Sam Release Date

No Official Release Date Yet

While Sam was shown during the 1.6 Livestream as one of the upcoming characters in the new world called Penacony, no official confirmations has yet been made by HoYoVerse regarding his playability.

We can only speculate that he may be released in one of the Version updates after Version 1.6. Since he was shown after Duke Inferno, we speculate that he may be released as a playable character with him or after him.
