Various leakers have hinted in the past that Tingyun’s new form will be the second character that will receive their drip marketing announcement. Lore-wise, she has been missing for a really long time, with her last appearance being in version 1.2 when she was brutally eliminated by Phantylia during the Trailblaze Mission of the patch.

On top of this, there is speculation that HoYoverse’s decision to reveal the character on October 11 is because the date aligns with the Double Ninth Festival, which is a traditional Chinese holiday that occurs on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar.
