Genshin Impact may rerun Xiao before Yelan's banner, as per new leaks

Genshin Impact version 2.7 might get delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai, China. Accordingly, the developers might have to alter the standard 21-day banner cycle and 42-day update cycle.It is evident that HoYoverse employees haven't been able to work efficiently amidst the rising risk of COVID-19 in Shanghai. The maintenance of the Teapot Realm is incomplete, owing to which the Spices from the West event for version 2.6 has been scrapped.アノニマス れいじん 💚 🇺🇦@anonsbelleLooking at the next events list, we're getting Liben instead of Teapot event (Spices from the west).So, does it mean that Mihoyo wouldn't be able to fix it till the end of 2.6?

If that happens, then the rumored Xiao and Itto rerun banners might be released as per the original schedule.When will Kuki Shinobu and Yelan release in Genshin Impact?Prominent leaker Lumie has claimed that Yelan's banner is planned for the first half of the 2.7 update, while Kuki Shinobu will be featured in a banner during the second half.Lumie@lumie_lumieAccording to my , Yelan (5*) should be first phase of 2.7 followed by Kuki Shinobu (4*) in the second phase.7:59 AM · Mar 25, 2022362512864According to my 🐤, Yelan (5*) should be first phase of 2.7 followed by Kuki Shinobu (4*) in the second phase.Ideally, Yelan should arrive on May 11, 2022 and Kuki Shinobu should be released on June 1, 2022. In case there are any unexpected delays, we might witness both the characters in a single banner.All in all, Genshin Impact players should wait for an official announcement before saving/spending their Primogems on existing banners. The information above is based purely on leaks and speculation, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
