Genshin Impact 4.4 leak shows Cloud Retainer and Lion-dance Boy's design and element

GenshinMeow has shared the potential banner image of the flagship event of Genshin Impact 4.4. It features four characters who are expected to be in the Lantern Rite Festival. One of them is the rumored Gaming aka Lion-dance Boy, whose design has finally been leaked after months of teasing. It appears that he has the body model of a short male character, similar to Wanderer and Heizou.

Gaming is also seen wearing a Pyro Vision on his waist, further confirming his playability status in version 4.4. He is speculated to be a Catalyst unit, but his team role is still unknown.

In addition to this, the leaked image features Cloud Retainer in her human form, which hasn't changed since the previous Lantern Rite. Interestingly, she is hinted to be the new playable 5-star Anemo character in the upcoming version 4.4 update.

The leaker has also claimed that both skins are 4-star items.

Furthermore, since Ganyu and Shenhe are 5-star characters, the skins are likely to be paid items. However, the info is subject to change because it is based on leaks.
