- Version 5.2 will also introduce two new playable characters to Genshin Impact, with leaks also hinting at Natlan's first map expansion.
A recent leak from Genshin Impact is showing off the newest Local Legend enemy set to be added to the Natlan region with the Version 5.2 update. The massively popular RPG from HoYoverse has featured a wide variety of different types of enemies for players to encounter throughout the sprawling world of Teyvat. From enemies like Hilichurls and Fatui members players can find roaming around the map to Genshin Impact's many in-game bosses granting helpful resources, players have no shortage of challenges within the game's open world. However, the release of Fontaine saw a brand-new type of enemy introduced to Teyvat.
Local Legends serve as some of the most powerful enemies Genshin Impact has to offer, with staggering health totals and devastating attacks. HoYoverse first introduced the new breed of Genshin Impact enemy with the release of Fontaine, featuring a selection of Local Legends scattered throughout the Hydro region. Genshin Impact added several more Local Legends throughout the Fontaine cycle, with the launch of Natlan earlier this year also bringing its own Local Legends. Now, a new leak is teasing the next Local Legend being added to Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact Leak Teases New Local Legend
A new video shared by prominent HoYoverse leaker Firefly Leaks is showing off Natlan's next Local Legend coming in Version 5.2. The leak showcases a cannoneer enemy wielding a Cryo cannon, firing several icy projectiles at the player and utilizing sizable AoE attacks. Fans and other leaks have also suggested that the new Local Legend may be an upgraded version of Liliuo, a warrior from Natlan's People of the Springs previously featured in the region's Archon Quest. The new Local Legend and Version 5.2 are currently expected to launch on November 20.
The addition of a new Local Legend to Natlan will join an already expansive lineup of enemies introduced with the game's sixth playable region. Natlan features four different Local Legend enemies scattered throughout the region, including several Fatui characters and even a large turtle enemy. The region adds several brand-new "Night's Trial" combat challenges as well, pitting players against some of the game's most powerful enemies with unique restrictions. Natlan also features three world bosses, with the most recent being added in the Version 5.1 update.
Genshin Impact's newest powerful enemy will come as part of an update expected to be jam-packed with content for the RPG. HoYoverse has confirmed two new characters will be joining Genshin Impact's roster during the update, with both Chasca and Ororon set to arrive to the game. Version 5.2 is also expected to introduce the first major expansion to Natlan's map, leaked to be adding the homelands of the Flower-Feather Clan and Masters of the Night-Wind. With new characters on the way and more of Natlan to explore, Genshin Impact fans have plenty of reasons to look forward to the game's next update.
