Genshin Impact 2.6 Leaker Reveals Irodori Festival characters

A Genshin Impact leaker reveals more information about new characters that will arrive in the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 2.6.

According to the tweet, the Irodori Festival will bring the following minigames:

• Take plant photos for two NPCs in order to inspire their poetry.

He has become one of the most anticipated Genshin Impact characters since his voice was teased in the official trailer for Arataki Itto. Multiple characters in the game claim that Ayato is a skilled sword and polearm user. Ayato was originally rumored to be released alongside another four-star character Shikanoin Heizou.
