With the upcoming release of Genshin Impact’s Version 5.3, scheduled for January 21, 2025, an exciting lineup of new characters has been unveiled for the Event Wish. However, not all fans are thrilled, particularly concerning the inclusion of one favored four-star character.
Highlights of Version 5.3 Event Wish
The first phase of this Event Wish will showcase notable characters such as Mavuika, Kachina, Bennett, and Diona. Each of these characters is expected to have a significantly increased drop rate, providing players an ideal opportunity to acquire them. This event serves as a crucial moment for fans aiming to enrich their character roster.
Fan Frustration Over Bennett
Despite the anticipation surrounding the new banners, many players were disheartened to see the familiar face of Bennett once again featured. After the announcement on the Genshin Impact Reddit platform, numerous fans expressed their dissatisfaction regarding his repeated appearances.

This marks Bennett’s fourth rerun within the year, leading to considerable frustration among fans, especially when other characters like Heizou have only had one rerun in 2024. Many fans quickly took to social media to criticize what they perceived as a lackluster banner, with some declaring their intent to skip the release altogether.
Community Reactions
One player humorously pointed out HoYoverse’s pattern of continuously reintroducing Bennett, stating, “New Year. Same old Bennett rerunning 3 patches later.” This sentiment was echoed by others who lamented, “God, why is it always Bennett? There are other 4-stars in this game!” and expressed that they were simply “tired of Bennett”.
As the game boasts nearly 100 characters, fans find it perplexing that one character appears more frequently than others, sparking discussions about the perceived monotony in character reruns. The anticipation of upcoming banners in 2025 raises the question of whether Bennett will continue to dominate the spotlight or if fresh characters will finally take center stage.
The arrival of Version 5.3 is a mixed bag for players, stirring excitement for new additions while simultaneously invoking frustration over repetitive character inclusion. How this will shape future banners remains uncertain, but it certainly sets a controversial tone for the year ahead.
