As a seasoned Genshin Impact player with countless hours spent exploring Teyvat, I am thrilled about the upcoming 5.1 update! The anticipation is palpable as we eagerly wait for the release date, which based on previous patterns, seems to be October 9th.


In the upcoming days, we’re excited to share details about the latest content update for Genshin Impact, version 5.1. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect: its potential release date, Special Program livestream, featured characters in the banners, a new character joining the roster, and additional features.

In the latest version 5.0, Genshin Impact introduced Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich, along with exclusive quests and exciting activities. As we move forward, anticipate more as the game prepares to unveil further updates, enriching the realm of Teyvat.

Genshin Impact 5.1 Release Date

There is no official announcement on when Genshin Impact 5.1 will be released.

Given the usual release pattern of Genshin Impact, we anticipate that the next update, Genshin Impact 5.1, should be released on October 9.

According to the notice about future versions and events posted on HoYoLAB, new updates are typically released approximately every six weeks, usually on Wednesdays.

Genshin Impact 5.1 Livestream

The specific date for the Genshin Impact 5.1 livestream hasn’t been set yet, but much like the game updates, the live events tend to adhere to a consistent schedule. Typically, these live events are held approximately two weeks prior to the release of a new update.

Players can anticipate the Genshin Impact 5.1 livestream either on Thursday, September 26 or Friday, September 27, based on their geographical location.

Genshin Impact 5.1 Banners and New Genshin Impact Character

In the latest Genshin Impact update 5.1, we have a fresh player named Xilonen. She’s a top-tier Geo character who uses a sword as her weapon. First introduced during the Ignition Teaser: A Name Forged in Flame, Xilonen is renowned for her expertise in weapon crafting.

Regarding her playstyle, it’s anticipated that Xilonen will be a suitable choice as a support character. This is due to her unique abilities which adapt to the elements of her teammates. For instance, she can boost her own attack power by using her Elemental Skill or Burst when her teammates’ stats align with certain elements.

Additionally to Xilonen, characters like Chiori (a 5-star Geo Sword character), Nahida (a 5-star Dendro Catalyst), and Hu Tao (a 5-star Pyro Polearm character) are expected to reappear on this banner, as suggested by the reliable leaker Hakush.in.

Although the potential characters appearing in the Genshin Impact Update 5.1 seem abundant at present, keep in mind that these details aren’t definitively set by miHoYo. Thus, the roster might undergo modifications before the final reveal.

Other Features

In this latest update, I’ve found myself navigating through fresh territories in the world of Natlan. Some of these areas have been severely tainted by the Abyss, making for a challenging yet intriguing journey. This mysterious corruption seems to be a key piece in unraveling more secrets about the Traveler, adding depth to my in-game adventures.

Additionally, a significant modification concerning the Spiral Abyss has been proposed. As shared by a well-known Genshin Impact leaker, HomDGCat via their X account, it appears that the health points (HP) of enemies on Floor 12 will undergo an increase.

The HP boost multiplier has been elevated from 350% to 375%. This significant change should be kept in mind, particularly by those engaged in Genshin’s endgame content.

Additionally, it’s possible that a fresh manager might make an appearance in Genshin Impact Update 5.1, referred to as the Secret Source Automation: Configuration Device. This was suggested in a Reddit post by HomDGCat.

Reducing the boss’s 60% Resistance Against All Elements can be achieved through the Nightshade mechanic, commonly found among Natlan characters like Xilonen, Mualani, Kachina, Kinich, and Raiden Shogun.
