What to Expect
A banner full of Geo Characters
According to leaks, Albedo is taking part in the story Quest, and he will be featured in the first Genshin Impact 2.3 banner.
We can expect to see the master Alchemist in a Banner for a second time. The last time Albedo took part in a banner was back in Genshin Impact 1.2.
The second banner for the 2.3 will arrive in Genshin Impact around December 13, 2021.
This character banner will introduce two new geo characters:
- Gorou is a general of the Sangonomiya troops. Part of the resistance that faces against the Vision Hunt Decree.
- Arataki Itto is the First and Greatest Head of the Arataki Gang, a 5-star character with a Geo vision that wields a Claymore.
The story is coming back to Dragonspine, a southern region of Monsdtadt. The area is the final resting place of the black dragon Durin, after being defeated by Duvalin and Barbatos, the Anemo Archon.
All of Dragonspine is affected by Subzero Climate. Grass does not burn, and players can gain the Sheer Cold gauge, receiving damage if they stay in the cold for long.

Genshin Impact on Nintendo Switch?
At the moment, we still don't know when Genshin Impact is coming to Nintendo Switch.
It was initially announced for September 2020 but has been indefinitely delayed with no new release date offered.
Many think that this is due to miHoYo needing more power for Genshin Impact and reflects the developer holding out for a "Nintendo Switch Pro."
Nintendo, though, has just announced the Nintendo Switch (OLED model), and it doesn't look like a "Switch Pro" is coming anytime soon.
Honestly, there will most likely be no new news of the Genshin Impact on the Switch any time soon.
