As always, you can find out more details about the update in the official Genshin Impact livestream. The stream usually takes place two weeks before the patch and almost always happens on a Friday. That's why it can be assumed that on May 28th, the game's creators will go live with their users.

Upcoming Character Banners in 1.6

Similar to the previous version updates, 1.6 will likely bring two new characters to Genshin Impact.

Kazuha is the most anticipated character who may appear very soon. Leaks suggest that he will be a 5-star Anemo character wielding a sword. It is speculated that Kazuha is a ronin who lives with Beidou. You can find out more about Kazuha here.

Another character associated with Inazuma is Yoimiya. Rumors say that she is a 5-star Pyro user with a bow. You can learn more about her in this article.

However, there are rumors that instead of Yoimiya, the 1.6 update is more likely to feature a rerun banner of Klee. In the last two patches, the game repeated the 5-star characters, so it's not hard to imagine that miHoYo will once again highlight Klee.
