As per the Genshin Impact 2.6 leaks, Ayato will be available as a playable character along with Venti in the first character banner of the update and in the Phase II banner, players might get a chance to pull Ayaka and Kazuha. All of these characters are fan favourites so it's time to save your Primogems if you want one of them.

Still leaving it open for a possible triple but for sure these are running.
