Genshin Impact fans think HoYoverse has ditched double banners over poor sales HoYoverseSome Genshin Impact fans believe that HoYoverse will stop doing double banners in the future due to the poor sales of Shenhe. During the 2.4 update, Genshin Impact players were able to choose between new 5-star character Shenhe and a rerun banner of Xiao running at the same time. While double rerun banners will continue, some fans believe that HoYoverse will drop the mechanic when introducing new heroes in the future after the solo release of Yae Miko in February. HoYoverse stopping double banners in Genshin Impact? Popular Genshin YouTuber \u2018Undiscovery Ch\u2018 covered the topic in their latest upload titled \u201cGOODBYE!!! Double Double Banner, HOYOVERSE Decided To Remove This Feature From Genshin.\u201d In the video, the fan explained, \u201cIn Genshin 2.4 we got a double banner for Phase 1 and another double banner for Phase 2. The first phase was Shenhe and Xiao and the second phase was Zhongli and Ganyu. But from the start of version 2.5, HoYoverse won\u2019t use that format again.\u201d The clip then theorized that the decision would be made after Shenhe\u2019s sales numbers. \u201cNow you will only get one banner for the new character and two banners for the rerun,\u201d they said. \u201cThis is probably because Shenhe didn\u2019t get enough spotlight, and also many characters couldn\u2019t Wish due to too many banners.\u201d According to the YouTuber, Shenhe and Xiao made $16 million combined which was substantially lower than a handful of other banners which focused on solo debuts. Undiscovery Ch also stated that they believed that Kamisato Ayato would get his own banner similar to Yae Miko when the 2.6 update launches. Genshin Impact players discussed the topic with many cheering on the possible decision. \u201cFINALLY we can\u2019t even enjoy when a new character comes out because there\u2019s going to be a meta character rerun,\u201d a fan excitedly replied. Another user said, \u201cI like this new format. Having 2 double banners in one patch is just too much for me.\u201d One comment exclaimed, \u201cThis is actually what I wanted to happen before. New characters should be highlighted and the reruns can be like extra after the main banner ends.\u201d Not everyone was convinced of the theory, though, such as one player who pointed out, \u201cI think they already stated that banners are decided depending on the story progresssion of the current update.\u201d Another fan agreed and said, \u201cHoYoverse said characters will be released depending on how relevant they are to the story.\u201d One also argued that Shenhe sales were down for other reasons. \u201cI don\u2019t think they will remove this feature,\u201d they wrote. \u201cShenhe didn\u2019t get much spotlight because she was very niche. It it was something like Ayaka + Kazuha everyone will roll.\u201d Only time will tell whether these theories are correct. However, Yae Miko\u2019s debut in Update 2.5 makes for the second character in a row to release with a solo banner after Arataki Itto in December 2021. If nothing else, many players have gotten their chance to sound off and it appears some are not happy with a rerun banner taking away the shine from new characters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
