Summary
- Genshin Impact may reveal Natlan trailer soon, possibly on July 12.
- Natlan's Pyro Archon and 5-star characters teased for Version 5.0.
- Controversy over Natlan's cultural inspirations; 4.8 summer event expected on July 17.
Genshin Impact players may be getting a new sneak peek at Natlan in the upcoming days, as a new leak indicates that the nation's next trailer is on its way. Historically, Genshin Impact has launched a new nation with each x.0 update, meaning Natlan will likely drop in Version 5.0 near the end of August.
Out of all Genshin Impact's unreleased nations, Natlan is the most mysterious one. Since the game's release, players have met both playable and non-playable characters from various nations even before they were available, including Sumeru, Fontaine, Snezhnaya, and Khaenri'ah. However, no native characters from Natlan have ever appeared in-game. Luckily for fans, the suspense may end soon, thanks to a recent leak that suggests a new Natlan trailer is just around the corner.
A new leak from Full Stop Chan reveals that HoYoverse will share the next Natlan trailer on July 12. This would be the first look at the Nation of War since May, when Genshin Impact showcased Natlan's environment and Saurian beasts during the 4.7 livestream. The trailer showed three species of adorable Saurians and their transportation mechanics, but no characters were spotted. On the other hand, Version 4.8's livestream will be held on July 5, which means the rumored Natlan trailer won't be part of it.
Genshin Impact Leak Hints at Natlan's Next Trailer
Version 4.8 should mark the end of Genshin Impact's Fontaine era, given how the game usually skips the x.9 update before jumping to the next region. While there is little official information on Natlan, several leaks have shed light on Natlan's Pyro Archon's design and her role in the next Archon Quest, revealing that she will be an apprentice of Xbalanque, another mysterious Natlan character. Other leaks have also teased two upcoming 5-star characters in Version 5.0: a male Dendro Claymore and a female Hydro Catalyst.
Although there is evident growing hype for Natlan, players will have to wait until late August for its release. There's been controversy over the Pyro Archon's colonial design, considering that Natlan draws inspiration from Mesoamerican and West African cultures. Fans are eager to see what HoYoverse has in store for this nation's plot, but the developer may be taking a big risk with this concept. Nevertheless, Genshin Impact's 4.8 summer event is expected to launch on July 17 with a rumored limited-time area to explore. Previous leaks have reported that the event will once again center around the Hexenzirkel, so players should prepare for a lot of new lore.
