Xiao and Shenhe will arrive in the first phase of the 2.4 update, and as usual, the character event wish banners will be accompanied by a brand-new 'Epitome Invocation' banner.
Genshin Impact version 2.4 will be released worldwide on January 5, 2022. Naturally, the update will be preceded by a 5-6 hour maintenance break.
Accordingly, players can expect Calamity Queller and the Primordial Jade-Winged Spear banner to be available on January 5, 2022.

In the second phase of the 2.4 update, players will witness the return of Ganyu and Zhongli. The value of the dual re-run banners will significantly increase with the Epitome Invocation (weapon) banner that will feature Amos' Bow and Vortex Vanquisher.
Based on the 21-day fixed banner cycle of Genshin Impact, it is safe to assume that Amos' Bow and Vortex Vanquisher will be available on January 26, 2022.
The following four-star weapons will have a boosted drop rate in the banner:

Players were already delighted with the Genshin Impact 2.4 Special Program as it contained a ton of exciting announcements. The character and weapon banners are even better, because all the featured five-star weapons are brilliant and free-to-play (F2P) players won't regret wishing for them as well.
As of now, the Genshin Impact community can wish for Itto, Gorou, and the Redhorn Stonethresher to create powerful Geo teams. The rise of the Geo element seems inevitable at this point, considering that the next update will bring Yun Jin and Zhongli.
