Genshin Impact 5.7 Update, New Character, New Features and More
Image via: HoYoverse With HoYoverse in its content flurry, Genshin 5.7: A Space and Time for You is the alignment towards one of the lore-rich and mechanically most manifold updates so far. The update will come live on June 18, 2025, bringing new characters long untold, carrying on the Traveler's tale, and rolling in gameplay features with permanent and seasonal tags, all of which go into the game's deep strategic extra dimensional matrix. Two New Faces, One Familiar Mystery Masterwork creation, at the center is one Skirk; long speculated, she finally emerges from the shadows. She is Childe's hidden mentor and one-time student of the Khaenri'ahn "Five Sinners," embodying the blending of Abyssal mystique with martial precision. Skirk is a 5-star sword wielder who carries a Cryo-themed kit but without the customary Vision. Instead, she utilizes a unique resource system known as Serpent's Subtlety. She can engage in two stances: one is for graceful swordplay, and the other for punishing bursts of AoE damage. Skirk really sets up the new-found paradigm of risk-reward gameplay for DPS mains. Dahlia stands alongside her as a 4-star Hydro support and the newly canonized Deacon of the Church of Favonius. Beneath his calm demeanor lies a kit that synergizes well with Freeze-based team comps. His Burst offers a renewable shield, spike ATK SPD for allies, and increases vertical mobility by lifting teammates skyward.

Phase 2 Emilie, the Dendro alchemist, and Mavuika, the new Pyro Archon, back, matching the Natlan story arc. As always, with these banners, HoYoverse manages to continue its tradition of mixing new characters with community-favorite reruns. EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT 5.7: Banners, Dainsleif quest, Free Character & MORE - Genshin Impact Version 5.7 holds many seismic shifts. The Archon Quest picks up from the 'Bedtime Story' chapter, going all the way to the bottom of the Abyss Order's mobilization in Natlan. The Traveler is reuniting with Dainsleif, perhaps in a combat-ready form for the first time, and the story seems to hint at the most direct confrontation yet with the Traveler's long-lost sibling. This chapter should only continue to unravel some of the game's most closely held mysteries concerning the Abyss, the Heavenly Principles, and the Traveler's true purpose. As relations are strained and loyalties unclear, 5.7 stands to be a watershed moment in Genshin's growing narrative tapestry. Events & Permanent Gameplay Enhancements In addition to the narrative, players can look forward to a brand new, Sumeru Akademiya-designed event game, a strategy-focused companion adventure with route selection and RNG fortuity, leading players to earn fantastic prizes like Primogems and a free-walk Sethos. Genshin Impact Version 5.7 Special Program #GenshinImpact #NewVersion #SpecialProgram Version 5.7 isn't simply a new area populated with new characters and stories, it's potentially paving the way for the next chapter of Genshin Impact's slowly unfolding, long-form narrative. From Abyssal revelations to long-awaited character debuts, even down to meaningful endgame rewards, this update serves as a testament to how HoYoverse is marrying player expectations with evolving gameplay innovation. As the Traveler gets ever closer to that truth and final confrontation, Genshin Impact continues to show players that it's so much more than a gacha game, it's an epic, ever-unfolding adventure.

Genshin Impact new character reveal, Dahlia's element confirmed
Image via: HoYoverse The special version 5.6 of Genshin Impact brought a lot of interesting information and one major surprise. Viewers got the first look at Dahlia, a new character. In the Version 5.6 trailer, the presence of a Hydro Vision on Dahlia confirmed that he wields the Hydro element. Dahlia serves as a Deacon in the Church of Favonius, where Barbara and Rosaria also work. Hence, he could have an important role in the storyline and future gameplay. Connected to past teasers Fans that have been watching the previous live streams should find Dahlia's silhouette quite familiar. During the Version 5.3 update, outlines of future characters were shown by HoYoverse, and Dahlia perfectly matches one of them. That translates to him being most likely a playable character very soon, during Version 5.7, likely dropping on June 18, 2025. Version 5.6 "Paralogism" Trailer | Genshin Impact #NewVersion #Trailer #GenshinImpact #Paralogism What we know and what we don't For now, the other details about Dahlia are somewhat under wraps: Rarity : Not revealed yet. Weapon : Also not revealed yet. Just judging by his elegant appearance, players expect him to be a sword or catalyst user, though nothing is official for now. What is so special about Dahlia? Fans expect Dahlia could be a great gameplay hero. He may provide an Attack Speed buff, enhancing the strength of Ayato, Yoimiya, and the Wanderer. But Attack Speed alone isn't enough; fans are hoping Dahlia will have other cool effects, possibly something that brings shield support—something Hydro hasn't had yet. Fighter is not Dahlia with the likes of Mondstadt characters. He seems to be rather friendly with Venti, but whether he is aware of Venti's secret self as Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, is unknown. With his connections to key characters, it is only likely that he will play a major part in the next Archon Quest. Dahlia will be one of the most interesting fresh faces coming up in Genshin Impact. Players are waiting to see if he will be game-changing, stunning with his powers, or complementing through the story.
