Summary

The release of the Pyro Traveler inGenshin Impactmay take a lot longer than originally anticipated, as seen in a new set of Natlan leaks. The Pyro Traveler is expected to be the next form of the action RPG’s protagonist, who will align themselves with the predominant element in Natlan, known as the Nation of Pyro. Usually, whenever a new nation is released in HoYoverse’s game, players need to merely explore it enough in the initial x.0 patch and interact with a Statue of the Seven to acquire new powers alongside the new characters in the update.

This article contains possible spoilers for the Natlan story arc in Genshin Impact.

Rumors are, however, that this will not be possible so soon. In fact, one of the manydetails inGenshin Impact5.0, shown during the respective livestream, is that the Traveler will not acquire the Pyro element simply by interacting with a Statue of the Seven in Natlan – something that had been hinted at by previous leaks. The developers at HoYoverse did not proceed to explain how players will acquire this new set of powers nor when it will become available, but new leaks may give a more precise date on when unlocking the Pyro Traveler will be possible.

Genshin Impact 5.1 Leaks Are Making Me Thrilled For Xilonen

Leaks about Xilonen in Genshin Impact hint at a Version 5.1 release, as well as an incredible set of abilities that may be worth the pulls.

Pyro Traveler Rumored To Be Locked Until Natlan’s Story Is Completed In Genshin Impact

Leaks Mention They Will Gain New Powers From The Pyro Archon

According to information provided by the leaker known as White, which was then shared in a post onReddit,the Pyro Traveler will only be unlocked upon the conclusion of the main Archon Quests in Natlan. The leaker mentions that the Traveler will obtain their new Pyro abilities after Mavuika, allegedly the Pyro Archon, bestows the Gnosis onto them. Furthermore, the leak says that the Pyro Traveler can be compared to a smaller or weaker version ofBennett inGenshin Impact.

This could mean that the Pyro Traveler will be a healer and a support unit for the team comp, though exactly how worse they will be when compared to Bennett has still not yet been leaked.

Pyro Traveler’s Release In Genshin Impact May Only Occur In 2025

Natlan Archon Quests Will Skip Version 5.2

The Natlan Archon Quests will not conclude Version 5.0 and will, instead, be spread out across several future updates. During the livestream, HoYoverse revealed that the new quests will be introduced in Version 5.0, 5.1, and 5.3 – the team did not mention why there are no new quests in Version 5.2. If the final Natlan Archon Quests only arrive in Version 5.3, thenthe Pyro Traveler may be unlocked on June 04, 2025, which is when Version 5.3 should start if futureGenshin Impactupdates stick to their six-week schedules and do not suffer delays in content.

For now,this leak should be considered with the utmost caution, as it may be incorrect or still highly subject to change. However, it is sustained by previous leaks that the Traveler would not unlock Pyro powers immediately, and the confirmation by HoYoverse that unlocking these abilities is tied to the story content. While the wait for the Pyro Traveler may be long, there is a positive aspect to it. Often, unlocking new powers for the Traveler felt trivial – and if the Pyro abilities are truly tied to the story inGenshin Impact, then it may be more meaningful.
