Genshin Impact update 5.0 and the open-world RPG's new Natlan region are due August 28, or late August 27 for much of the world, and now we know how update 5.1 will follow it up. After Mualani and Kinich in 5.0, Genshin's next 5-star character will be Xilonen, the Geo cat-girl first teased in an earlier Natlan trailer.
The official Genshin Impact social media accounts announced Xilonen earlier today, right on cue as patch 4.8 winds down and brings the Fontaine arc to a close. Developer HoYoverse typically reveals upcoming characters in batches, but Xilonen is the only 5.1 character at the time of writing.
