HoYoverse has announced that Genshin Impact version 5.0, entitled “Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn,” is launching on August 28, 2024.

The update will allow players to reach the sixth major nation of Teyvat and ally with the warriors of the region, including Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani, as well as the Saurians of Natlan.

The path to Natlan will become accessible through an unlocked Teleport Waypoint, available to players who have completed the Prologue of the Archon Quest in Mondstadt, including beginners and intermediates. Natlan, known as the Nation of Pyro, is situated west of the Sumeru desert and is home to six main tribes. In Genshin Impact Version 5.0, players can explore three of these tribes and encounter three types of Saurians living alongside the locals.

Natlan, also called the Nation of War, celebrates its warriors at the Stadium of the Sacred Flame, where each tribe’s Champion is chosen through a tournament. The main story unfolds here as the player, along with local warriors Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani, travels to the Stadium. To begin Natlan’s Archon Quest, players must reach Adventure Rank 28 or higher and have completed all of Liyue’s Archon Quests.

Kachina, the four-star Geo polearm wielder from the Children of Echoes, is able to summon Turbo Twirly and ride on it to scale walls and cliffs, and also pound the ground to deal AOE DMG. She can be recruited for free by completing Act I of Natlan’s Archon Quest.

Kinich, renowned for his hunting skills in the Scions of the Canopy, is a five-star Dendro warrior equipped with a claymore who wields the grappling hook to perfection, so as to swing and easily reach heights, or to link to enemies and perform powerful Loop Shots. His special companion, Ajaw, can also join the fray, unleashing his dragon breath against foes.

Mualani, the watersports shop owner from People of the Springs, is a Hydro five-star catalyst wielder who can mount her reliable Sharky Surfboard and move at full speed on the water surface, liquid Phlogiston, and even on dry land. In combat, when Mualani is moving on her Sharky Surfboard and hits an enemy, she applies a mark and administers Sharky’s Bite, which inflicts more damage after several hits.

In Genshin Impact’s Version 5.0 Event Wishes, Mualani and Kachina will debut in the first phase along with Kaedehara Kazuha’s rerun, and Kinich’s debut will come with the Raiden Shogun in the second half.

As the fourth anniversary of Genshin Impact approaches, rewards and bonuses will be offered to celebrate this event with fans and players during Version 5.0. The special daily login event returns with up to Intertwined Fate ×10 for players to claim, and players can check their in-game mail to receive Primogems ×1,600, two exclusive gadgets “Firstborn Firesprite” and “Kaboom Box,” as well as more bonuses.

Genshin Impact version 5.0 is launching on August 28, 2024.
