While we’re still adventuring through Version 4.6, whispers of the next major update, Genshin Impact 5.0, have already begun to surface. Buckle up, because based on leaks, Natlan, the fiery nation, promises a scorching adventure!
Genshin Impact 5.0 Release Date
Based on miHoYoverse’s typical six-week update schedule, Genshin Impact 5.0 is expected to arrive on Wednesday, August 28th, 2024. This update likely signifies a major turning point, skipping version 4.9 and jumping straight to 5.0, just like previous major content releases.
New Playable Characters
Leaks suggest three new characters will grace us with their presence in version 5.0. While details on the Pyro Archon remain under wraps, these upcoming characters promise exciting gameplay additions. The leaks hint at:
- A five-star Dendro character wielding a claymore
- A five-star Hydro character wielding a catalyst
- A four-star character (element and weapon unknown)
It’s likely these characters will be spread across the two banners in the update, giving players a chance to snag their favorites.
New Artifacts
Version 5.0 is also rumored to bolster the Artifact Strongbox with exciting new additions. Deepwood Memories, Gilded Dreams, Desert Pavilion Chronicles, and Flower of Paradise Lost are all potential candidates.
Deepwood Memories caters to Dendro characters, while Flower of Paradise Lost and Gilded Dreams offer Elemental Mastery boosts. Desert Pavilion Chronicles, meanwhile, empowers Anemo damage dealers with increased attack speed and bonus damage to charged, plunging, and normal attacks.
Welcome to Natlan
Teased during the 4.7 livestream, Natlan seems to be a fiery land with a volcanic terrain, bordering Sumeru. This region is also rumored to be the home of the adorable Saurian – creatures that look less like fire-breathing dragons and more like your cuddly companions.
Leaks suggest these Saurian will play a big role in traversing Natlan. According to rumors, they can burrow underground, scale cliffs, and even swim through water and lava! Imagine soaring through the air on a Saurian’s tongue – that’s some next-level exploration! The leaks also hint that Natlan might be divided into four distinct areas, with the three new characters hailing from different tribes within the region.
This is just a taste of what awaits in Genshin Impactt 5.0. Stay tuned for more information as miHoYoverse officially reveals the details of this exciting update.
