Genshin Impact's version 5.3 Citlali leaks have ended

by

Recently, Genshin Impact has neglected Cryo characters, and this has reached a new extreme in 2024, with the latest Event Wish Banners rarely featuring new or returning Cryo characters. Still, while this problematic trend is expected to continue through the rest of 2024, recent leaks about a new playable character coming to Genshin ImpactCitlali, may be just what Cryo Element needs.




There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the recent leaks about Citlali, such as the character's rarity and abilities. However, in addition to this, Citlali is widely believed to be a Cryo Catalyst user who will be released in Genshin Impacts 5.3 update. Whether Citlali will establish a new meta for Cryo characters remains to be seen. Nevertheless, Citlalis' expected release will still be a cause for celebration given that the release of a new Cryo character in Genshin Impact is long overdue.

Genshin Impact's Xbox release is the perfect time for another crossover character

Genshin Impact's release on Xbox platforms should follow in the footsteps of the game's PlayStation release by introducing a new crossover character.

2024 has been a sad year for fans of Genshin Impact's Cryo characters


From Genshin Impacts 5.1 update, it's been almost a year since a new Cryo character was released, with the latest new Cryo character Charlotte from 4.2 update in November 2023. To make matters worse, according to the latest leaks, Genshin Impacts 5.2 update is not expected to introduce any new Cryo characters, so the next opportunity for a new Cryo character may not be until the 5.3 update, which won't be released until early 2025.

Genshin Impact
s update release schedule suggests that the release date for the 5.3 update will be January 1, 2025.

Overall, even reruns of existing Cryo characters are experiencing a drought, with Genshin Impact's waiting list filled with Cryo characters who have long been waiting for a rerun. Currently, Shenhe has the longest respawn wait time of any other limited character i Genshin Impacts Event Wish Banner. Meanwhile, Wriothesley still hasn't had its first replay since debuting in the October 2023 4.2 update.


This drought of new and returning Cryo characters has become a long-standing trend throughout 2024. However, recent leaks suggest that a new Cryo character may be coming soon, which will finally end this drought. According to leaks, Genshin Impacts 5.3 update will introduce Citlali, a Cryo character that players recently met in the Natlan region's Archon questline.

Citlali was able to end Genshin Impact's Cryo Element controversy

Citlali is believed to be a Cryo Catalyst character, although further information on this character's kit and whether they will be a four-star or five-star character remains uncertain at this time. So far the prevailing theory is that Citlali could be a 5 star shield support character.


Besides Citlali, leaks also suggest that Mavuika, the Pyro Archon, could be introduced as a playable character in
Genshin Impact
s 5.3 update.

As a Natlan character with a unique Nightsoul's Blessing ability, Citlali can potentially compete with the current meta for Cryo team compositions in Genshin Impact. Although, whether Citlali is enough to establish a new Cryo meta or not, this character is the first Cryo character to drop in Genshin Impact in over a year will still be a reason to celebrate for players who have been waiting for this very opportunity. Ultimately, if these leaks about the long-awaited release of a new Cryo character turn out to be true, players may want to start saving their Primogems as soon as possible to get Citlali when their banner runs in the 5.3 update.
