Summary
A recentGenshin Impactleak offers information about the story in Natlan, including some intriguing details about its Pyro Archon. With Version 4.6 introducing the final Fontaine map expansion,Genshin Impactplayers have been eagerly awaiting news about the next region of Teyvat. With only Natlan and Snezhnaya left,Genshin Impact’s overarching story, introduced in its intro cinematic, is steadily approaching the finale. While it’s become obvious that the conflict between Celestia and Khaenri’ah will come to the forefront once again, the road to getting there remains elusive.
According torecent rumors about Natlan inGenshin Impact, the first few 5-star characters from the new region will be two Catalyst units and a Claymore wielder. Their names, and the exact order of their release, remain unknown, but the Pyro Archon is expected to be the 5-star Pyro Claymore character coming in Version 5.2. Emilie, a Dendro 5-star from Fontaine, is also expected to be released in Natlan, whileGenshin Impactfans strongly suspect that Xbalanque is a Dragon Sovereign of Natlan who will be one of the Catalyst units.
However,new information provided by Ark and Seele Leaksclaims that Natlan will introduce the Electro Sovereign in a small role, while also featuring two distinct forms of thePyro Archon inGenshin Impact. It’s important to note that story leaks are the most unreliable by nature, as information is liable to be misinterpreted or even changed during development. Famously, Fontaine’s Ousia and Pneuma mechanics were misunderstood as a civil war between two factions – one led by Navia, and the other by Furina.
The Pyro Archon Could Be Two Separate Characters in Genshin Impact
The leak states that the Pyro Archon has a Medium Female and Tall Female form, with the former having been shown as concept art in early 2024. The golden mask, red and white dress, and indigo feathers are key aspects of her design, with the feathers specifically having a visual tie to the Electro Sovereign, who is meant to be an unplayable character. The other form wears a red-and-black hat with crimson feathers, has flame pupils, and her long hair ends in a low ponytail with a fiery gradient color. White feathers adorn her chest, and she wears a red cloak with golden trimmings. Given the design of previousArchons inGenshin Impact, it’s highly probable that the second form described is the Pyro Archon’s playable model.
There is also another possibility to consider: the twoGenshin Impactcharactersare separate entities altogether. As was the case with Fontaine’s story leaks, only the raw information ended up being accurate. Since Natlan’s story theme is rumored to revolve around rebirth and redemption, the seat of the Pyro Archon could be trading places over the course of its story. The leak also confirmed new skins for Amber and Sucrose, which have been rumored as having been worked on since at least 2022. Though it remains to be seen how the Archon Quests will play out in Natlan, it’s shaping up to be a wild journey.
