Genshin Impact Anniversary Leak Reveals Keqing Story Quest

Amidst all that, the hype for the anniversary event is also rising. A new leak from Genshin Report suggests that Keqing will be playing a role during the anniversary event. However, that isn't going to be quite massive.

Quite notable of all is the fact that she will be getting a story quest in the game. This is something that fans had been waiting for for quite a while now.

Apart from that, it has also been mentioned that from the 2021 Anniversary onward, both Lumine and Aether will get equal representation as protagonists in the game. Genshin Report mentions that "There was an imbalance during year one, which mostly featured Aether as the hero and Lumine as the villain", and that is all set to change very soon.
