A Genshin Impact leak has revealed the model of a new character who might play a crucial role in the Natlan storyline. Genshin Impact has maintained its pattern of introducing one major region per year, with the long-awaited Natlan nation debuting in update 5.0.
The Natlan storyline has been evolving throughout the last couple of updates and is about to reach its climax in the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 5.3. After months of speculation, it seems HoYoverse will introduce a character who has been mentioned in numerous leaks over the past few months, though he will arrive in a way that many might not have expected.

A new post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has revealed an intriguing character model apparently tied to Xbalanque, the first Pyro Archon of Natlan. Xbalanque was one of the first characters rumored to arrive in Natlan. He was first mentioned in Neuvillette’s official introduction, which stated that Xbalanque killed the Pyro Dragon Sovereign, also known as Xiuhcatl, and returned from the battle to become the first Pyro Archon in Genshin Impact. While many fans seem very excited about this model reveal, the leaker has pointed out that this might not represent Xbalanque’s true form. The model shown in the post will reportedly belong to another NPC who will be possessed by Xbalanque’s powers.
Genshin Impact: Could Xbalanque Become a Playable Character?
While many fans still expect Xbalanque to arrive as a playable character, this seems highly unlikely, as none of the previous Genshin Impact Archons have made it to the playable roster yet. The new male model shares similar design elements with the current Pyro Archon, Mavuika, such as red-orange hair and eye color. The leaker confirmed that the model will be tied to Mavuika’s Story Quest, meaning players will soon uncover the true identity of this character.
The Story Quest is expected to become available in the first part of the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 5.3, as HoYoverse has confirmed that Mavuika will be released during the initial phase of the update. It’s safe to say that Mavuika is the most anticipated character in the entire Natlan arc, especially considering that previous leaks have suggested Natlan may not introduce a Harbinger to the playable roster.
This implies that despite being Natlan’s main antagonist, Genshin Impact‘s Capitano likely won’t become a playable character. Some players even speculate that Capitano might die in the upcoming storyline, which could explain his absence from the roster. However, these leaks and rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. Players will have to wait for Version 5.3, launching on January 1, to receive official confirmation about these characters.
