Highlights

  • The region of Natlan in Genshin Impact might might have a short update schedule.
  • Potential introduction of the region Snezhnaya in Version 6.0.
  • Speculative nature of the leak regarding future updates past Version x.7.

In Genshin Impact, the upcoming region Natlan, dedicated to the Pyro Archon, might not receive as many updates as initially expected, according to a recent leak. The game may move on to the next region sooner than anticipated.

Natlan, a region said to lie beyond Sumeru’s desert, is described as being rich in natural hot springs and inhabited by tribal people and dragons known as Saurians.

While Travelers will explore this land when Natlan is released in Version 5.0, expected in late August, it seems their focus will soon shift to another region as the game’s update schedule progresses.

This information comes from leaker Jokerverse, shared on the Genshin Impact leaks subreddit. According to the leak, Natlan’s updates might only extend to Version 5.7.

Typically, Genshin Impact receives updates up to Version x.8 each year, so if the content for next year ends at Version 5.7, we could see Version 6.0 soon after, potentially introducing the region of Snezhnaya.

While it's exciting that Snezhnaya might be just around the corner, and we could explore it as early as July next year, it’s also interesting to see how HoYoverse is planning the release of its upcoming regions.

It should be noted that this is speculative information and is subject to change.

In the Reddit comments discussing this leak, many players recalled previous leaks suggesting that Fontaine would only receive updates until Version 4.6.

However, that proved inaccurate, as we are currently on Version 4.8, titled Summertide Scales and Tales, released on July 17, 2024.

It’s possible that the developers of Genshin Impact have simply not yet added information about Version 5.8, which is almost a year away if it’s in the pipeline.

For now, players can look forward to checking out Genshin Impact Version 5.0, expected to be released later this month in August.

The Genshin Impact 5.0 live stream will take place on August 16, providing details about not only the release date but also the new content coming in the update.
