According to what was reported by a new leak, it seems that miHoYo is working on a new type of weapon to be included in their famous work Genshin Impact.
The anime game is undoubtedly one of the most popular titles of the genre around, having also fascinated players outside the world of Japanese animation. An element that has undoubtedly helped to achieve this goal is precisely the large roster of characters and the weapons they wield.
Genshin Impact has at the moment 5 types of different weapons: one-handed swords, Claymore, Bow, Catalyst and Pole weapons. However, according to the leaker UBatcha, it seems that in that of the software house they are working on a new type, which seems to be a mix of close and long range combat.
We currently don’t have a release date or event where they might make an announcement, but it’s interesting to note that Dawei, co-founder of miHoYo, previously mentioned the topic. In August of last year, he said that the game would receive regular updates that would sometimes bring “new ways to play“.
There’s a new weapon type in the works, this would be a mixed close combat and ranged weapon type.
Release date for this is unknown

There is a new type of weapon in the works, it should be a mix of close and long range combat.
The release date is unknown.
In the same interview, Systems such as farming and skins were mentioned for the first time. All functions that are currently implemented in-game. We could therefore expect the innovation in question in the future.
Having no other information on the matter, we can only speculate on the nature of this new type of weapon for Genshin Impact. It could be a shuriken, which is something that has short and long range (like Yuffie’s in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade).
Something like chakrams, however, would make more sense and would not be limited to a single regional culture. Either way, we’ll have to look forward to further updates from miHoYo.
Before leaving, we refer you to our article dedicated to the two new characters announced a few hours ago, Yun Jin And Shenhe.
