Genshin Impact's main leakers released this week a new wave of information about version 5.8. The main news involves the Mare Jivari area, a mysterious region of Teyvat, as well as the possible debut of a new boss named Bakunawa. The community also speculates on new exploration mechanics and summer events in Natlan.

- Leak exhibits details of versions 6.0 to 6.4 of Genshin Impact
Despite the absence of official HoyOversse confirmation, leakers point out that Genshin Impact 5.8 will include Mare Jivari as a special domain with unpublished content.

What is Mare Jivari and why its arrival gets the players of Genshin Impact
Mare Jivari is an area wrapped in mystery in the universe of Genshin Impact. Mare Jivari draws the attention of players since they appeared in the first missions, like Venti's. Since then, curiosity around the region has only increased. According to the Lore of Genshin Impact, an millennial catastrophe turned the site into a desert 500 years ago, when Sanhaj summoned a miniature night kingdom. Mare Jivari's arrival at version 5.8 will mark the first time players will be able to explore it directly, albeit in a limited way.

Mare Jivari must appear as a special domain in Genshin Impact 5.8
According to the latest leaks, HoyOversse should introduce Mare Jivari into Genshin Impact 5.8 as a temporary domain, not as a complete region on the map. In this way, players will be able to explore part of the environment and local history, as did in previous seasonal areas of the game.
Leaks indicate summer event in Natlan with exclusive map
In addition to Mare Jivari, Genshin Impact 5.8 can also include a new summer map located in the Natlan region. The content would be part of a temporary thematic event, with unprecedented exploration mechanics. There are still not many details on how these mechanics will work, but leakers point out that the map will bring exclusive interactions with the environment, expanding the seasonal experience of players.
Bakunawa: The new exclusive chief of Genshin Impact 5.8?
Another highlight of the leaks is Bakunawa, a legendary creature that should be introduced into Genshin Impact 5.8 as an event chief. Apparently the combat will happen within Mare Jivari's domain and will involve special mechanics. In addition, players speculate that Bakunawa is the same as that Albedo mentioned during the Paralogismo Archon Quest mission. Explorers also reported, in old records, to have seen a gigantic and dark creature wandering around the region.
Exclusive tutorials and new Bakunawa combat mechanics
According to the leaked information, the fight against Bakunawa will be accompanied by interactive tutorials, which indicates differentiated mechanics. This format has already been used in clashes with complex heads in previous versions of Genshin Impact, such as APEP and Scaramouche. Focus on unique combat and specific narratives reinforces the immersion pattern that HoyOversse has been adopting in recent updates.

When should HOYOVERSE confirm Genshin Impact 5.8 leaks?
So far, HoyOvers has not confirmed any of the content listed. Genshin Impact's official announcement is expected to take place in the coming weeks during the special preview transmission of the version. Even without confirmation, the recurrence and detail of leaks increase the credibility of the information released by the Dataminers community.
