Days before the release of update 4.8, Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse dropped a massive preview trailer for Natlan, update 5.0, and the patches to come in the new region, revealing an initial cast of nine seemingly playable characters that also appears to include the Pyro Archon herself.
Obviously, we’ll only get to play a few of these nine characters in Update 5.0 – likely a mix of one or two premier five-stars, rate-up four-stars, and at least one free four-star, judging from previous updates. We can safely expect the Pyro Archon to debut in update 5.2, as Genshin has taken to releasing Archons in the third patch of each new region.
Genshin Impact update 5.0 is expected to launch on August 27, six weeks after the start of update 4.8. A full showcase of Natlan should come in the next version preview livestream. We also gota one-minute look at the tropical region at the end of the 4.8 preview.
New Genshin Impact character Emilie was previously revealed for update 4.8 – the first Dendro character to come to the RPG in over a year.
