A Genshin Impact leak is hinting at new story content coming with Genshin Impact's Version 5.7 update, teasing more backstory to come for fan-favorite Inazuma character Thoma. The HoYoverse RPG has featured a wide variety of different ways to present the story of its characters, between both the main story and side quests focused around particular cast members. "Character Quests" focus on the stories of individual roster members, while HoYoverse has also featured "Hangout" events for several of its four-star units. Now, one of Inazuma's most popular characters is getting new story content soon.
Genshin Impact's island region of Inazuma has served as one of the game's most popular locales since its initial debut in Version 2.0. Inazuma was the first fully new region added to the game following its release in late 2020, featuring a wide array of unique locations between the towering Tenshukaku and the picturesque Watatsumi Island. The region has also boasted some of Genshin Impact's most beloved characters, including fan-favorite cast members like Kamisato Ayaka, Raiden Shogun, and Sangonomiya Kokomi. New information is now hinting at a brand-new event for one of Inazuma's playable characters.

New leaks shared by Genshin Impact leakers MadCroiX and spletnik_fatui are hinting at some new backstory elements for Thoma in Version 5.7. According to the leak, Genshin Impact's new story content will introduce Thoma's mother, Ulrika, as a member of the Knights of Favonius, dispatched to Nod-Krai as part of Varka's platoon.

The new Traveler's Tales story will arrive with Version 5.7, set to launch on June 18.
The new backstory surrounding Thoma and his mother could lend several hints about new content coming with Genshin Impact's next region. Varka's squad within the Knights of Favonius has been teased as one of the major factions involved with the story of the Nod-Krai region, launching with Version 6.0 later this summer. HoYoverse has already teased several other major groups involved with Nod-Krai's story, including the Hexenzirkel, Fatui, and the Treasure Hoarders among others.
Alongside Thoma's new story content, Version 5.7 is expected to bring plenty to Genshin Impact as the game winds down its Natlan cycle. HoYoverse has already confirmed two new characters launching during the RPG's next update, adding Skirk as a new five-star character and Dahlia as a four-star unit. Genshin Impact is also heavily rumored to be adding a new endgame game mode, with recent leaks teasing "Tumult Subduer" as a new combat-based challenge requiring 3 different teams. Between new characters, new story content, and the next region, Genshin Impact has lots in store for fans soon.
