The future Natlan region of Genshin Impact has been leaked multiple times. With the 5.0 update, players will receive progressively more glimpses of the new territory that will launch in August. The Pyro Archon's distinct dual forms, the prospective map layout, and newly revealed character skins are all covered in the most recent leaks.
Possible Natlan Map Structure Revealed
The sources indicate that the map of Natlan will have a lot of verticality, with its people dwelling atop a huge, towering mountain. The vertical layout of this area contrasts with the horizontal layouts of other areas, implying that players will explore several levels of this mountain. Furthermore, it's said that a brand-new gameplay element employing volcanic steam cannons would allow for long-distance transit around Natlan, giving the game a more dynamic mode of transportation.
Partial Forms of Pyro Archon
Regarding the Pyro Archon, one of the most intriguing parts of the Natlan disclosures is the supposed two forms. Seele predicts that the Pyro Archon will exist in two forms: a juvenile and an adult.
Youthful Form: This form is a girl wearing a red and white dress, a golden mask, and blue-purple robin feathers on her head. This design suggests an element of the Archon that is more lively and whimsical.
Adult Form: Described as a refined lady with a low ponytail, flame-like pupils, a red-and-black headdress with red feathers, and hair that changes from red to gold at the ends. She's decked up in a scarlet cloak with golden edges, black gloves, leg rings, tall boots, and white tights. This shape is powerful and elegant, befitting an Archon.
Fresh Character Skins
Two character skins for Sucrose and Amber, which have been in production for a while but have not yet been made public, are also mentioned in the leaks. These skins give these characters a more unified look, supposedly inspired by Albedo's Knights of Favonius alchemical costume.
Legend and Upcoming Story Development
In addition to Natlan, the leaks shed light on Genshin Impact's larger story arc. It is anticipated that the plot would take players from Natlan to Snezhnaya, then to Khaenri'ah, where there will be a rebellion or struggle, and finally to Celestia. Notably, Venti's function as the Primordial One's guide is anticipated to be made clear during the Rebellion story arc, which will enhance both his persona and the game's overall lore.
Fresh Personas and Archon Missions
There are also rumors that two Catalyst users and a Claymore-wielding Natlan native will be among the new characters that appear. Among the rumored new arrivals are Xbalanque, who may be a Dragon Sovereign of Natlan, and Emilie, a Dendro 5-star character from Fontaine. Version 5.2 is most likely when the Pyro Archon, a 5-star Pyro Claymore character, makes his or her debut.
Play and Speculative Themes
Rebirth and redemption are said to be the Natlan region's central concept, which may have an impact on the Archon Quests' storyline. This twin form of the Pyro Archon, signifying regeneration and transformation, may also be explained by this thematic focus.
