Summary
- Version 5.1 introduces Xilonen, Citlali, and Ororon for Genshin Impact.
- A new reward structure offers Primogems for exploration progress in every zone.
- Players should expect new characters, weapons, world boss, and event banners in Version 5.1.
Genshin Impact has officially unveiled Xilonen, Citlali, and Ororon in the latest Special Program livestream for Version 5.1. Though Xilonen is expected to be the sole addition to the playable cast in Version 5.1, the upcoming patch will also introduce the next two Acts of Natlan's Archon Quest, with the Masters of the Night Wind playing a prominent role. The Genshin Impact community continues to be excited about Xilonen and her potential to carve out a new niche in the meta as a universal Geo Support.
Though Version 5.1 will not feature a new zone, it will introduce a new reward structure related to open world exploration. For a limited time, Genshin Impact players will be able to collect 100 Primogems for every 20% exploration progress of a newly-released zone, up to a total of 400 Primogems. These rewards will be added to every subsequent map expansion in Genshin Impact, but players will only be able to claim the rewards for a limited time (up to a duration of two patches).
Genshin Impact Redeem Codes
Genshin Impact redeem codes commonly come with Primogems rewards that aid in players’ gacha experience.
However, the stars of the update are undoubtedly the new characters, as Citlali, Ororon, and Xilonen will feature prominently during the Archon Quest in Version 5.1. Ororon is expected to be a 4-Star Electro Bow character who will make his playable debut in Version 5.2, whereas Citlali is rumored to be a 5-Star Cryo Catalyst, slated for Version 5.3. Xilonen in Genshin Impact needs no introduction, as the 5-Star Geo Sword will headline the first half of the Event Banners alongside Chiori.

The second half of the patch will feature Hu Tao and Nahida on the Event Banners, with the latter also having a central role in Version 5.1's Flagship Event. The Sabzeruz Festival will be coming back to Genshin Impact, and players will be able to earn a free copy of Candace by participating during the event. While Xilonen, Chiori, Hu Tao, and Nahida in Genshin Impact make for an incredibly stacked set of Event Banners, Version 5.1 will also introduce three new 4-Star weapons to the Weapon Banner.
It should be noted that Version 5.1 will also add a new World Boss to Genshin Impact, the Secret Source Constructor, who will drop Ascension materials for Xilonen. While players should expect fewer Primogems in the upcoming update, Version 5.2 will come with a new map expansion and two new tribes – allowing players to secure extra pulls ahead of Mavuika's release in Version 5.3. Genshin Impact Version 5.1 comes out on October 9, 2024.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
