Genshin Impact 4.5 Banner leaks

We'll have to wait for the 4.5 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 4.5 Banners for Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Based on the always reliable official drip marketing, it's almost certain that new Geo character Chiori will be one of the 4.5 Banners in Genshin Impact.

As for reruns, according to a leak from Full Stop Chan relayed by hxg_diluc on X (formerly Twitter), we're also getting Kazuha and Itto in version 4.5. Leaker dimbreath on X also claims this, and adds that Neuvillette is getting a rerun alongside Kazuha.

If the leaks turn out to be true, then here's our estimate on what the 4.5 Banner schedule will be:

As a reminder, none of this information is official, so we'll have to wait until the 4.5 livestream for solid details on who will be on the next Banners in Genshin Impact.
