For rerun banners, Genshin Impact 2.7 livestream will bring back Xiao again and Arataki Itto, the Geo charater that became playable in the 2.3 update. The latter character’s rerun was quite expected as he is closely acquainted with Kuki Shinobu. However, Xiao’s rerun that got revealed through leaks was a surprise to the players. He is going to play a crucial role in a story quest.

Apart from these primary attractions, players should be ready to take 3 new promo codes from the Genshin Impact 2.7 livestream. These primogems will help the players to pull for Yelan or Kuki Shinobu banners.
