Summary

  • Genshin Impact leaks are sharing more details about Citlali's status as a limited character following her rumored Version 5.3 release.
  • Citlali is currently not expected to release as a standard-banner character, suggesting she will only be available through her limited gacha banner.
  • Genshin Impact's standard rotation of characters has often been panned by fans as being weaker units, with many feeling that characters like Dehya were made intentionally weak.

A new Genshin Impact leak is sharing an important detail about rumored Version 5.3 five-star character Citlali, with the Cryo character not expected to be a standard character. The launch of the newest region for the HoYoverse RPG introduced a wide variety of new characters to the game with plenty of unique roster members added and teased. Version 5.0 introduced a trio of new characters to the game with Version 5.1 later adding Xilonen as a new Geo character, while Version 5.2 will debut Chasca and Ororon. Now, one of the RPG's next characters is being teased early.

Though HoYoverse has yet to officially announce Genshin Impact's character lineup for Version 5.3, leaks have already given fans an idea of what's to come. Version 5.3 is heavily rumored to finally see the release of the newest member of Genshin Impact's Archons, with Mavuika expected to debut during the update. Mavuika won't be the only new character introduced during Version 5.3, with the Masters of the Night-Wind's Citlali also said to be joining the roster. A new leak is now hinting at an important detail for Genshin Impact fans waiting for Citlali's debut.

Genshin Impact Leak Teasing Citlali's Banner Status

A new leak shared by prominent Genshin Impact community member ProjectENKA is hinting at Citlali's release in Genshin Impact. According to the post, Citlali is not expected to debut as a standard banner character with her release in Version 5.3, with the character only expected to be available through her limited gacha banner. HoYoverse has previously added two new five-star characters to Genshin Impact's standard rotation following their limited banner in Tighnari and Dehya, while most four-star units are added after a patch or two. Version 5.3 is currently expected to release on January 1.

Citlali's absence from Genshin Impact's standard banner is likely to be a relief for many fans awaiting the character. Genshin Impact has often seen criticism for characters destined for the game's standard banner, often releasing in weaker states than many of the game's limited characters. Sumeru five-star character Dehya has often been seen as one of the weakest five-star characters in the game, with HoYoverse even previously looking for feedback from fans after her release. No five-star characters were added to the standard rotation during the Fontaine cycle.

Leaks about Genshin Impact's newest characters come as the game is expected to have plenty of exciting content on the way. The upcoming Version 5.2 has been heavily leaked to see a major expansion to the Natlan region's map, with both the Flower-Feather Clan and Masters of the Night-Wind expected to be added. Rumors have also swirled about the status of Natlan's Pyro version of the Traveler, currently expected to be given out through the region's Archon Quest. Genshin Impact's Natlan region looks to be bursting with new content throughout the next few updates.

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

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!
