Seven new characters to be introduced in the upcoming Genshin Impact versions

Among these seven characters, some are already well-known to the playerbase, while others are still shrouded in mystery. While only the silhouettes of the characters have been revealed, discerning their identities is pretty easy.

1) Iansan

The first character is most likely Iansan, as recognizable from her silhouette. She has already been introduced in-game and has played quite a significant part in the Natlan Archon Quest so far. She will likely be one of the characters released sometime shortly after the Genshin Impact 5.3 patch.

2) Dahlia

The second character is most likely Dahlia, who had been rumored as playable for a long time. Leaks about Dahlia surfaced back in 2023, and his leaked concept art and design look similar to the officially revealed silhouette. However, there might still be some changes to his model/design before he is finally released in the game.

3) Ifa

The third character is most likely Ifa, who can easily be identified by his hat and his pet Saurian. Ifa is a Saurian vet belonging to the Flower-Feather clan. A drawing of Ifa officially exists in-game, wearing the same hat and carrying the same Saurian pet. Previously, leaks about Ifa had hinted at his rarity, although it remains to be seen if the leaks will turn out to be true.

4) Skirk

The fourth character looks like Skirk, who has also made an official appearance in the game. Her design was revealed when she appeared in the Genshin Impact Fontaine Archon Quest, making her very recognizable in this lineup.

Recent leaks about Skirk have speculated on her element and release version, leading to discussions amongst the community about this much-hyped character.

Varesa has already been mentioned in game (Image via HoYoverse)

Among the other three characters, one of them is likely to be Varesa, who has been mentioned in the game. Varesa is a member of the Collective of Plenty tribe, to which Iansan also belongs. During the 5.1 Natlan Archon Quest, it was Varesa who protected the tribe and helped them get to safety. Leaks about Varesa have also surfaced since, which hint at her being a 5-Star Electro character.

The two other characters in this list are as of yet unknown, with not much information available about them apart from a few questionable leaks. One such leak mentions a character named Mizuki, who hails from Inazuma.

Players have been speculating that she might be the character next to Skirk. The final figure in this lineup is a complete mystery, and players will have to wait for more information about them.
