Summary
- A new Genshin Impact leak reveals new Natlan tribe titles with unique Saurian abilities for exploration.
- The Pyro Nation is coming soon, but other tribes may take months to encounter in-game.
- More tribes and Saurians are likely to feature in future patches though a live stream on August 16 will likely reveal new details.
A new Genshin Impact leak revealed important details about Natlan's tribe titles, their Saurians' abilities, and when players would meet them in-game. The Pyro Nation is only a few weeks away and while its new tribe system has already been teased, recent information reports that Genshin Impact players may have to wait a few more months to encounter all of them.
Previous Genshin Impact leaks about Natlan's Reputation System confirmed that the region would debut a new tribe system. It was also revealed that each tribe would have its own Reputation location for players to claim their weekly Bounty rewards. Other rumors pointed to each tribe having a leader and a signature element and Saurian. Genshin Impact has officially unveiled three species of Natlan's Saurians coming in its latest Version 5.0 trailers, with these being Dendro, Hydro, and Geo. However, new evidence suggests that more Saurians and tribes will feature in later patches.
A new leak by prominent Genshin Impact community member HomDGCat revealed there are a total of six tribes living in Natlan. Their elements are Dendro, Hydro, Geo, Pyro, Anemo, and an unknown one. According to the leak, the latter three should arrive in Version 5.1, while the rest are confirmed for the next patch. Each tribe has a representative title and their Saurians have different special abilities for exploration. Earlier leaks of Genshin Impact's Saurians detailed that these dragon creatures cannot explore different tribe territories other than their own, so this leaked content could potentially hint at future map expansions.
Genshin Impact Leaks Natlan's Tribes' Names and Saurians
-
Geo Tribe - Children of Echoes
- Saurian: Tepetlisaurus. They can move underground and climb rock faces.
- Known members: Kachina and Xilonen.
-
Hydro Tribe - People of the Springs
- Saurian: Koholasurus. They swim in the water and in an unknown substance described as "liquid phlogiston."
- Known members: Mualani.
-
Dendro Tribe - Scions of the Canopy
- Saurian: Yumkasaurus. They move around using a grappling hook.
- Known members: Kinich.
-
Pyro Tribe - Flower-Feather Clan
- Saurian: Qucusaurus. They are reported as great flyers.
- Members of both Pyro and Dendro tribes enjoy high places.
-
Anemo Tribe - Masters of the Night-Wind
- Saurian: Iktomisaurus. They are light and can fly very high.
- Anemo tribe members like to record stories of the past.
-
Unknown Element Tribe - Collective of Plenty
- Saurian: Tatankasaurus.
- This tribe is located near a volcano and its fertile soil produces most of Natlan's fruits and vegetables. The warriors of the Collective of Plenty are valiant and are rumored to have bodies of steel.
It is unclear why there are no Electro or Cryo tribes, but the reasons for this decision may be uncovered once Genshin Impact's 5.0 update officially drops in late August. The leak also shares that Xilonen, a confirmed Natlan Geo character, is a member of the same tribe as Kachina, which suggests that other future characters may have a Vision related to their tribe. Another interesting detail is the mention of a "liquid phlogiston" substance that Hydro Saurians can explore. This peculiar material may be the lava-like one that players saw in the official Saurians trailer from a few months ago.
HoYoverse has confirmed a special Genshin Impact Version 5.0 livestream that will present many exciting features arriving in the patch, including six additional Natlan residents. The event is scheduled for August 16 and Genshin Impact fans who don't want to miss it should tune in to the game's official YouTube and Twitch channels.
