Long-forgotten leaked characters for Lan Yan in Genshin Impact 5.3.

Now, however, with the majority of the Natlan roster having been released or up for release in Version 5.3, HoYoverse has started teasing the characters that players may meet in future updates. The developer has made this practice a habit in other games. The Amphoreus characters in Honkai: Star Rail, for example, were all teased before the arrival of the patch that introduces the destination, and long before many of the leaks. Now, despite several leaks about these Genshin Impact characters, HoYoverse has seemingly brought its attention back to them.

Seven Genshin Impact Characters Were Teased

Among Them Are The Silhouettes Of Iansan & Skirk

Seven silhouettes of Genshin Impact characters.

As shown during the Version 5.3 livestream, which was broadcast on the official Iansan in Genshin Impact. This guess is possible thanks to the skull-shaped adornment on her head. Next to her is a character that seems to have elegant clothing and cat-shaped ears, which resembles the description from Dahlia’s leaks.

Next to them is a tall male figure with a hat, which rumors spread on a prison girl in Genshin Impact.

Character Teasers Bode Good News For Genshin Impact Players

The Information Shows That Leaked Characters Have Not Been Forgotten

Aside from the announcement itself, the teaser is good news for players. This is because it confirms that characters leaked for the game are still on HoYoverse’s radar. Both Dahlia and the prison girl were leaked as Fontaine characters well over a year ago and they never got teased or released as NPCs. While the developers have yet to confirm it is them, their silhouettes match the leaked descriptions and sketches from last year. This sheds hope for future character leaks in Genshin Impact.

The Spiral Abyss may see a buff to player damage in Genshin Impact 5.4, but that may come accompanied by a troubling update to enemies.

Furthermore, the presence of who seems like Skirk in the image is also good news, as it shows that even an almighty character like her, who has not yet been confirmed to have a Vision, may become playable within the game’s current structure. While Natlan-related content is coming to an elongated pause after Version 5.3, the game still has a lot to cover in the build-up toward the release of Snezhnaya in Version 6.0. As the game progresses and its lore becomes ever more serious, Genshin Impact’s characters are bound to follow, and Skirk is the perfect example of that.
