Overview of Upcoming Genshin Impact Characters
- Between Version 5.4 and Version 5.7, a total of seven new characters will make their debut.
- One of these characters is anticipated to play a significant role in the overarching game narrative.
- In Version 5.3, players will be introduced to Citlali, Mavuika, and Lan Yan.
In the recent developer livestream, the team behind Genshin Impact provided hints about forthcoming characters expected throughout 2025. As players gear up for Version 5.3, HoYoverse has shared an enticing preview of what lies ahead in the Natlan storyline. While Citlali, Mavuika, and Lan Yan will officially join the roster in Version 5.3, there are still significant story arcs to explore before Snezhnaya welcomes players in September 2025.
The upcoming narrative will unfold in two major chapters. The first will highlight the Collective of Plenty, featuring new characters such as Varesa and Iansan. The subsequent chapter will delve into the semi-autonomous region of Nod-Krai, which serves as a bridge connecting various nations of Teyvat to Snezhnaya. Although the game’s coding reveals a list of upcoming characters, it’s important to note that this information remains incomplete and speculative.

Notably, the absence of male 5-star characters for the remainder of Natlan suggests that Dahlia is indeed a 4-star character. His initial leak during the Fontaine saga portrayed him as the deacon of the Church of Favonius, leading to speculation that he might be Mondstadt’s inaugural Dendro character. Conversely, Ifa has been highlighted as a significant figure in Natlan, closely associated with Ororon and serving as a veterinarian within the Flower-Feather Clan. Varesa, on the other hand, is hinted at through mention on notice boards in Natlan, and Mizuki reportedly connects with the People of the Springs.
This recent teaser also sheds light on the status of Capitano in Genshin Impact, indicating that he will not be a playable character during the Natlan chapter. Instead, the unidentified character slated for Version 5.6 appears to be a previously leaked figure from Fontaine, possibly tied to the enigmatic Fortress of Meropide. While there are speculations about Capitano’s potential inclusion as a playable character in Snezhnaya, players will need to wait until September 2025 for further revelations.
