Genshin Impact 2.8 leaks: Kazuha, Heizou and Freedom Sworn poster release dates revealed

Genshin Impact 2.8 will mark the return of Kaedehara Kazuha, along with her signature weapon, the Freedom Sworn.

This update will also bring the new 4-star character Shikanoin Heizou, giving players the opportunity to grab some awesome Anemo characters from the featured leaderboard. Many fans were waiting for Heizou to return to the game, and he is now only a few weeks away. Kazuha is one of the most anticipated replays of all time and players won't want to miss it.

According to Genshin Impact leaks, Kaedehara Kazuha will arrive in the first half of update 2.8, meaning fans will have to wait until July 13 for a re-release.

Genshin Impact 2.8 leaks reveal Kaedehara Kazuha's re-release date

Its rerun is one of the most anticipated in Genshin history as it took a full year for Kazuha to return to the featured poster. Many players ignored him during his first run, but Kazuha has become a mainstay on many of the game's strongest teams.

This time, players won't want to miss out on Kaedehara Kazuha as she has proven to be an incredible 5-star Anemo support unit. It even performs incredibly well with a 4-star F2P weapon, making it suitable for all types of players. Kazuha is an incredible addition to almost any team with her buffs and ability to shatter resistance and increase her team's Elemental Damage. Definitely worth calling out from this poster.

Shikanoin Heizou will also debut in the first half of this update on July 13. Players waiting for the release of this 4-star Anemo Catalyst user won't have to wait any longer to summon this unique detective. He has a fighting style unlike any other in Genshin Impact and can deliver tons of damage as Anemo's Main DPS option.

As the game's first male Catalyst user, Heizou fights in a melee style that allows him to beat his enemies with Anemo-infused punches and kicks. This fighting style is completely different from the typical nursery rhymes that come with Catalyst users, and players will definitely want to give it a try when Heizou launches later this year.

Sworn Freedom is Kaedehara Kazuha's signature 5-star weapon, allowing her to provide even more powerful buffs to her team thanks to her powerful passive and Elemental Mastery sub.

The weapon will go live alongside Kazuha during the release of the update, meaning players will be able to summon the weapon as soon as Kazuha arrives. If fans want to get the most out of their support for Kazuha, this is the best choice for sword suits.
