The release order of the upcoming Genshin Impact Natlan characters has been leaked. And it suggests some changes in the usual pattern that HoYoverse follows.
A new leak for Genshin Impact has given hints about the next set of characters that might be joining the game after the recent release of the Natlan region. As per the official reveal, first, we have Mualani, who made her debut as Natlan's very first five-star character. Then, there's Kinich, expected to arrive in the second half of the update. Also, a character named Kachina has been added as a free reward in the game’s Archon Quest.
But that’s not all, according to the latest leaks, there are even more characters from the Natlan region coming in the game soon. So, let’s take a look at these leaked upcoming Genshin Impact Natlan characters and their release order.
Who Are the New Genshin Impact Natlan Characters?
Several new characters from the Natlan region have already made their debut in the game’s main storyline. Players have met Mavuika, who is the long-rumored Pyro Archon, during a visit to the Stadium of the Sacred Flame. Other characters like Chasca and Iansan have also shown up early in the story. The game's developer, HoYoverse, has also teased characters such as Citlali, Xilonen, and Ororon in their official "Ignition" character trailer.
Now, a well-known leaker named Mero has shared new details about when these new Natlan characters might be coming. According to Mero, four new characters are set to be released in the upcoming updates for Natlan: Chasca, Ororon, Mavuika, and Citlali.
Release Order of the Upcoming Genshin Impact Natlan Characters
Based on Mero’s leak, here’s the expected release order for the new Natlan characters:
- Chasca – Expected in Version 5.2, Phase I (November 20, 2024)
- Ororon – Expected in Version 5.2, Phase II (December 10, 2024)
- Mavuika – Expected in Version 5.3
- Citlali – Likely after Mavuika in Version 5.3 or 5.4
If these leaks are correct, it looks like Genshin Impact is changing its usual pattern for releasing new characters. In the past, the Archon characters were generally released in the second update after a new region was launched. For example, Nahida (Dendro Archon) came out in Version 3.2, and Furina (Hydro Archon) was released in Version 4.2. But this time, things seem different. The Pyro Archon, Mavuika, might not arrive until Version 5.3, which would be much later than usual.
What We Know About the New Characters in Natlan?
Here’s a little bit more information about these upcoming characters:
- Chasca is an Anemo character from the Flower-Feather Clan who uses a Bow. She appeared during the Natlan Archon Quest, and it looks like her weapon in the game will indeed be a Bow when she becomes playable.
- Ororon is expected to arrive in the second phase of Version 5.2, but there isn’t much known about him yet. We’ll have to wait for more leaks or an official announcement to get more details.
- Mavuika, the Pyro Archon, uses a Claymore and will be an important addition to the game’s roster. She’s expected to come out in Version 5.3, likely aligning with the end of the main Natlan Archon Quest.
- Citlali might be released in the second half of Version 5.3 or in Version 5.4. Her exact release is still uncertain, but players are excited to see what she will bring to the game.
So, while these leaks sound exciting, remember they are still just rumors for now. The developers, HoYoverse, haven’t confirmed these details, so it’s good to take this with a grain of salt. But these leaks definitely give us an idea of what could be coming next, and fans are buzzing with excitement.
