Genshin Impact 5.0 Natlan: Leaks, Characters, and Expected Release Date (2024)

Genshin Impact 5.0 is going to be the biggest update in the game’s history. Version 5.0 will feature the new region Natlan, and move the story of Genshin Impact toward the end game. There are a lot of expectations connected with Natlan’s release, new features, game mechanics, characters, and a lot of story expectations. Here I have pieced together every information on Natlan, including both leaks and official information, to help answer any question you may have on Genshin Impact’s Natlan update.

Genshin Impact Natlan Release Date (Speculated)

Genshin Impact 5.0 Natlan is speculated to release around August 27, 2024. This speculation has been made by keeping in mind the usual 6-week period of a version. So, the Genshin Impact 4.8 version is releasing on July 17, so it is expected to end on August 26, if everything happens as per the norm.

Also, we are speculating that the Genshin 5.0 version is going to come after the 4.8 version by following earlier trends, which have not been confirmed yet.

Genshin Impact Natlan Map, Travelling & Landscape

Natlan is going to be a bio-diverse area, so far showcasing volcanos, cliffs, rivers, grasslands, and forests in both the teasers. A recent leak reveals that the tribes of Natlan are not distributed horizontally, but vertically.

From everything we have seen so far in the teasers, the leak appears to be true with most of the land shown in a broken state with variable verticality. Also, the Natlan map in 5.0 is expected to be as big as the Sumeru map in version 3.1.

The leak also mentions Volcanic Steam cannons, which will be used to travel long-distance. Other than that, we also saw multiple showcases of characters traversing Natlan on Saurians or mounts. Now, whether the game will add actual mounts for all characters, or it would simply be Natlan character-specific abilities is yet to be revealed.

Genshin Impact Natlan Characters and Their Release Order

The characters are the core part of Genshin Impact, and all gacha games, so Genshin players are highly anticipating for the upcoming Natlan characters. From the recent teaser, we have officially learned about 10 new Natlan characters, and three of them will likely feature in the Genshin 5.0 banner — Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani.

Mualani is speculated to be a hydro character and catalyst user. Kinich is shown as a Claymore user in the recent teaser and is rumored to be a Dendro character.

A recent leak also reveals all the names of the upcoming characters and their release order, however, the leak is not very trustworthy so take it with a pinch of salt:

Genshin Impact Natlan Characters Leaked Release Order

Genshin Impact version 5.0 confirmed:

• Kachina: Geo, Polearm
• Kinich: Dendro Claymore
• Mualani: Hydro, Catalyst

Order of characters after 5.0:

• Xilonen: Geo, Sword
• Chasca: Cryo, Bow
• Olorun: Bow
• Mavuika (Pyro Archon): Pyro, Claymore or Polearm
• Citlali: Cryo, Catalyst

According to leaks, the Pyro Archon Mauvika will have two forms — Youthful and Adult.

• The Youthful form is described to be wearing a golden mask, with a red and white dress and blue-purple feathers mixed with white.
• The Adult form is described to be wearing a red and black hat with red feathers. She also has a decoration of stacked white feathers on the chest and wears a waist belt, white tights, black leg rings, black long boots, black and red gloves, and a red cloak with golden edges. The leak also mentions that she has flame pupils and red hair with a gold gradient around the ends of the ponytail.

Genshin Impact Story Leaks (Spoilers)

From the leaks, we also get a sneak peek at what to expect in the upcoming storyline from the Genshin Impact 5.0 version. However, these are spoilers so read them at your own peril.

According to Seele leaks, this is how the story progression is going to be from Natlan:

• Natlan > Snezhnaya > Rebellion > Celestia > Post Teyvat story

This basically means that Natlan’s chapters will set the Genshin Impact storyline into the endgame. Still, you can expect a couple of years at least for the game to complete the story.

Genshin Impact Natlan Enemies and Monsters

Genshin Impact teasers have so far revealed 7 new Saurians, which are the new monsters in Natlan, and three new humanoid enemy types. Some of the Saurians have been shown as mountable, either through character-specific abilities or in general game mechanics of Natlan.

The three new humanoid enemy types shown were pretty normal enemies, with one of them being a big grunt wielding a large saw (pizza cutter style) and one normal-sized male and female grunt wielding clubs. All three humanoid enemies wore spiked helmets and similar patterned costumes.

So, that’s it. This is everything we know so far about Natlan. We will constantly update this article with the latest information on Natlan, so make sure to bookmark it. Also, tell us any information or speculation you may have on Natlan in the comment section below.
