When Genshin Impact releases version 4.3, it will not only introduce a pair of units but also add weapons that may help Travelers upgrade their well-rounded teams.

Genshin Impact Leaks New Minigame for 4.3 Main Event

A new leak for Genshin Impact provides details about a minigame that players can enjoy in the version 4.3 update later this year.

The Genshin Impact update 4.3 program gave players a sneak peek into the upcoming content, confirming that Chiori will appear in the Fontaine region. Since Kirara briefly mentioned her in version 3.7, Chiori has been the subject of leaks, some of which indicate that she will become playable in 4.5 in 2024. The character’s voice actor has been revealed to be Ayana Taketatsu, best known for her role as Suguha Kirigaya in the Sword Art Online series. Moreover, players got their first look at Chiori’s model, which many on Reddit think is pretty cool. It looks like she wears black gloves, an orange jacket, a small tie, and a hair ribbon.

Genshin Impact players barely know anything about Chiori, an Inazuma-based NPC who currently lives in the Fontaine area. As confirmed in the version 4.3 program, she will appear in a flagship event that features Kamisato Ayaka and Ayato. Though information about the character’s release date is still scarce, players can expect her to be available on the current banner in March 2024.

Going off early leaks, Chiori will be one of Genshin Impact‘s Geo users, which hints that she will need some backup to increase her damage potential due to the lack of elemental reactions. There is also a strong chance that the fashion artist will have a supportive kit featuring meaningful buffs and healing abilities. Of course, players will have to wait until next year to see if Chiori can live up to their expectations.
