Version 5.1 is set to launch on October 9, 2024, and will introduce one new character, Xilonen, who has been confirmed to possess a Geo Vision.

Version 5.2

As per leaks shared by Full Stop Chan and @hxg_diluc, the expected schedule for the 5-star character banners in the Genshin Impact 5.2 update is as follows:

Version 5.3

According to the leaker Iris Leaks, it is anticipated that Mavuika and Citlali will be part of version 5.3, which is projected to be the first game update of 2025. Both characters are expected to be 5-star units, with Mavuika being the Pyro Archon, which aligns with expectations. The order of the banners for these characters remains unconfirmed.

Despite being a newcomer in the leak community, Iris Leaks has an impressively reliable track record, making this information credible as well.
