With the Natlan arc ending in Genshin Impact, players will soon enjoy filler versions before the new region becomes available. To reminisce about the Traveler's past journeys, version 5.6 won't only bring characters from Fontaine like Escoffier, Navia, and Wriothesley, but the main quest will also revolve around Mondstadt characters. This is likely a buildup for the future Nod-Krai area, especially when it comes to old friends like Jean, Kaeya, Albedo, and Venti, and future acquaintances like Varka.
Players who are excited to reunite with Mondstadt characters can jump in once the Genshin Impact 5.6 maintenance ends.
