Gaming is a 4-star character that will be playable following the release of version 4.4 of Genshin Impact. If you want to know details about his kit and the exact release date, here’s everything about Gaming in Genshin Impact. 

Previously dubbed Lion Dancy Boy by the Genshin Impact community, Gaming is one of the highly anticipated characters heading into version 4.4. It is time for Liyue’s Lantern Rite festival, and Gaming is deeply rooted in the culture as his design is based on the Chinese tradition of Lion Dance. 

We already know all the materials Gaming uses for his ascension and talent level-up. You can also get him for free in the upcoming update since he is confirmed to be part of the Lantern Rite free 4-star pool in Genshin Impact.

All that said, here are all the details leaked about Gaming in Genshin Impact. 

Gaming is pronounced as Gah-Ming, and not gaming as in when we refer to video games.
