With Version 1.3 of Genshin Impact still underway, a lot of fans are looking ahead to Version 1.4. Character leaks and rumors continue surfacing, with some rumors seeming much more convincing than others. One of the long-awaited playable characters for Genshin Impact is Ayaka, and fans have speculated she's coming in the Version 1.4 update. So, is Ayaka actually going to be playable in Genshin Impact 1.4?
Kamisato Ayaka has been a long-rumored character for Genshin Impact. Ayaka was featured in official footage from 2019, long before the open-world RPG ever released, so it certainly seems like developer miHoYo will add her into the game soon. Ayaka has been rumored as a playable character since at least Genshin Impact's 1.2 update, and now fans are wondering if she'll actually appear in Version 1.4.
Typically, rumors and leaks have a good track record in regards to Genshin Impact. In previous updates, rumored characters like Zhongli, Xiao, and Ganyu have all shown up in official announcements after leaks and rumors suggested they'd be added. Characters like Ayaka, who already have in-game footage or designs seen in Genshin Impact's official manga, definitely have a lot of merit when it comes to possible playable characters in Version 1.4. Here's everything fans should know about the latest Ayaka rumors.
Genshin Impact Version 1.4 Ayaka Rumors Explained
As with most of the leaks and rumors regarding playable characters in Genshin Impact, it's best to take the latest Ayaka rumors with a grain of salt. Fan speculation isn't always right - for example, when Hu Tao was expected to be a Banner character alongside Xiao in Version 1.3. So, it's always possible that Ayaka won't be arriving in Version 1.4, even if she's added into Genshin Impact eventually.
Admittedly, the rumors around Ayaka seem pretty convincing. Thanks to previous footage and the closed beta, fans already know that Ayaka is a Cryo user and wields swords in combat. That's more information than exists for other leaked characters for Genshin Impact like Mimi, for example, who hasn't been shown in anything official yet. So, the chances of Ayaka arriving as a playable character in Genshin Impact seem pretty high. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that she'll be a 5-star Banner character in the Version 1.4 update.
For now, fans will just have to wait for an official announcement from miHoYo. No characters have been officially confirmed for Genshin Impact Version 1.4 yet, so characters like Ayaka are still just rumors at this point. However, given how much of Ayaka fans have already seen, there's a great chance she'll be added to the game as a playable character soon - even if it isn't in the Version 1.4 update.
