Escoffier release date, reveal in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact takes us back to Fontaine with Escoffier! See what the Escoffier reveal tells us here, including her release date as a playable character in Genshin Impact.

While not much information is confirmed, leaks do give us an early look at her in-game skills and attributes. For starters, she is a 5-star Cryo character who wields a Polearm. She shares this archetype with Shenhe.

Escoffier's release date as a playable character should be on May 7, 2025, as version 5.6 goes live. She's most likely going to be featured in the first half of the banners. In this case, her banner shall conclude on May 28, 2025.

However, this information is based on speculation and has not been confirmed by HoYoverse. This article will be updated once official information has been released.

The reveal posted on official accounts and HoYoLAB makes it pretty clear that Escoffier hails from Fontaine. As the "LEad Goose of Precision Gastronomy," a lot of her character revolves around food. In fact, her splash art has her brandishing a ladle and a knife made out of

She was the ex-Head Chef of Hotel Debord and is considered a "culinary weathervane" by the Steambird's Gourmet Column. Escoffier seems to be more than this, though, as she's described as having controversies surrounding her, coming from colleagues and apprentices. Nonetheless, she is an important figure in Fontaine, and we'll get to know more about her as the Traveler and Paimon return there.

The quoted character in her reveal was Navia, and she disputes Escoffier being a terror. Navia talks about Escoffier's simple passion for cooking but does not deny her strictness. Again, we can expect to see more of this interesting dynamic in Genshin Impact 5.6 as Escoffier becomes playable.
