Genshin Impact leaks: Next Kokomi rerun in 3.0?

next kokomi rerun featured

The current Genshin Impact version is slowly crumbling back into the usual lull period common in every update, so most people are setting their eyes on the next big version release and its features. According to the latest info on Sumeru, the next Kokomi rerun could be happening in the next update.

By now, most people have already heard about Zhongli and Ganyu being the reruns for this update, with no previous mention for the Watatsumi Island priestess. She already had a fairly recent rerun in 2.5 when compared to others like Hu Tao or Childe. But it’s very possible that she’s featured once more, and we’ll tell you how can this be.

Sumeru with the next Kokomi rerun

After having previously made a huge thread with predictions and possible scenarios for the banners, SaveYourPrimos has once again, through its alt account, presented us a new possibility with leaks that come directly from the reliable Uncle Chasm, who earned his name by providing accurate information about The Chasm region ahead of its introduction.

This new leak confirms reruns for the Liyue characters, but also includes the next Kokomi rerun in the batch for the second phase. It also affirms that no Phase 3 will be present in 3.0, so there’s no need to worry about a third different banner being introduced later. No mentions about 3.0 ending earlier were made, but this doesn’t confirm it will have a regular duration either.

Collei is still expected to be on Tighnari’s banner in the first half, and while Dori’s banner cannot be exactly pinpointed as noted by them, it’s very likely that she will be on the second one in order to promote it. This is all speculative, of course, and the final lineup could be completely different.

Why is Hoyoverse bringing Kokomi again?

After a controversial release in 2.1, the next Kokomi rerun was in 2.5 alongside the Raiden Shogun. Initially perceived as a weak character, she rose in popularity with the combination of new enemies being introduced, a new Artifact Set tailored for her and the discovery of many powerful teams centered around her incredible Hydro application.

Nowadays, she’s highly regarded as a very competent battle healer and usually sees high usage in most Spiral Abyss circles.

Still, it’s definitely way too early for her to be back after only 4 patches. Childe was infamous for being the first character to have two almost back-to-back reruns, but it’s been a long time since he last came back. The same could be said for Albedo, who had the spotlight during his debut and in his 2.2 rerun alongside Eula.

But in the end, the next Kokomi rerun and these other banners are most likely a marketing strategy as noted by SaveYourPrimos.

The three rerun characters are regarded as excellent in their roles. Zhongli is one of the best supports in the game, Ganyu is one of the strongest damage dealers and Kokomi has almost everything could expect from a healer. Hydro will also be a strong pair for Dendro reactions, so bonus points for her when the context is considered.

And even without this context, she’s a very popular character by herself in the fandom. Her previous comings were outshined by Raiden, who stands as one of the most popular characters in Genshin history. Now players may give her another chance as she’s competing with characters that also had recent reruns and a character that might join the Standard pool soon.

The livestream trailer for 3.0 should air this next week. When they finally announce the Sumeru banners, it wouldn’t be such a surprise if the next Kokomi rerun is somehow present.
