According to leaks via DK2, version 5.1 will release Xilonen and Iansan. This info is vouched for by @hxg_diluc, one of the most trusted sources in the community, so the leak is likely credible.

Travelers might already be familiar with Iansan since she is the first character to be revealed from Natlan in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview. Iansan is an Electro character and is expected to be a 4-star DPS unit. She hails from the Collective of Plenty tribe of Natlan.

Meanwhile, Xilonen is from the Children of Echoes tribe and has the Geo vision. She is expected to be a 5-star unit. Based on leaks via Foul, she is expected to be an amazing support unit that even rivals Kazuha.

Foul is also one of the most reliable sources who has accurately leaked a lot of information in the past, so it is safe to say that leak about Xilonen is credible.
