Summary
- Iansan may potentially become playable in the 5.4 update, much to fans' excitement.
- Ifa's release is still pending, with rumors suggesting he might be a 4-star unit.
- Version 5.3 in Genshin Impact will introduce Mavuika's banner and the highly anticipated Pyro Traveler.
A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed the release order of Iansan, Ifa, and more upcoming characters from Natlan and Inazuma. Since she was revealed in the early days of Genshin Impact, Iansan has become one of the most anticipated units from Natlan.
Iansan was first teased in 2020 in Genshin Impact's Teyvat Chapter trailer as a warrior from Natlan. For years, Iansan was the only reference players had about the Pyro nation, as no other playable characters or NPCs from Natlan appeared in-game. When Natlan was finally released in Genshin Impact 5.0, fans were able to meet Iansan during the Archon Quest, but she hasn't been confirmed as a playable unit yet. Instead, HoYoverse has opted to release other units like Mualani, Chasca, and Kinich. Genshin Impact Version 5.3 will also debut Mavuika and Citlali, so it seems Iansan will not be joining the roster in the next patch. Fortunately for fans, a new leak may hint at Iansan's release window.
Genshin Impact Is Giving Away Tons of Free Primogems
Genshin Impact players will have the opportunity to claim a substantial number of free Primogems as part of a celebratory giveaway by HoYoverse.
Prominent Genshin Impact leaker HomDGCat has shared the character IDs of future playable units, including Iansan, Ifa, and more characters. In the past, character's IDs have reliably narrowed down their release order. For example, a previous character ID leak accurately predicted Chasca, Ororon, Mavuika, Citlali, and Lan Yan's release order until Version 5.3. This new ID list reveals Iansan in second place, behind a character named Kimitsuki Ayano. The latter is a recently leaked Inazuma character teased for Version 5.4. This could mean that Iansan might also join the playable roster in the 5.4 update. The list goes on with Varesa, an unknown character from outside of Natlan, and finally, Ifa.
Genshin Impact Leak Teases Iansan and More Characters' Release Order
- Kimitsuki Ayano
- Iansan
- Varesa (Collective of Plenty)
- Unknown character from outside of Natlan
- Ifa
While the leak may be encouraging news for Iansan fans, it also reveals that players will have to wait some more for Ifa's release. Ifa has long been rumored to be a future playable unit, but he hasn't appeared in-game outside of some dialogue mentions. Previous Genshin Impact leaks teased Ifa's rarity and suggested he might be a 4-star, but his Element remains a mystery. Meanwhile, Varesa is a surprise new unit that has only recently begun appearing in leaks. She's been hinted to come from the Collective of Plenty, the same tribe as Iansan's.
Genshin Impact Version 5.2 introduced Chasca and Ororon in its first phase, while the second half banners will feature Zhongli and Neuvillette. However, fans might be more excited about Version 5.3, not only because of Mavuika's banner, but also because of the long-awaited playable Pyro Traveler, whose kit is rumored to be very useful in Natlan teams.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
