Genshin Impact may be about to expand in a surprising way with leaks detailing the character schedule for versions 6.0 to 6.4. The new region, Nod Krai, is expected to mark the next phase of the RPG with the arrival of highly anticipated figures. Unofficial information reveals kits, elements, and even connections to organizations already known in the storyline. HoYoverse has not yet officially commented on the leaked data.
Version 6.0 is rumored to debut in September 2025 and would bring with it not only a new territory but also characters that could redefine the current meta. Renowned leakers like Seele and Team Mew have released strategic details about future banners. The structure of the upcoming versions points to a bold plan from HoYoverse. The community has already begun to speculate about how these characters will impact gameplay.
What the leaks say about Genshin Impact version 6.0
Genshin Impact version 6.0 is expected to kick off the Nod Krai saga with three new, prominent characters. The first of these is said to be a male Electro character, focused on reactions like Electro-Charged. According to sources, he's expected to play the main DPS role, focusing on sustained field damage. While the official design hasn't yet surfaced, leaks link the character to the Snowland Fae organization.
In the second half of the release, attention turns to a female Geo character, also designed as a primary carry. Her kit would be geared toward Crystallization reactions, functioning as a defensive and offensive pillar in hybrid compositions. Additionally, the update would introduce a new four-star male character, associated with Golden Earth, with an offensive support role. Thus, the presence of three new additions reinforces the importance of the new phase.
Subsequent versions feature expected names and surprises
Version 6.1 is expected to feature a five-star female Pyro figure, speculated to be the leader of the Voynich organization. Preliminary information suggests she'll use a bow and a kit inspired by Escoffier, a character referenced in previous events. This character would play a central role in the Nod Krai storyline and could function as both a support and secondary DPS character.
In version 6.2, a new male Pyro character appears, focusing on Vaporize reactions. Leaker Seele claims he will have the main carry profile, dealing area damage and field control. The visual model has not yet been described, but it is expected to follow the more mature and refined aesthetic of the new region. Players also speculate that this character may be linked to past events in Sumeru.
Columbina and Varka stand out in updates 6.3 and 6.4
Version 6.3 is expected to be one of the most anticipated due to the potential arrival of Columbine. Touted as a Hydro unit with a catalyst and a significant impact on the meta, she was expected to be released in the first half of the version. According to leaks, Columbine should combine area control with high damage and team buffs, making her a strategic choice for compositions with Elemental Reactions.
In the second half of the same version, another female character enters the scene, this time from the Anemo element. Her role seems geared toward teams centered around Whirlwind and Flourish, which could boost alternative compositions. The character would have an imposing appearance and could bring a new tactical approach to secondary elemental reactions.
Varka may finally debut in Genshin Impact
Version 6.4 would bring the long-awaited Varka, a character mentioned since the beginning of Mondstadt's story. According to leaks, he would be a five-star Anemo unit with a greatsword. Varka is expected to take on the role of a versatile DPS, capable of combining brute force with light group support. Internally, he is described as the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, which reinforces his narrative relevance.
Varka's potential introduction raises debate about his impact on Anemo-based compositions. His presence could herald a new era for Swirl and Reactions teams with area expansion. The community's anticipation for him is high, especially among veterans who have been following the character's mentions since the early arcs.
