It will bring the sixth Teyvat nation named Natlan, which is also known as the Nation of Pyro and is located on the left side of the Sumeru Desert. Apart from this, you will also be able to pull three new characters including Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani, who are the locals of Natlan.
The new Archon Quest will take place there and you will need to have Adventure Rank 28 or above and should have completed all of Liyue's Archon Quests in order to play it. Additionally, the first phase banner will feature Mualani and Kachina will debut in the first phase along with Kaedehara Kazuha's rerun. On the other hand, Kinich's debut will come with the Raiden Shogun in the second half.
HoYoverse will also celebrate Genshin Impact's fourth anniversary by offering players multiple rewards including 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.
Lastly, you will also be able to invite a 5-star character for free unlike a 4-star character offered in previous celebrations from the Standard Wish lineup to your team. You can check out the full Genshin Impact 5.0 livestream below:
