Genshin Impact Leak Suggests Upcoming Natlan Archon Quest

A recent Genshin Impact leak has teased details about the game's next Archon Quest, including potential release timing and voice line counts. Since the introduction of the game's newest region, players have been treated to fresh content—ranging from stunning landscapes to a variety of new characters. The launch of Version 5.0 saw three unique characters, Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich, added to the roster, followed by the arrival of Xilonen in Version 5.1. Now, new leaks suggest the story will continue with another Archon Quest.

The opening chapters of Natlan's story have introduced players to the ongoing struggle between Natlan and the Abyss, revealing the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame—a high-stakes contest among Natlan’s tribes to determine the champions who will join the battle against Abyssal forces. Players also get a glimpse into Natlan's unique tribes, including the Children of Echoes, People of the Springs, and Scions of the Canopy, with the Traveler forming alliances with each. With this as the backdrop, fans are excited about the upcoming Archon Quest.

Renowned HoYoverse leaker HomDGCat recently shared insights into the next Archon Quest, set to debut in Version 5.2. According to the leak, this Archon Quest will be a shorter experience, with just one Act in Version 5.2’s data. However, the update promises plenty of Natlan-focused content beyond the main storyline. Based on voice line data, it appears that Iansan will be a central figure in the new chapter.
