Genshin Impact 5.0 Release Date

However, remember, this is an educated guess based on current trends. Delays are always a possibility, but we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.

New Playable Characters

Leaks suggest an exciting character line-up for version 5.0. Three new characters are rumored to join your party, although the coveted Pyro Archon remains shrouded in mystery. Here’s a taste of what we might see:

  • A Powerful Dendro Claymore User: This five-star character will likely pack a punch in close-quarters combat, wielding the power of nature.
  • A Hydro Catalyst Wielder: This five-star character is rumored to be a catalyst user, bringing the element of water to your team.
  • A Four-Star Mystery Character: The details surrounding this character are scarce, but they’ll likely complement the other newcomers.

Expect these characters to be featured on separate banners throughout the update.

Natlan Beckons: A New Region Ignites

A fiery new region awaits! Briefly teased in the 4.7 livestream, Natlan promises a dry, volcanic landscape unlike anything we’ve seen before. This fiery land is rumored to be located near Sumeru and will introduce the Saurian – adorable, dragon-like creatures that will likely play a key role in exploration.

Leaked footage showcases the Saurian’s impressive abilities, including burrowing underground, scaling cliffs, and even swimming through water and lava! One creature even uses its tongue to grab objects and fly, hinting at their potential for puzzle-solving and accessing hidden areas.

Whispers suggest Natlan will be divided into four distinct zones, with the three new characters hailing from different tribes within the region. However, this information remains unconfirmed.

Character Level Cap Increase

The path to power just got longer! Leaks indicate that version 5.0 will raise the maximum character level from 90 to 100. Specific details regarding the required ascension materials and any accompanying stat boosts remain shrouded in mystery.

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.

While these leaks offer a tantalizing glimpse into Genshin Impact 5.0, it’s important to remember that they haven’t been officially confirmed by HoYoverse. Keep your eyes peeled for official announcements as we inch closer to the fiery embrace of Natlan!
