Genshin Impact's 2.2 Update is around the corner, and we have already started receiving information about the subsequent update.

This month marked the first anniversary of Genshin Impact, and it has been quite an amazing year for both the game and the community. While the game shattered several records and managed to perform quite well in terms of revenue as well, the community was greeted with tons of new updates and rewards over the past few months.

That being said, the past few weeks have been quite mixed for fans of the game. Many were dissatisfied with the anniversary rewards and as a result, miHoYo made some interesting changes. The Concert Bundle which was initially leaked to be sold during the anniversary was given out for free, albeit with a few tweaks. Fans were quite elated with the surprise gift, but there is more to come.

Genshin Impact 2.3 Leaks: New Character Itto, Weapon Picture Leaked

All that aside, we have received some interesting information today. Like always, leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, so everything mentioned here might or might not be true, but we try to cover the stuff which has some credibility. This leak comes from IttoMains subreddit, by user u/bbbhrnd.

The leak states that Itto will be released as part of the 2.3 Update. Although this is contrary to what some leakers had said recently, this falls in line with some of the earlier leaks in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Discord. Here is what the leak states.

Itto in 2.3, he doesn't need a rework. [The 2.3 new weapon banner alongside him] will be a blue exclusive weapon. White hair, a lot of exposed skin, his clothes are black and red with a bit of white, short sleeves and an exposed chest [? I'm sorry, this part was a little unclear]. In addition, he requires a mono-Geo team and cannot work with Raiden ["雷神" the word they use means Thunder God, it's the Chinese name for Raiden].

2.3 will also release two new Artifact sets-- ones that will fit Albedo, Itto, and Kokomi [this last one was hard to translate-- Kokomi's name isn't transliterated in Chinese].

The insider states that they won't be stating information about gacha banners and Gorou's skills because at this point it is pure speculation, and to check it out in the picture below [? there is no picture lol, I assume this is part of the "insider Chinese leaker forum"] if interested.

Quite notable of all is the picture of the weapon, which was leaked along with it. You can find the imaged embed above. Considering the 2.3 Beta has not yet started, all this is a lot of speculation, but still gives fans a good insight into the future update.
