Genshin Impact: Kirara and other featured characters' banner release speculation

Genshin Impact 3.7 will not feature any new 5-star. Instead, a new 4-star will debut in the upcoming banners, based on previous leaks. This was later confirmed by HoYoverse officials as they officially admitted Kirara, a new forthcoming Inazuman character, in their drip marketing post. Since then, credible sources have leaked everything about the gold-level courier from the Komaniya Express, including her ascension materials, kit, and passive abilities.

The latest leaks have confirmed that Kirara will be featured as one of the 4-stars on Phase I of the 3.7 banner. With Chongyun and Yunjin, all three characters will have a boosted drop rate in the upcoming banners. They will appear on the following 5-star rerun banners:

• Yoimiya (Pyro Bow)
• Yae Miko (Electro Catalyst)

These 5-star rerun banners will stay available for 21 days after the version 3.7 update launch. Genshin Impact officials have already divulged that they follow a strict 42-day patch cycle for their version updates. Considering developers have always stuck to this schedule (2.7 being the only exception), players can easily speculate on the new version update and Kirara's banner release date with this information.

The current 3.6 update will enter Phase II on May 2, 2023, and can be assumed to stay active for 21 days. Hence, it can be anticipated that Genshin Impact 3.7 and its first half banner will launch together on May 24, 2023, at 11 a.m. (UTC+8). Remember that this date can vary depending on which servers are being by the players.
