Genshin players have much to look forward to given the influx of new characters unveiled in the Nod-Krai region. Recently, HoYoverse rewarded players with a free Constellation upgrade for one of the five-star characters, enabling fans to enhance their favorite units. Furthermore, players can now increase character levels up to Level 100, a first since the game’s initial release.

In a recently shared post by leaker Douma Leaks, there are reports of another character arriving with the Version 6.3 update. This patch, referred to as “Luna 4”, is said to introduce a new Adeptus from the Liyue region, described as a “White Horse Adeptus”. This character’s release is poised to coincide with next year’s Lantern Rite celebration during the Chinese New Year and may connect to the existing character Zhongli.
