A Genshin Impact leak has revealed tons of information about one of the upcoming characters, Xilonen. HoYoverse has confirmed that she will be part of the upcoming Natlan expansion, which should arrive along with Genshin Impact version 5.0.
The release of a new major region is always followed by a significant roster expansion, meaning that players can expect at least three or more new characters to join the pool of playable characters with each update. Developer HoYoverse has already confirmed that the upcoming Genshin Impact update 5.0 will introduce three new playable units: Mualani, Kinich, and Kachina.
Genshin Impact Leak Hints at Madame Ping's Unusual Playstyle
A Genshin Impact leak gives more information about Madame Ping, who is expected to join the roster in the foreseeable future.
Natlan's teaser "A Name Forged in Flames" has confirmed that Xilonen will be a new Geo user in Genshin Impact. A credible Genshin Impact leaker who goes by the name FouL has revealed more details about one of the Natlan characters named Xilonen. According to the leaks, Xilonen's Elemental Skill and Normal Attacks will grant stacks of an effect called Night Souls. Dealing damage increases the number of Night Souls, which grant a special type of aura. Xilonen's C1 effect will increase the interruption resistance for all on-field characters.
Genshin Impact: Xilonen Kit Explanation and Release Date
Previous Genshin Impact leaks have revealed that Xilonen's Elemental Burst will allow her to unleash her Leopard spirit on the field, which provides different buffs to the active character based on the number of Cryo, Electro, Hydro, and Pyro units on the team. So far, leaks have been suggesting that Xilonen will be a very flexible character who can fit many different team compositions. Many players have praised her kit, claiming that HoYoverse should follow a similar pattern with their Geo characters in general.
Since the release of Genshin Impact's Dendro element, Geo characters have been pushed out of the meta as HoYoverse introduced tons of new elemental reactions, none of which are tied to Geo. Having a character who provides different buffs depending on the elements in their party will be a welcome adjustment.
When it comes to Xilonen's release date, she is expected to arrive in Genshin Impact version 5.1, which should drop around October 9. There are still no credible leaks about her exact banner placement. While HoYoverse is yet to officially reveal her weapon type, many rumors have suggested that Xilonen will be a new sword user. However, it should be noted that these leaks are to be taken with a grain of salt considering that Xilonen's official arrival is still at least two months away.

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.

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

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!
