Genshin Impact Iansan expected drip marketing date
According to a new leak from DK2, Iansan is expected to be released in the version 5.1 update. The information was vouched for by hxg_diluc on X, one of the most trusted sources in the community, so it is likely credible.
Supposing Iansan will be released in Genshin Impact 5.1, the developers will likely drip market her two days before version 5.0 is released. This is based on the previous drip marketing patterns, as HoYoverse typically reveals a new character two days before the launch of the update that precedes the version that features said character. For example:
- Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich will be released in version 5.0 but were revealed two days before the version 4.8 update.
- Emilie was released in version 4.8 but was revealed two days before the version 4.7 update.
- Clorinde, Sethos, and Sigewinne were released in version 4.7 but were revealed two days before version 4.6.
- Arlecchino was released in version 4.6 and revealed two days before version 4.5.
Following this pattern, it is safe to say HoYoverse will drip market Iansan on August 26, 2024, since version 5.0 will go live on August 28, 2024. It is worth adding that Xilonen is also rumored to be in this version 5.1, so one might see her announcement as well.
