Ayato will arrive in Genshin Impact version 2.6 as a five-star Hydro Sword user. The character will be released after months of anticipation, and players cannot wait to unlock him.

Several credible leakers in the community have claimed that Ayato's banner will be available in the first phase of the 2.6 update. This is naturally great news for players who desperately need a Hydro DPS unit in their party.

Ayato in Genshin Impact: Expected release date and time

Genshin Impact version 2.5 arrived on February 16, 2022. Based on the game's fixed 21-day banner cycle and 42-day update cycle, it is safe to assume that version 2.6 will go live on March 30, 2022.

Also, if the Genshin leaks about Ayato being the first featured character in patch 2.6 are true, then his release date should be March 30, 2022, as well. Updates have traditionally been rolled out at 11:00 AM (UTC+8), and the next patch shouldn't be an exception.

Hence, Ayato will most likely be available on March 30, 2022, at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). As of now, Yae Miko's banner is live, and the rerun banners for Kokomi and Raiden Shogun will be released in the next phase.

In the ongoing 2.6 beta testing, several buffs have been provided to Ayato. His Base ATK and HP was increased recently, and now, the Elemental Burst will increase his attack speed as well (it used to buff the attack speed of other party members only before).
