Although version 5.3 will close the main story in Natlan, it will also include a Story Quest for Mavuika and a Tribal Chronicle for Citlali.
The Lantern Rite will take place in the second half of version 5.3, and Genshin Impact players will be able to get a total of 20 Intertwined Wishes for free via login rewards and the in-game email system.
