HoYoverseGenshin Impact leaks have continued to surface, revealing more about the highly anticipated Version 5.0 update. Here’s everything that has been leaked about the upcoming update so far.
Genshin Impact Version 5.0 will feature a brand new area called Natlan. This will be the sixth major region of the game, slowly closing the journey across the nations of Tevyat. A new region brings new adventures, secrets, stories, characters, and more.
Version 5.0 is expected to come out in late August, but Genshin Impact has already revealed several characters ahead of its release date.

Genshin Impact Version 5.0 leaks so far
There have been quite a few leaks about Genshin Impact Version 5.0. Here is what we know so far about the upcoming update:
Character Levels
According to leaks from Foul, Genshin Impact will increase its character level cap to 100 in Version 5.0. The current level cap is 90, but that will be increased very soon. This leads to a lot of questions, with the biggest one being the difficulty of the game.
If characters are pushed to level 100, enemies may be pushed to 110 or more to balance things out. Additionally, Resin is a big problem, with 160 being way too low even in the current state. If character levels are being pushed to 100, HoYoverse should increase the Reisin cap to make farming easier.
Map and exploration
Natlan’s map will be similar to how it was for Sumeru during Version 3.1. This means you can expect it to be a large area with lots of exploration.
In Version 5.0, the game will also introduce brand-new ‘Quick Exploration’ mechanics. These new mechanics will be fueled by Hydro and Cryo characters, who will rise in prominence after the release of Natlan.
Artifact Leaks
Genshin Impact Version 5.0 will introduce a new Artifact set to help with the Quick Exploration mechanics. Apart from that, the Artifact strongbox will introduce Deepwood Memories, Gilded Dreams, Desert Pavilion Chronicles, and Flower of Paradise Lost for quick farming.
New characters
Genshin Impact has revealed several Natlan characters on X/Twitter ahead of Version 5.0’s release date. The characters to be introduced in the upcoming update include the Geo user Kachina, the Dendro user Kinich, and the Hydro unit Mualani.
