## Genshin Impact Leaks Reveal Upcoming 5-Star Character and Free Weapon
Genshin Impact’s Version 5.3 has already introduced new characters Mavuika and Citlali, and the upcoming Lantern Rite Festival will bring a new four-star, Lan Yan. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Recent leaks offer a glimpse into the future of the game, revealing details about several upcoming characters and a free weapon.
A credible Genshin Impact leaker, DK2, has revealed information about four upcoming five-star characters teased at the end of the Version 5.3 Special Program livestream. According to the leak, these characters will be released across Versions 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7, appearing in that order.
The most immediate reveal pertains to Version 5.4. The silhouette shown in the livestream, believed to be the second character from the left, strongly matches the design of Mizuki, a five-star character currently in the 5.4 beta. The absence of other five-star characters in the beta suggests Mizuki will be the sole new five-star addition for this update.
Mizuki is described as an Anemo catalyst user from Inazuma, potentially hinting at a storyline return to this popular region. This aligns with HoYoverse’s pattern of revisiting previously released nations four to five updates after a new region’s introduction. Further leaks suggest Mizuki will be a support character focusing on Elemental Mastery, synergizing well with the recently released Pyro Archon, Mavuika. Assuming she appears in the first banner phase of Version 5.4, players can anticipate her arrival around mid-February.
Furthermore, a separate leak points towards a free four-star polearm becoming available during the Weapon Event in Version 5.4.
This influx of new content promises to keep Genshin Impact players engaged for months to come, with a compelling mix of new characters, storylines, and free rewards on the horizon.
