Every major Genshin Impact update adds a new region along with its unique characters. Genshin Impact version 2.0 was the last major update, and it introduced the long-awaited Inazuma islands.
Now that the entire Inazuma arc is coming to an end, players are expected to have the option to explore a new main nation in the near future. Rumors point to the next region being the mysterious land called Sumeru. And a recent leak from Genshin Impact reveals more information about one of the upcoming characters.
A popular filter Genshin Impact named Ubatcha1 has shared additional information about one of the upcoming characters, named Tighnari, which is expected to arrive in the next big update. He has confirmed that Tighnari is a bow user with Klee-type ears, which is apparently very common for Sumeru characters.
The community is confused by the character’s name as it is quite different from all the other names that appear in the player roster. Each major region of Genshin Impact represents a real life place along with its culture. Various fan theories claim that the name is based on a popular Arab scientist named Al-Tighnari.
According to the game’s leakers, the theory makes sense considering that Sumeru is expected to be based in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Another popular leaker called SpendYourPrimos has revealed additional information about the upcoming character of Genshin Impact. The hair of Tighnari he is dark and short, and will apparently be wearing long shorts, lace-up boots, and a bright green cape slung over his shoulder.
As for his rarity, Tighnari is said to be a five-star character who is expected to arrive alongside two other four-star characters in Genshin Impact version 3.0. One of those characters is the previously leaked Collei. Apparently, Collei’s kit is already finished, which means she could be here pretty soon. The fact that she is able to control elemental powers without a Vision of her makes her one of the most unique characters in gaming history.
