Is there an Ororon release date?
No, HoYoverse has yet to reveal an Ororon release date.
However, he was teased on Genshin Impact’s official X account on October 7, 2024, alongside Chasca –another upcoming character. HoYoverse usually teases future banner characters before their release in the next update, which means Ororon will likely be released in the Version 5.2 update.
The 5.2 update 5.2 update has no release date, but based on the usual six-week update schedule, it will likely be available by November 20, 2024.
Ororon element & weapon
