The live stream confirmed that there would be two separate banners in Genshin Impact 1.5.

The first, as many had speculated for a while, will be Zhongli's banner re-run. The first banner that goes live will also feature a new four-star rated character in Genshin Impact, Yanfei.

Apart from this, the second banner will introduce the new five-star rated Cryo-elemental character, Eula. However, the second banner isn't expected to arrive anytime soon as the community is busy preparing for the "Geo Daddy's" banner re-run.

On top of the new characters and Zhongli's banner re-run, many players are excited to try out the new housing system that is going to be introduced in Genshin Impact 1.5.

Given that the housing system is a brand new feature in the game, it will be interesting to see how the community responds.

Considering the pattern that miHoYo has followed with updates since the game's release, Genshin Impact 1.5 is expected to be released on April 28th.

This means players will be able to try out their luck to grab Zhongli from his re-run banner the same day.

Having said that, Genshin Impact 1.5 will also feature various in-game bosses like Azhdaha, the Lord of Vishaps, as well as the new Cryo Hypostasis in Dragonspine.

On top of this, the update will also feature a new Trounce Domain where players will fight against Azhdaha.
