Genshin Impact 4.4 Banner leaks

We'll have to wait for the 4.4 livestream for official details on who the character event Banners will be, but there has been some leaks and official information that has provided details on the likely upcoming 4.4 Banners for Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Based on the always reliable drip marketing on Genshin Impact's official X (formerly Twitter) account, it's almost certain that Xianyun (Cloud Retainer) and Gaming will be featured on the 4.4 Phase 1 Banners in Genshin Impact.

According to leaks from Uncle SH and videreleaks relayed by ukrisreng on the Genshin_Impact_Leaks subreddit and lionboymains on the lionboymains subreddit, Xianyun is a 5-Star Anemo catalyst user and Gaming is a 4-Star Pyro archer.

As for reruns, there have been multiple leaks from users dimbreath and Full Stop Chan relayed by SaveYourPrimos on X (formerly Twitter) that point to Xiao, Nahida, and Yae Miko all getting reruns in version 4.4.

It's unclear what order they are in, but here's our estimate on what the 4.4 Banner schedule will be, based on these leaks:

  • Xianyun - Phase 1
  • Nahida - Phase 1
  • Gaming - Phase 1
  • Xiao - Phase 2
  • Yae Miko - Phase 2

Xianyun is almost certainly running during Phase 1, but Xiao, Nahida, and Yae Miko's Banners might swap around.

As a reminder, none of this information is official, so we'll have to wait until the 4.4 livestream for solid details on who will be on the next Banners in Genshin Impact.
