The first batch of drip marketing for Genshin Impact Version 4.5 has been released, revealing that Chiori is the first new character joining the game in a subsequent version update.
Chiori the Thundering Seamstress and Boss of Chioriya Boutique is a character we’ve known about for quite some time. As the first new character revealed for Version 4.5 – the version update released after the next upcoming version, 4.4, which will bring the annual Lantern Rite event and the highly anticipated Cloud Retainer as a playable character – Chiori will likely be a 5-star character. Chiori is a Geo Sword unit, the third of her kind after Geo Traveler and Albedo, with the Cisoria Constellation.
In the new images, Chiori is wearing the same outfit we saw her in during 4.3 wielding two sharp needle-like swords adorned with flowers similar to the one in her hair. Often, if a 5-star unit is wielding a weapon in their drip marketing, that will be their signature weapon available alongside them on the Weapon Event Wish. Interestingly, because Chiori has two swords in her drip marketing instead of just one, it is likely that she’ll use two swords for her Normal Attack, Skill or Burst, similar to Alhaitham.

Chiori was first mentioned in Version 3.7 by Kirara, a character she designed a special outfit for. We first met her during the Genshin Impact Version 4.3 flagship event, Roses and Muskets, where Chiori played a pivotal role in the event’s main story. She is an artisan and seamstress originally from Inazuma and currently living in Fontaine, where she maintains the famous Chioriya Boutique, whose clients include the President of Spina de Rosula, Navia.
Drip marketing refers to the teaser images for upcoming characters released on social media before a new version’s release. Hoyoverse often releases new rounds of drip marketing just before the new version comes out, giving players a hint at what’s to come beyond the current update.
Genshin Impact Version 4.5 is scheduled to be released sometime in March, with Version 4.4 arriving on the 31st of January.
