Summary
Characters fromGenshin Impactwill change forever with a rumored new Natlan update mentioned in Version 5.0 leaks. The action RPG by HoYoverse is about to enter Version 4.8, a patch that will see the debut of Emilie as a playable character. However, attention is shifting toward the following update, Version 5.0, which is expected to occur in late August and, with it, bringNatlan’s release inGenshin Impact, along with its new roster of characters, gameplay mechanics, and more. So far, there have been a few Natlan leaks, and a new one suggests that characters will change forever.
As seen in the information provided by Seele Leaks, which was then shared in a post tagged as “Sus” onReddit,standard character animations will differ after Version 5.0. An example stated by the leaker highlights that characters with the same body model that normally have the same type of animations, like the running animation for all short female characters in the game, should start having updated animations rather than sticking to the same type of animation kit that has been present since the release ofGenshin Impactback in 2020.
Genshin Impact 4.8 - Release Date, New Characters, Banners, Events
Details about Version 4.8 have been revealed, including its release date, new characters, and banner structure as Genshin Impact prepares for Natlan.
Updated Character Animations May Arrive In Genshin Impact 5.0
Older Characters Will Retain Their Standard Animations
According to the leak, new characters after Version 5.0 will have these updated animations depending on their body-type model. Based on the wording used in the leak, specific character groups will all share the same types of animations. For instance,all the new short female characters released after Version 5.0 will have an updated running animation. The leaker highlights that older characters will not have their animation sets updated. Consequently, this means characters like Klee, Sayu, and Sigewinne inGenshin Impactwill not have their animations updated.
“Natlan may also introduce mounts.”
The leaker only used short female running animations as an example, so there is a chance that the animation update will affect all types of characters, regardless of their character model’s type. For now,it is unsure if the rumored new animation update will affect other types of animations, too, such as standard attack moves, climbing animations, and more. Although the rumored changes do not affect older characters, they do sound promising. The prospect of a new batch of animations can help giveGenshin Impactmore variety and a feeling of fresh new gameplay possibilities, even if the changes are minimal.
As was mentioned by the leaker,this information is highly subject to change and should be taken with a grain of salt. Furthermore, the information may be incorrect altogether or even postponed to a patch beyond Version 5.0, for instance. Regardless, this is just a minor example of how Natlan promises to revolutionize the game. There has already been confirmation that there will bemounts inGenshin Impactwith the arrival of Version 5.0’s characters, and some of the potential mounts were even showcased by HoYoverse.
