The biggest event of Genshin Impact is right around the corner. For those who have been playing Hoyoverse’s hit game, the Lantern Rite Festival is the biggest event in the game. In past years, the festival has offered a lot of rewards, activities, and even a story behind all of it. But, that’s not all. During every festival, players have gotten the chance to get a 4-star character for free. Now, rumors say that we might be able to get Yaoyao for free when Genshin Impact’s 3.4 version hits. Given how she is a 4-star character from Liyue and the past year we were able to choose Yun Jin who was new at the time, this seems quite possible to happen.
Yaoyao could be free during Genshin Impact’s 3.4 update during the Lantern Rite Festival
It is rare when Genshin Impact gives out characters for free, but it has done it in the past. During the launch of the Sumeru update, people were able to get Collei for free if they did a quick storyline. But, the time when the game actually gives a free character is during Liyue’s biggest event. Yaoyao was revealed during The Game Awards, and we know she is coming for the 3.4 version, probably for free as well.

Alongside her, we’ll also get Alhaitham, not for free, of course, but as a 5-star Dendro user. Both of the new characters have been officially revealed with leaks showing how their kit will play. Still, people seem pretty happy to see Yaoyao finally making an appearance. She was leaked all the way back when Kokomi was leaked so it’s been a while. Now, we’ll have to wait and see if Yaoyao is actually free with Genshin Impact’s 3.4 version hits. Remember that the 3.3 version is packed with content right now. You can even name The Wanderer during the main mission and pull for him during this update.
