1) v3.3 (December 27, 2022)

With just a few days remaining until the second phase of 3.3 arrives, players have a brief period to stock up on enough Primogems. After the phase begins, Raiden Shogun and Kamisato Ayato will be featured in two separate banners alongside their weapons, Engulfing Lightning and Haran Geppaku Futsu.

2) v3.4 (January 18, 2023)

HoYoverse is all set to kick off the new year with a rather huge update. Players can expect to get a new region, a flagship event, new characters, a couple of reruns, and a lot more. However, this article will list the characters that have been leaked by reputed sources.

In the first phase of v3.4, HoYoverse will start with two new characters in one banner, including Al Haitham and Yaoyao. The former has made numerous appearances in Sumeru's storyline and can be expected to be a five-star character. On the other hand, Yao Yao will be another Dendro character, who will be a four-star.

Due to the next update having the Lantern Rite event in its roadmap, the version will naturally get a lot of Liyue characters. Hence, Xiao is the second character alongside Al Haitham in the first phase of the update. In the second phase, the leaks suggest that Yelan will be getting a rerun for the first time since 2.7, alongside Hu Tao.

The latter is a welcoming sight for players who have been waiting for the Pyro Polearm character, as she hasn't been in a featured banner since November 2021. So, it has been roughly 400 days since HoYoverse finally decided to bring her back again with Liyue's festival.
