Genshin Impact 2.5 is just a couple of weeks away and new details keep on trickling in. We already know the 5-stars characters of the Banner, and now it's the Weapon Banners' turn.
Some weeks ago we received news of a new Catalyst called Kagura's Verity the signature weapon of Yae Miko.
Rumors indicate that along with this new Catalyst travelers will witness the return of the very powerful Sword, Primordial Jade Cutter.
These two aren't the only weapons and artifacts travelers can expect in the next update!
Here is everything we know in regard to weapons in Genshin Impact 2.5.

Genshin Impact 2.5 will introduce two new catalysts, one from the Gacha System and another F2P, as rewards of Three Realms Gateway Offering, the main event in the ver. 2.5
