### When Will Zhongli Banner Come Back in 2023? Analyzing the Release Dates

Greetings, fellow adventurers! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s been hot on the ears of many Genshin Impact players: **when will the Zhongli banner return in 2023?** Let’s carefully analyze the information available and see what we can predict.

#### Historical Context

Zhongli’s banner has a history that’s set by the game developers, **miHoYo**. Based on previous patterns, characters usually return every 5 to 8 months in Genshin Impact. Zhongli’s most recent banner was part of **Version 3.0**, released around **August 24, 2022**, and concluded on **September 9, 2022**. After this, he did not appear in any major banners, leaving players eager for his return.

#### Upcoming Banners Based on Patterns

Zhongli has always been associated with significant events in the game. Considering he first appeared during a big event in 2022, it’s plausible he will make a comeback during another substantial event. Two key events stand out for his potential reappearance:

1. **Chinese New Year** (February 22, 2023: According to the traditional Chinese calendar)
– Characters often make a return during major festivals and events in Genshin Impact. Given that the Chinese New Year aligns with February 2023, Zhongli’s banner could make a re-appearance then.

2. **Baizhu & Version 3.6** (Expected Release in May 2023)
– There are rumors and some leaks suggesting that the highly-anticipated Sumeroja character, **Baizhu**, will be part of the **Version 3.6** rollouts. He is expected to launch around May 2023. Considering Zhongli’s significance to the Liyue and his usual frequency of appearance, it’s reasonable to expect Zhongli to return alongside Baizhu sometime around May 2023 if not earlier.

#### Current News and Rumors

Based on recent rumors and developer hints, the banner schedule for 2023 indicates:

– **March, 2023:** Ningguang and Xingqiu appear in the **Starglitter Exchange.**
– **April, 2023:** Amber and Razor expected to be featured in the **Starglitter Exchange.**
– **May, 2023:** Bennett and Lisa will be available in the **Starglitter Exchange.**

It’s clear that the planned **Version 3.4 Update (January 2023)** primarily features other popular characters and the inclusion of Baizhu (expected in **Version 3.6, May 2023**) could signify the start of Zhongli’s rerun.

#### Player Opinions and Speculations

Players’ opinions on Zhongli’s banner comeback lean towards the aforementioned dates but also consider other implications. Many players speculate his potential integration during celebrations, while some believe his reappearance will coincide with **Version 3.6** due to the planned rollouts of other key characters like Baizhu.

A popular discussion on Reddit, where players share their expectations and thoughts, suggests that Zhongli’s banner could be due in May 2023 when Baizhu is expected to be released in **Version 3.6**. Others speculate it might be around February 2023, coinciding with the Chinese New Year event.

#### Final Thoughts

While there’s no official confirmation regarding **Zhongli**’s banner appearance in **2023**, the historical data, and player speculation point towards either **February** or **May** as potential dates for his return. Given the Chinese New Year falls in February and Baizhu’s release in May, players awaiting Zhongli’s banner can look forward to one of these two moments to potentially obtain the Geo Archon himself.

Stay tuned for more updates, and if Zhongli makes a splash around the mentioned dates, you’ll want to be prepared to grab him from the banner!

Happy Questing, adventurers!
