But they will not be alone there, as they will join a new team of “diverse members” to “discover a long-sealed history about the people, monsters and the yakshas”. In addition a to new story quest and challenges, two new playable characters will also be introduced to the game. Their names are Yelan and Kuki Shinobu and HoYoverse has assured us they will be “capable allies”.
