According to reliable Genshin Impact leaker SYP, the upcoming updates for the game have been revealed. After ver. 3.6 next week, update 3.7, expected to release in May, will introduce a new 4-star character named Kirara, who wields a catalyst and possesses Dendro magic with a cat-themed theme. Kirara’s Elemental Skill is rumored to grant climbing freedom, possibly enhancing stamina or climbing ability. Update 3.8, scheduled for early July, will not feature any new characters.
