Genshin Impact developer Hoyoverse has released a brand new character teaser, this time for the previously announced Yelan - who will appear in the 2.7 update.

In the new trailer, titled Yelan: Inevitable Justice, we get to see the hydro DPS character kidnap and interrogate two mysterious guys who are talking about her behind her back, except she's actually right in front of them. 

In the video, Yelan remains calm and level-headed whilst also coming across as extremely intimidating - which is to be expected for someone who claims to work at the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You can see the character reveal for yourself below.

  • Ghost of Yotei snake demon Ghost of Yotei Legends DLC brings 4-player co-op and the demonic Yotei Six to Sucker Punch's open-world game next month

Along with the character teaser, Hoyoverse also revealed a tonne of other information about Yelan, including her Vision (hydro), Constellation (Umbrabilis Orchis), weapon (bow), affiliation (Yangshang teahouse), and her birthday (April 20). The character’s voice actors were also revealed, and so Yelan will be brought to life by Laura Post (English language) and ENDŌ Aya (Japanese language). 

Yelan, as well as fellow newcomer electro character Kuki Shinobu, were first revealed back in late March 2022. The pair will make their way into the RPG during the Genshin Impact 2.7 update, which is due to launch on May 31 after previously being delayed. 

There won’t be too long to wait for the next update either, as Hoyoverse has also previously said that 2.7 will only last for 6 weeks before version 2.8 will be introduced on July 13. 

Looking for something new to play while you wait for the 2.7 update? Take a look at our Games like Genshin Impact list for inspiration.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
