Oh boy, do we have a lot of Genshin leaks to go over? It’s always the most hype and speculative around a “cycle’s” end, as in – near the approach of a new “numbered” patch, which in this case is 5.0, and the arrival of the new fire-based nation, Natlan. You better get ready by buying Genesis Crystals for all the upcoming content! A couple of Genshin Impact leaks we’ll cover in this article:
- Mounts for Natlan
- Genshin Sigewinne playable – The Melusine with the body of a human, and head nurse of The Fortress of Meropide’s infirmary: Will Genshin Impact Sigewinne be playable?
- Genshin Clorinde – Dubbed “The Strongest Champion Duelist” in Fontaine, she is going to be an Electro carry unit. She was Furinas bodyguard and she has some kind of relationship with Navia
- Sethos – Sethos is most likely going to be a new 4* Electro unit from the Sumeru region.
- Genshin Impact’s New Potential End-Game
- Some INSANE Quality Life Changes coming in future patches
- And more
Genshin Impact Natlan and Mounts
Let’s start with Natlan and a potential new mount system.
Previously, Natlan has been leaked and rumoured to be MASSIVE. Much more than any area that came before. This led to some speculation surrounding a mounting system. This would make sense because many other games similar to Genshin that are competitors in the genre either have or will have mounts – Wuthering Waves, Tower of Fantasy, etc.
Not only that, but some leakers have seemingly confirmed that some kind of faster map exploration will be available in the 5.0 Genshin Update.
Genshin Clorinde, Sigewinne, Sethos
Anyone who has been playing Genshin Impact or other Hoyoverse games for a while will know that any character that doesn’t have a generic model is going to become playable sometime in the future. Either that, or will end up like La Signora as a boss. We’ve seen this time and again, especially with some older characters like Baizhu who has only recently become a playable 5*.
Thus, it only stood to reason that both Sigewinne and Genshin Clorinde will eventually be playable, the question was when. It’s a bit strange that both of them will come after Arlecchino, but they will most likely close out the unique-modeled characters from Fontaine to come out during the 4.0-5.0 patch cycle. Some Sigewinne Genshin leaks indicate she’s going to be a healer… which would make absolute sense, considering she is the Head Nurse of the Fortress in Fontaine. The Genshin Impact news of Clorinde and Sigewinne Genshin’s release date has spread like wildfire, and many players are excitedly awaiting these two characters!
Sethos is going to be a part of Cyno’s story quest, which seems like it’s going to be an absolute banger and will show us more about his powers, how he got them, and the story of the General Mahamtras of the past. He’s a 4* that might be coming before the two Fontaine characters, based on the newest Genshin Impact Livestream trailers. He is voiced by Zeno Robinson for the EN version and CHIBA Shoya for the JPN. Zeno has voiced Fogado from Fire Emblem: Engage, among other characters.
As to what their kits are going to be – we have some knowledge and speculation, seeing as we already know what their visions are: Clorinde: Electro, Sigewinne: Hydro, Sethos: Electro.
If you don’t think you’ll have enough Primogems to pull for all these characters, you can always buy a Genshin Impact account for cheap that already has a lot (Upwards of 200+ pulls) primogems!
Genshin Impact’s New Abyss
Ah yes, the much-awaited and wanted new end-game. It has become a meme at this point, but we can’t help but hold out hope for it. Namely, these new leaks seem to suggest that it’s going to be either an addition to the currently existing Spiral Abyss or that it’s going to replace it entirely. Not much is known beyond that.
Is Hoyoverse doing this out of fear because of the upcoming Wuthering Waves? Or because of the fact that Honkai: Star Rail has shown them that you CAN have a robust and difficult end-game while also maintaining a casual audience that’s there just for the story and the characters?
Either way, we seem to be in luck because, in Genshin Impact 4.7, it looks like we’re FINALLY getting a legitimate end-game system that probably won’t be as easy as the current Spiral Abyss is – and if you don’t think Spiral Abyss is easy, you can clear it with two teams of four-star units equipped with only four-star weapons and some relatively decent artifacts.
The only thing we know about the New Spiral Abyss is that it’s going to be one room per floor, as opposed to the current 3 (or 6, depending on how you look at it), and that it will have a unique new spin on each floor. The leaker has stated that “Some will love it, some will hate it” but this can be taken as a kind of blanket statement for anything Hoyoverse does with the game. Remember when they announced the Genius Invokation TCG?
Quality of Life Changes
Have you been annoyed at how difficult some chests are to find in overworld exploration? Did you quit during Sumeru because of the story and/or the infuriating difficulty levels of exploring its jungles and the desert, with many different layers of above and below-ground floors and puzzles? Do you think that Genshin’s in-game map should show you exactly where the chests are since the prizes are relatively small compared to something like Honkai: Star Rail whose chests are much easier to find? Do you think that crafting furniture/room sets in the Serenitea Pot is not worth the trouble?
Well, you’re in luck – because ALL of these things seem to have been addressed in recent Genshin news through a Developer Livestream/Interview.
This isn’t a leak as much as the other info so far has been since it’s been confirmed by the devs themselves on 4/10, but it’s still important to mention.
Treasure Compass
The Treasure Compass for each respective area will now show exactly where the chest is located on the minimap, with the “elevation” indicator as well, depending on if it is above, below, or on your level.
This also means the death of the “Bright Flash” that leads players across the map in pursuit of the chests that the compass finds, which leads to some heated discussions on which mechanic was better.
Serenitea Pot Furniture Set Improvements
There will be a function for Furniture Sets that lets you buy all the pieces that you’re missing without having to manually search for them. This is going to be a godsend for all the players who were too distracted by other things and didn’t feel like crafting each piece required for a set was worth it.
Quest Tracking Improvements
Another relatively big improvement will be the quest tracking and how it will show you what the corresponding quest items are needed (if needed) for completion in the quest UI. Not only that, but players will get a new option to toggle “Focused Mode” for newer quests that will allow you to smoothly progress without some of the more intrusive mechanics such as having characters be engaged in other quests, thus preventing your progress.
Conclusion
Genshin Impact 4.6, which is going to drop soon and Genshin Impact 4.7 versions are going to be amazing, leading up to the Genshin 5.0 Update which will feature a new region, new mechanics, and hopefully a mount system! This Genshin Impact news indicates that the 4.6 Genshin update will address a lot of QoL issues players had with the game, while the 4.7 Version will add the much sought-after new end-game content that will please the hardcore player base.
As always, check out the Genshin shop for a lot of items, boosts, and other services that will make your Genshin Impact experience much better!
