Genshin Impact Version 5.0: New Character Leaks Reveal Weapon Types and Elements
Version 5.0 of Genshin Impact is on the horizon, bringing with it a new region, Natlan, and a trio of exciting new characters. Recent leaks, originating from a reputable source within the Genshin Impact community, have shed light on these characters' weapon types, rarities, and elemental affinities. While details regarding Natlan remain scarce, these leaks offer a valuable glimpse into what awaits players.
The leaked information suggests Version 5.0 will introduce:
- A 5-Star male Dendro Claymore user.
- A 5-Star female Hydro Catalyst user.
- A 4-Star female Geo Polearm user.
This corroborates earlier speculation predicting Natlan's initial updates would feature two 5-Star Catalyst users and a single 5-Star Claymore user.
Analyzing the Leaks
The addition of a 5-Star Dendro Claymore user is a welcome surprise, given the current lack of such characters. The inclusion of another 5-Star Hydro Catalyst user, however, is less groundbreaking, considering the existing roster. The 4-Star Geo Polearm character could potentially be Iansan, previously teased, but many believe Iansan will instead be one of the anticipated 5-Star Catalyst users, possibly debuting in Version 5.1.
Further Leaks and Speculation
Separate leaks point to only one 5-Star character release in each of Versions 5.1 and 5.2, though specifics remain undisclosed. Natlan is anticipated to enhance the capabilities of certain Cryo and Hydro characters, including Shenhe, Ayato, and potentially Emilie from Version 4.8.
Version 5.0 is projected to launch in late August 2024. Official previews of Natlan and its inhabitants are expected shortly.
