Al-Haitham in Genshin Impact: Release date revealed by renowned leaker
Follow Us
When will Al-Haitham release?
One of the first characters to be showcased during the promotional video of Sumeru in Genshin Impact, Al-Haitham might not be just a NPC from now on as a renowned leaker ‘Uncle Lu’ with reliable track record has confirmed that the character is going to be released in the 3.4 update.
Although his release date remains questionable right now as HoYoverse had mentioned that they are shortening the updates till the 3.3 patch which brought forward the release of version 3.3 to 7th December. As Al-Haitham will become playable in the 3.4 update, it cannot be confirmed whether the the 3.3 update will be shortened to 35 days or not.
His release could by far come during late January if the 3.3 update resumes the 42 day cycle which is generally followed by HoYoverse but if it remains shortened to 35 days, then players should be assured of summoning Al-Haitham in Genshin Impact within the middle of January next year.

What else is known about Al-Haitham in Genshin Impact?
Players were able to get a glimpse of Al-Haitham during the Archon Quest of the 3.0 update as the NPC helped the Traveler to unravel several mysteries revolved around Sumeru and the Dendro Archon but surprisingly, the character holds more information as leaks regarding Genshin Impact’s lore mentioned that Al-Haitham is quite close to the Lesser Lord Kusanali.
As for his element, it is more or less confirmed or showcased as well during the promotional video that Al-Haitham is going to be a Dendor character. He will be joining Tighnari, Nahida (Dendro Archon) and the Traveler in the list of 5-star Dendro characters. His weapon is not finalized yet but it is most likely to be sword or polearm.

There are crumbs of information regarding the kit of Al-Haitham in Genshin Impact. Renowned leaker BLANK stated that his elemental skill will allow him to throw a lotus-like structure on the field which can change the extent of its direction depending upon the throw of the character.
On the other hand, the character’s elemental burst will unleash a type of ‘fog’, which might be similar to the confusing technique unleashed by Tighnari. This ‘fog’ will further enhance the DMG provided by the Forlorn Lotus.
Genshin Impact leaks suggest that Al-Haitham will be accompanied by Yaoyao, another Dendro character of 4-star rarity that will use polearm as her weapon. It is however not confirmed whether they will be released around the same time or not, but if players are waiting to summon these characters, it’s better to start saving up from now.
