Chinese gaming studio miHoYo earlier announced the content coming to "Genshin Impact" through version 1.4. Some fans, however, are already disappointed upon learning that their much-awaited Dendro characters might not yet arrive in Update 1.5.

Dendro Characters Not Yet Coming In Update 1.5

The latest information about Dendro characters' arrival in "Genshin Impact comes from reliable industry insider zluet. The insider breaks the disappointing news on Twitter, claiming that Dendro characters are not yet arriving in the hit gacha game in update 1.5. But the insider hints about potential character re-runs and notes that since Update 1.5 is not yet out, there's still a chance for major additions and changes, including the launch of Dendro characters.

Earlier, industry insider M1TSUBA leaked on Twitter that Baizhu, a possible Dendro character, could be featured in a banner under Update 1.5. Additionally, a story quest centered on Baizhu, similar to the Albedo quest in Dragonspine would be launched in the same patch, the insider claimed. Baizhu is anticipated to be the first-ever five-star character to launch in the hit gacha game.

The said character is also believed to wield a Jade Catalyst. It is believed that Baizhu is frail in nature. Thus, he could not wield a sword and instead settles with a Catalyst. Apparently, these details were taken from data mining activities and shared by a reliable Chinese insider. Apart From Baizhu and Yaoyao, another Dendro character could also launch in the upcoming patch, the insider shared. Yaoyao is a four-star Dendro character that would be released for free.
