A new chart from Genshin Impact shows the list of the game's four-star characters waiting to appear on a new gacha banner, with some seeing gaps of more than ten patches. The massively popular RPG from HoYoverse features a wide array of characters for players to choose from, with more new roster members debuting with each update to the game. HoYoverse recently revealed the trio of characters set to debut with Natlan's launch patch, showcasing Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich. However, plenty playable characters are still waiting to see their return to the limited banner.
Alongside the new five-star units starring on each Genshin Impact banner, a plethora of four-star units have also been added as lower-rarity characters.

While fans of some Genshin Impact characters have been waiting a long time for their return, HoYoverse has already shown off loads of new characters coming with Natlan. Beyond the Version 5.0 update, HoYoverse teased new characters like Citlali, Iansan, and Pyro Archon Mavuika through its recent "Ignition" trailer for Natlan. Leaks have also hinted at plenty of other potential playable characters to come, like Liyue's Madame Ping and Mondstadt's Varka among others. HoYoverse will look to offer plenty of new roster members as fans continue to wait for their Genshin Impact favorites to return.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
