Leakers have surprised the Genshin Impact community in recent days by promoting a series of leaks on version 5.8, scheduled for July 30. The unofficial information points to the arrival of a new five-star character from the Electro element, an unprecedented subregion on the map, as well as exclusive skins for popular characters.
Among the leaked details, we highlight the possible function of the new character as a support focused on electro-loaded reactions, Bennett's return as protagonist of a new event and the expansion to a zone called Mare Jivari. Leakers recognized as HXG, Kokomi and Seele have released the content and have already hit previous predictions.
Leaks indicate new electro support focused on reactions and mysterious origin
According to Leakers, version 5.8 will bring a new female character from the Electro element. It will be a support unit focused on electro-loaded reactions, which suggests strong synergy with Hydro characters. Sources compared the character's style of play to Nilou, but claim that it does not have the limitations that restrict team composition.
The name of the character has not yet been officially confirmed. However, the translated leaks of the Chinese indicate that it can be called Yennefer or Ineva. According to HXG, its origin would be linked to a region called Nod-Krai, hitherto unknown within Teyvat's official universe. This information, although not verified, has generated speculation about a future playable nation.
HoyOvers must introduce the character to the public at the June 23 drip marketing and will follow the pattern of previous disclosures. With this, players should officially know their look and function before the beginning of the new version closed.
New area Mare Jivari can mark narrative expansion and extreme challenge
Another relevant point of leaks is the introduction of a new area on the map. Version 5.8 should include the Mare Jivari sub-region, briefly mentioned in game dialogues as a place of trials and dangers. According to Leakers, this unprecedented space will bring new challenges and connections with Natlan's Lore, ending the region's arc with narrative depth.
Sources also mentioned a complementary area called the grave of the eternal moon. Rumors indicate that it will be directly related to the Lavawalker artifact set, known for its affinity with the Pyro element. This connection can deepen the themes of elemental conflict and origin of ancient artifacts.
The expansion of the map is seen as a transition to the end of the Natlan era, preparing the ground for the next nation to be explored. The leaks suggest that the update will bring not only playable content, but also important revelations for the game's plot.
Event with Bennett and New Skins reinforce bet on visual and thematic content
According to the leaks, Genshin Impact will also bring an event focused on Bennett, a character dear to his usefulness in several teams. He must assume central role in the main mission of the update, with rewards linked to his participation in the plot.
As part of the event, Bennett will receive a free new skin, which can be obtained by players during the promotional period. Already the character Yelan will also get an unprecedented skin, but this should be available only in the store by purchase with Genesis crystals.
The proposal to launch thematic skins aligned with the new map content reinforces the developer's strategy of renewing interest in known characters. The alternative look often attracts players who want to customize their teams, as well as increase the appeal of seasonal events.
