A recent leak from Genshin Impact is teasing several new characters set to feature in the gacha banners for the game's upcoming Versions 5.2 and 5.3 updates. The launch of the HoYoverse RPG's newest region has already brought plenty of new roster members to the RPG's lineup, featuring both four-star and five-star characters. Version 5.0 saw the introduction of Mualani and Kinich as new five-star characters, with Xilonen also confirmed to be arriving in Version 5.1. Now, some of the region's most highly-anticipated characters are being teased.
The trio of new characters added in Version 5.0 serve as just a small part of a plethora of characters Genshin Impact has already hinted at for Natlan. Trailers leading up to the release of the game's sixth playable region showed off a plethora of new cast members, including Chasca, Iansan, and Pyro Archon Mavuika among others. HoYoverse also introduced several of Natlan's main cast throughout the story of the region's first update, with several participating in the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame. Now, four new Genshin Impact characters are said to be on the way soon.
Genshin Impact Reveals New Characters in Version 5.1 Livestream
Version 5.1 introduces the other half of Natlan's colorful cast, as the new livestream offers players a first look at Citlali, Ororon, and Xilonen.
A new leak from prominent HoYoverse leaker hxg_diluc via fellow leaker DK2 is hinting at the release windows for several new Natlan characters. According to the leak, Version 5.2 will see two new characters introduced, with Chasca joining the game as a five-star unit alongside Olorun's introduction as a four-star character. The leak seemingly confirms previous rumors about Mavuika's debut in Version 5.3, while also teasing the introduction of Citlali as another new five-star character during the update. Version 5.2 is expected to release in November, while Version 5.3 will likely arrive in late December or early January.
Genshin Impact Leak Teases Version 5.2 and 5.3 Characters
Version 5.2
- Chasca: Five-star Anemo character
- Olorun: Four-star Electro character
Version 5.3
- Mavuika: Five-star Pyro character
- Citlali: Five-star Cryo character
The potential confirmation of Mavuika's Version 5.3 release comes as the Pyro Archon has already seen plenty of rumors about her in-game appearance and playstyle. Previous leaks have heavily suggested that players will be able to briefly control Mavuika during Version 5.1's new Archon Quest. Mavuika has also seen early details surface about her in-game kit, suggesting she may play a supportive role focused around buffs. Many leaks have even described Mavuika's kit as an upgraded version of past characters like Dehya and Xiangling.
While fans can already look ahead to the character lineup for Genshin Impact's future versions, the upcoming Version 5.1 looks to be making major changes to the game. Version 5.1 will introduce a new reward system for Genshin Impact's exploration, incentivizing players with Primogems to explore the game's newest areas. The update will also feature a new event in the Sumeru region, tasking players with aiding in the setup for the region's Sabzeruz Festival. Fans of Genshin Impact should have plenty to look forward to from the game, both in its next update and beyond.

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...

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!
