Genshin Impact's version 5 has not even officially launched yet, but leaks already move the community. Among the unconfirmed information, Bennett's name has gained prominence. The character, known for his bad luck and charisma, can finally have his past revealed in a new mission set in Mare Jivari.
In addition, it can receive a skin inspired by the Natlan region. If confirmed, these changes may represent one of the largest narrative focuses ever given to Bennett since its introduction to the game.
Leaks indicate new thematic skin for Bennett
According to information released by Leakers such as Mero, Bennett should receive a new skin during version 5.8. The costume would have visual elements based on Natlan's culture, one of the seven regions of the Teyvat universe, still unpublished in the game. The colors, adornments and cutouts would make a direct reference to the local style, which mixes heat, expressiveness and tribal force.
However, this type of personalization is often reserved for special summer events, which may indicate that the update will have a thematic setting with temporary maps, as has happened in other patches. Players expect the new skin to come with an exclusive mission or challenges linked to the character.
Mare Jivari will be the scene of revelations about Bennett's origin
Another point raised by the leaks involves the possible appearance of the Mare Jivari region, an area hitherto surrounded by mystery. According to Leaker Kuroo, images of the new location reveal elements linked to the constellation of Bennett, Rota Calaminas, present in the sky of the place. This may indicate a direct connection between the character and the scenario.
In addition, information attributed to the Kazusa Leaks profile suggests that Bennett was born in Natlan, being the son of civilians from the region. The update, therefore, can be the first step in joining Natlan with the main plot, while deepening the construction of the character, something rare among the four stars.
Community speculates Bennett's central role in version 5.8
In forums and social networks, Genshin Impact fans already discuss what rumors can mean to the character. For years, Bennett has been treated as a prominent support, but with few appearances on main stories. The possible mission in Mare Jivari can change this scenario, bringing emotional development and explanations to its infamous tide of unlucky.
It is expected to not only participate in secondary events, but play a relevant role in the update narrative. If this happens, Bennett may finally stop being just a lucky unlucky to become a legitimate protagonist, with deeper identity, identity and motivations.
Livestream date and possible release of version 5.8
Also according to the standard of previous updates, the official transmission of version 5.8 is scheduled to take place on July 18, 2025, with the launch of the estimated patch for July 30. HoyOvers has not officially confirmed the news, but has already started marketing from unpublished characters such as Ineffa, which may be related to the same Bennett region.
Meanwhile, the community continues to keep an eye on each new track. If rumors are confirmed, version 5.8 can be one of the most important for players who have been following the game from the start.
