2) Archon Quests
Following the conclusion of the Fontaine arc in the popular action-adventure RPG, the narrative will shift toward Pyro nation. This means that the Natlan chapter of the Archon Quests will begin in the 5.0 update. It is likely the developers will provide a preview of it during the upcoming livestream.
3) Upcoming characters
The developers have already revealed via drip marketing that Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich will be the new characters debuting in this game's new update. Like previous instances, HoYoverse will use the livestream as an opportunity to showcase the new units' gameplay, building hype around them.
Furthermore, the livestream will also reveal the 5-star characters that will be featured on the rerun banner in v5.0.
4) New weapons
The game will introduce an array of weapons in the version 5.0 update, including signature weapons of 5-star characters and new craftable weapons. Leaks have indicated eight new weapons may be added alongside Natlan, and it's likely the developers will shed light on them during the livestream.
5) New artifacts
As is the case with any new region, HoYoverse will add two new artifact sets, along with Natlan's release. These artifacts will be tailored to the needs and gameplay mechanics of the upcoming characters.
Leaks have suggested the names of the new artifact sets could be:
- Obsidian Codex
- Jincheng Hero Scroll
6) Anniversary rewards
Genshin Impact will celebrate its fourth anniversary during the 5.0 update on September 28, 2024. While this isn't confirmed, it is likely the rewards for this special occasion will be revealed during the 5.0 livestream, based on past precedence.
7) Saurians
Saurians have been revealed to be dragon-like creatures native to Natlan. They live side by side with humans and assist them in various ways. Leaks have indicated that players will have the option to turn into these Saurians inside the Pyro nation to reap certain benefits.
While three types of these dragon-like creatures have already been revealed in a previous teaser, the livestream may provide more details about them.
8) Natlan tribes
Several credible leaks have suggested that each person in Natlan is part of one of six tribes. Each of the six tribes resides in different regions in the Pyro nation and is led by different tribal chiefs.
It is plausible the version 5.0 livestream may reveal information about the various native tribes.
9) Version events
Like older similar broadcasts, the Genshin Impact 5.0 livestream is expected to reveal the various events that will be part of the upcoming update. HoYoverse will likely give players a sneak peek at the new events and their rewards to build anticipation.

The latest leaks have revealed a lot of changes may occur in the Natlan update. It is speculated that players may be able to increase their World Level to 9 starting from the next update.
Moreover, many exciting QoL changes are expected to be introduced in version 5.0. It is likely the developers will cover them in brief during the livestream.
Honorable mention - Genshin Impact Anime
It has been quite a long time since players heard anything about the upcoming Genshin Impact anime being produced in collaboration with Ufotable. While it isn't very likely the developers will discuss this project during the 5.0 livestream, it isn't impossible.
The anime was first teased last year before the third-anniversary update went live. Since update 5.0 will celebrate the game's fourth anniversary, HoYoverse may use this opportunity to share details about the anime's development.
