The 2.5 version was released on February 16, and according to the regular timeline, the Genshin 2.6 update might be released on March 30, 2022, but what's more fascinating is that we're already getting leaks regarding the future 2.6 upgrade.

Genshin Impact 2.6 artifact sets
The effects, stats, and designs of two of the most recent Genshin 2.6 artifacts sets have been revealed thanks to 2.6 leaks.
One of the artifacts sets appears to be made for Xiao, while others speculate on whether the other will work with Ayato. Although it's too early to judge how relevant these artifacts sets will be in the final edition, their leaked data is nonetheless worth looking at.
Vermillion Hereafter and Echoes of an Offering in Genshin Impact will be the two new 2.6 artifacts sets. Both sets will have comparable two-piece effects (+18 percent ATK), however, their four-piece effects will be completely different.
It's worth noting that the names and effects of these substances are susceptible to change. Divine Chorus, for example, was renamed Ocean-Hued Clam in the 2.3 beta.

Let's have a detailed look at the two new Genshin Impact 2.6 artifacts.
- Genshin Impact 2.6 Vermilion Hereafter - Xiao's artifacts
Genshin 2.6 Vermillion Hereafter set has been detailed via leakers. Its 2-piece effect is identical to the Echoes of an Offering set, but it compensates with a unique 4-piece effect.
As per the leaked data, the following is the effect of Genshin 2.6 Echoes of an Offering set:
- 2-piece: ATK +18%
- 4-piece: After using an Elemental Burst, the character will gain a buff, increasing their ATK by 8% for 16s. When the character loses HP, their ATK will further increase by 10%. This ATK buff can occur up to once every 0.8s, max 4 stacks.
There are no Genshin Impact 2.6 leaks indicating that the set effect of Vermillion Hereafter has altered, implying players will probably see the present effect in the final version as well. With a 4-piece set, the user has the chance to gain the following ATK buffs:
- 18% increase (from the 2-piece set effect)
- 8% increase (after casting an Elemental Burst)
- 10% to 40% increase (the user gains one stack if they lose HP, up to four times)
A total of +66% ATK.
Every time the user takes damage after using Elemental Burst, it practically enhances their ATK. When this effect is used with the 2-piece effect, the active character's ATK can be increased by 66 percent.
Characters rarely injure themselves during their Elemental Burst, therefore counting on an enemy to do it is ineffective. As a result, some leakers and theorycrafters have described this artifact set as "tailor-made" for Xiao.

- Genshin Impact 2.6 Echoes of an Offering - Ayato's artifacts
Genshin 2.6 Echoes of an Offering is the second artifact set worth looking at. It has a 2-piece effect that is identical to Shimenawa's Reminiscence and Gladiator's Finale, but it also has a 4-piece effect that buffs Normal Attacks.
As per the leaked data, the following is the effect of Genshin 2.6 Echoes of an Offering set:
- 2-piece: ATK +18%
- 4-piece: Normal Attack (NA) has a 36% chance to initiate (once every 0.3s) a buff that boosts NA DMG by 60% of ATK. The buff expires 0.05s after the next Normal Attack that deals DMG. If a Normal Attack doesn't trigger the buff, the next Normal Attack will be 20% more likely to do it.
Echoes of an Offering will reportedly be introduced with its former effect seen above, however, there has been a tiny adjustment to the 4-piece set effect, which can be seen below.
It would have the following updated effect: "When Normal Attacks hit an opponent, there is a 36% chance that Valley Rite will be triggered, increasing Normal Attack DMG by 70% of ATK. After a Normal Attack deals DMG, this effect will be erased in 0.05s. If a Normal Attack fails to trigger Valley Rite, the chances of it occurring again are increased by 20%. This event can happen once every 0.2 seconds."
This minor buff effectively increased Normal Attack DMG by 10% while also allowing the effect to occur 0.1 seconds faster than before, however, The 2-piece set effect is still accurate. Yet, players should be aware that the content of the Genshin Impact 2.6 leaks is subject to change.
In comparison to Vermillion Hereafter, this artifact collection received less notice from the old Genshin Impact 2.6 leaks. It will be appreciated by characters who rely on their Normal Attacks for the majority of their offense.
Some fans believe that, given Ayato's Elemental Skill, this artifact set will function well with him in Genshin Impact 2.6.

Other Genshin Impact 2.6 artifacts leak
Both sets will be in Domain Reliquary: Tier II, according to another Genshin Impact 2.6 leak. Given that Domain Reliquary: Tier II only contains 4-star artifacts, the 4-star forms of Vermillion Hereafter and Echoes of an Offering are likely to be included.
@Genshin_Intel said, "The purple artifact boxes (Domain Reliquary: Tier II) from Floors 9-12 of Spiral Abyss will no longer have 4* artifacts from the Gladiator and Wanderer's Troupe sets. They will be replaced by the new artifact sets in 2.6 ("Vermillion Hereafter" and "Echoes of an Offering")."
These new Genshin Impact 2.6 artifacts' designs have also been revealed.
