Genshin Impact 2.5 release date, banners, and what we know sofar
Genshin Impact 2.5 Release Date
Genshin Impact 2.5 will be released on February 16, 2022, although it is not yet confirmed. Beta testing has been underway, which has led to rumours that some nerfing has already taken place for some of the new monsters.
What’s new with Genshin Impact 2.5
We have previously heard of Shadowy Husks, who would appear as an enemy in 2.5. But it seems that miHoYo may have reduced its power before the launch. This information was gathered during beta testing. We like it when companies act on the feedback from their playtesters.
Three types of Shadowy Husk are expected to debut in 2.5. These are:
Standard Bearer If it hits, shielded characters can create shields to protect their allies.
Line Breaker Can heal its allies if it hits shielded figures.
Defender If it has hit shielded, characters can use a shield to block DMG.
The beta leaks suggest that they have been nerfed ever since we first saw them. We will be watching to see how the update arrives.
Genshin Impact 2.5 Yae Mio – New character
Yae Miko, who will appear on the first banner, is the only character leaked.
Yae Miko attack abilities
Here are the capabilities of Yae Miko, the latest character. A complete guide will be available soon, but here are some highlights.

Genshin Impact 2.5 Livestream
The date of the regular launch live stream is not yet set. The update is usually live-streamed approximately two weeks before the launch date. With that in mind, we expect the stream to be available in the first few days of February.
Genshin Impact 2.5 banners
We don’t have any information at the moment about the Genshin Impact 2.5 banners, but we do know Yae Miko will be arriving in the f1 flag on February 16.
