This morning, Genshin Impact’s official Twitter account provided more information about Shenhe and Yun Jin, who will be playable characters in the future. According to the tweets, Shenhe will be a user of cryo-element rod weapons and Yun Jin will be a user of geo-element rod weapons.

Shenhe is the second cryo weapon user to debut after Rosaria (who will be a featured character in tomorrow’s event banner). According to her official lore, she is an exorcist who trained under the Cloud Retainer as a disciple.

From the miHoYo blog post:

Living with adepts as a human is by no means an easy task, but Shenhe has a unique constitution, an immensely strong will, and a great talent for the arts of adepts, which have earned her recognition as adepts. However, the long years of cultivation, combined with the habit of eating divine herbs and drinking the dew of the mountains, have made her increasingly distant from earthly life, so much so that she is even considered a mysterious white-haired adept.

Yun Jin will be the second geo polearm character in the game. Her design is based on Beijing opera artists and she is the director of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe. Despite his elegant and high-class background, Yun Jin loves rock and roll performances.

Also from the official blog:

Yun Jin is known for her sweet singing voice and intricate costumes, as well as her animated and dynamic performances. Whether she is a delicate and dignified young woman or a powerful and honorable heroine, she can play any role.

Yun Jin’s announcement coincides with a winter lineup that is absolutely filled with geo-element characters (Albedo, Itto, Gorou, and Noelle).

There is currently no reliable information on when these characters will be available in the game. There is no specific date for when these characters will be playable, but the community speculates that they will arrive in Update 2.4 (since Itto and Gorou were also revealed shortly before their announcements in version 2.3).

However, that hasn’t stopped Genshin Impact’s player base from reacting enthusiastically to the revelations. It will never stop being fun to me that Genshin characters can be trending on Twitter alongside non-gaming topics like “Thanksgiving” and “Black Friday”.
