed. This is about:
Lowkey why I think she’s Shenli from this pic

Shenli, Yaoyao, and Yunjin are officially still missing. Kazuha, Hu Tao, Sayu, and Mimi (now Kokomi) have already been implemented into the game. When comparing the image from the cutscene and the leak, this strongly suggests Yunjin.
However, the community has noticed that Yunjin’s element no longer seems to be Geo, but rather Anemo. You can recognize this by the divine eye, which sits about at the height of her heart. In the previous leak, it was yellow, now more green/blue. Furthermore, this would confirm the eighth point on Sukuna’s list.
Arataki Itto – Leaks say he wields a Claymore
Who is Arataki Itto? Itto has been mentioned by name several times in the game, but he has no face yet. He is described as tall and strong, and is said to possess two large horns, as he is supposed to belong to the Oni. His divine eye was confiscated by Sara Kujou.
Even though he makes a terrifying impression, he is nice to children and a peaceful guy. Only with Sara is he always out for a fight. They are rivals. Additionally, he reportedly almost killed himself in a ramen eating contest with Yae. These noodle soups contained fried tofu beans, to which Oni are allergic.
What do the leaks say? Data regarding attacks and his supposed weapon has been published on Twitter and reddit (via Twitter). This data includes ‘Male’, ‘Claymore’, ‘Itto’, and ‘Ghost Attack’ in the name. If Sukuna’s second point is true, Itto could also be a Geo character.
What do you think about the rumors and leaks? Are you excited about the new characters or have you had enough for now? Feel free to write it in the comments.
