Players can claim one 4-star skin for free in Genshin Impact 4.4, as per leaks

Several reliable leakers have recently stated that Travelers will be able to claim one 4-star character skin in the upcoming version 4.4 update. Luckily, another popular leaker, Mero, has hinted at the potential UI of the 4-star skin selector to further the leaks.

The UI features four old character skins and two Apple icons (leaker claims they are placeholders for Shenhe and Ganyu's rumored skins). It is also worth adding that the skin selector is expected to be a part of a bundle. However, it is currently unknown whether it will be obtainable as a reward in the Lantern Rite event or if it is a separate event.

In any case, here is a list of all the options expected to be available in the 4-star skin selector:

• Ayaka
• Jean
• Lisa
• Barbara
• Kaeya
• Klee
• Fischl
• Ningguang
• Keqing
• Ganyu
• Shenhe

All the character outfits in Genshin Impact, excluding Diluc's, are 4-star items, so all of them are likely to be available as options in the skin selector. This includes the new skins for Ganyu and Shenhe, which will be released in version 4.4.

Note that if Travelers already own a skin, then they won't be able to obtain another copy of the same item and must choose another skin.
