Durin may be released as a playable character in Genshin Impact, according to leaks

@hxg_diluc and Full Stop Chan are reliable leakers who have accurately predicted several character banners in the past. They recently shared a new bit of info, suggesting that Durin, the dragon that was slain by Dvalin in Dragonspine, may be introduced as a playable character in future updates.

The leakers suggest that in his playable form, Durin may use the short male character model, similar to Venti's.

For those unaware, Durin was a dragon artificially created by Rhinedottir, aka Gold, who is one of the Hexenzirkel. She also created Albedo. 500 years prior to the game's events during the Cataclysm, Durin attacked the city of Mondstadt, and Dvalin fought him. The latter defeated him and his corpse fell in Dragonspine's Wyrnrest Valley.

When to expect more information about Durin

Players should learn more about Durin in the upcoming Genshin Impact 5.6 update. According to another notable leaker, UTeyvat, the game's narrative may shift toward Mondstadt in the next update, where Travelers could experience new Mondstadt-related quests and challenge a new Weekly Boss.

Considering Durin is a part of the region's history, it would be the perfect time to shed more light on the dragon and his possible return.
