According to the leak, there will be three new playable characters coming to Genshin Impact from the Liyue region. These characters include Cloud Retainer, Madame Ping, and Guizhong. The leak confirms previous rumors about their addition to the game’s roster. Each of these characters is associated with the Adepti, which are powerful beings in the game’s lore.
Cloud Retainer has been hinted at in the game before, with teasers of her human form during the “Exquisite Night Chimes” event in Version 3.4. She plays a significant role in the annual Lantern Rite event. Madame Ping, on the other hand, is known as an old Adeptus who rewards players with the Serenitea Pot. This leak suggests she might appear in a younger form as a playable character. Guizhong has been referenced throughout the game’s story and events, and her debut as a playable character will mark her first in-game appearance outside of animated cutscenes.
Unfortunately, the leak does not provide a specific release window for these characters, so players will have to wait for official announcements from miHoYo, the developers of Genshin Impact, to know when they will be added to the game.
In addition to these Liyue characters, the leak also mentions other rumored characters from different regions, such as Grand Master Varka from Mondstadt’s Knights of Favonius and a mummy girl from Sumeru, among others. It seems that the game’s roster will see substantial growth in the coming patches, with Version 4.0 already confirmed to feature three new playable characters from the Fontaine region.
As with any leaks, it’s essential to approach this information with caution until officially confirmed by the developers to avoid potential misinformation.
