Genshin ImpactVersion 2.3 will bring two brand new playable characters to the roster, Arataki Itto and Gorou. Both of these characters have already been officially revealed on the official Twitter account a couple of weeks ago.
A more recent post on Twitter has revealed theGenshin ImpactVersion 2.3 announcement featuring three characters - Traveler, Gorou, and Albedo. This confirms all the previous leaks claiming that Albedo will finally bet a new banner re-run.

This tweet also confirms that Albedo will be featured on the first banner for the upcoming update which means that players will have to wait for a couple of weeks to get their hands on thenew five-star character Arataki Itto. Albedo has been a part of the game since the Dragonspine event back in update 1.2. His splendid support capabilities are the reason why the majority of the community has been asking for a banner re-run.
Albedo, Gorou, and Itto could make a strong party with Itto as the main DPS and the other two would fill the support roles. Having a party of characters that use the same Vision is usually considered bad but it actually works with Geo thanks to the unique Elemental reaction Crystalize which works independently from all other elements. Adding another strong Geo character like Zhongli could make this team one of the strongest team compositions in the game since they are able to burst through any type of elemental shields.
Arataki Itto has been leaked multiple timesover the last couple of months and players will finally have the opportunity to pull for him. When it comes to his Elemental Burst, it will provide a buff for a couple of seconds, similar to Razor’s or Beidou’s Elemental Burst. The buff will allow his Normal, Charged and Plunged attack to deal Geo damage. During the duration of his Elemental Burst, Itto’s Attack will get increased based on his Defense stat which means that players could find a use for all thestrong Defense stat artifactsthey have previously acquired. The biggest downside of this Elemental Burst is that it will get canceled once Itto leaves the field meaning that players will not be able to quickly swap through their party in order to dish out even more damage.
Itto’s ascension attribute will be Critical Damage which could make him one of thestronger DPS characters inGenshin Impact. This means that he will gain Critical Damage for each level ascension. His DPS potential will increase exponentially with each level which is usually the case with characters that have this ascension attribute.Genshin Impactupdate 2.3 should drop around November 20.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
