Genshin Impact 5.0: Leaks and everything we know

Genshin Impact leaks have surfaced, revealing more about the highly anticipated version 5.0 update. Here's everything that's leaked so far about the upcoming update.

Genshin Impact version 5.0 will feature a brand new region called Natlan. This will be the sixth major region of the game, with the journey through the nations of Tevyat slowly coming to an end. A new region brings new adventures, secrets, stories, characters and more.

It will be some time before version 5.0 is officially released, as versions 4.7 and 4.8 are coming before it. However, leakers have started providing plenty of information about what fans should expect in the coming days.

Here's what you need to know about it so far.

Does Genshin Impact version 5.0 have a release date?

No, Genshin Impact version 5.0 does not have an official release date yet. However, based on the 6-week schedule that HoYoverse follows, players can expect the release around the end of July or early August.

Genshin Impact version 5.0 has been leaked so far

There have been some leaks about Genshin Impact version 5.0. Here's what we know so far about the upcoming update:

Character levels

According to leaks from FoulGenshin Impact will increase its character level cap to 100 in version 5.0. The current level cap is 90, but this will be increased very soon. This leads to many questions, the biggest question being the difficulty of the game.

As characters are raised to level 100, enemies can be raised to level 110 or more to balance the balance. Additionally, resin poses a big problem as 160 is far too low even in its current state. As character levels increase to 100, HoYoverse will need to increase the Reisin cap to make farming easier.

Map and exploration

Natlan's map will be similar to the map of Sumeru in version 3.1. This means you can expect it to be a large area with a lot of exploration potential.

Additionally, the game will feature brand new “Quick exploration' Mechanics in version 5.0. These new mechanics will be powered by Hydro and Cryo characters, which will become more prominent following Natlan's release.

Artifact leaks

Genshin Impact version 5.0 will introduce a new artifact set that will help with the quick exploration mechanic. Additionally, the Artifact Vault Box includes Deepwood Memories, Gilded Dreams, Desert Pavilion Chronicles, and Flower of Paradise Lost for quick farming.
