The leaked trailer for the upcoming Moonlight Merriment (Moonchase Festival) event surfaced on the internet and revealed footage of what appears to be Yelen, a lookalike of Honkai Impact 3rd’s Fu Hua before developer miHoYo could find the opportunity to confirm.

After the internet poured hours into uncovering more detail regarding the sudden appearance of the character, the information which is currently available revealed some interesting details about who Yelan is, as well as release date and rumours about her potential role in Genshin Impact.

Who is Fu Hua / Yelan?

As previously mentioned, the character appeared in the Moonlight Merriment (Moonchase Festival) event leaked trailer. The location of the event takes place in Liyue Harbour, which fueled speculation that she may be arriving as early as the 2.2. update or a little later in the 2.3. update.

This is based on concrete information derived from a trusted Genshin Impact source, Dimbreath, who first identified code that featured the character’s name back in July 2021.

Based on her appearance, combat style and preferred weapon lead us to believe that she has ties or connections with the Guhua Clan, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

When will Genshin Impact’s Fu Hua / Yelan release?

The developers have yet to officially confirm a release date on when the character will arrive in the game, so there is no set date.

While we can make estimated guesses on a possible timeline, given that Version 2.2 and 2.3 are arriving soon, we could likely see her arrival either before the end of 2021 or early next year.
