Genshin Impact 5.4 character drip marketing and expected date

According to the leaks via Full Stop Chan, HoYoverse is expected to release a new character, Mizuki Ayano, in the Genshin Impact 5.4 update. It should also be noted that her name in the early leaks was Kimitsuki Ayano, but a leak from another reliable source, HomDGCat, suggests that her name was changed to Mizuki Ayano. Thus, Travelers must not confuse her for two different characters.

At any rate, based on her name, it is safe to say that Ayano is from Inazuma. Furthermore, it is speculated that she is a 5-star Anemo unit and could likely be added to the Standard Wish after her release, potentially making her the first 5-star character from Inazuma in the permanent banner.

Unfortunately, there's no info on Mizuki Ayano's weapon, so players will have to wait longer for more information.

Based on the previous character drip marketing, developers usually reveal a new playable character two days before the version update that precedes their release version. For example:

• Chasca and Ororon were announced two days before version 5.1, and they were released in version 5.2.
• Xilonen was announced two days before version 5.0 and was released in version 5.1.
• Mualani, Kinich, and Kachina were announced two days before version 4.8, and they were released in version 5.0.

Since version 5.3 will be released on January 1, 2025, the developers are likely to reveal Mizuki Ayano on December 30, 2024.

However, players must remember that Mavuika, Citlali, and Lan Yan's drip marketing was delayed for unknown reasons, and HoYoverse revealed them a few days after version 5.2 was released. Therefore, Ayano's drip marketing could also be delayed, but it is less likely.
