Exciting news has emerged for Genshin Impact fans as leaks reveal a potential free 5-Star character selector coming in Version 6.0. This major update, expected to introduce the new Nod-Krai region, might include this generous reward alongside the debut of highly anticipated characters like Varka, Alice, and Nicole Reeyn.

The current Version 5.8 update, featuring the summer event in Natlan and the introduction of 5-Star character Ineffa, has set the stage for Genshin Impact's next chapter. While players explore Ineffa's backstory through the latest Archon Quest, Version 6.0 promises even more exciting content when it launches in mid-September.

According to reliable leaker Kazusa, a screenshot of the Version 6.0 interface shows a selector containing all 5-Star characters from the Standard Banner. This would allow players to choose one of eight available characters, potentially including recent additions like Yumemizuki Mizuki, the powerful Anemo Catalyst user.

This leak aligns with HoYoverse's 2024 announcement that future anniversary events would include free 5-Star characters. The selector offers players flexibility - they can either obtain a new character like Mona, Jean, or Tighnari, or strengthen their existing roster by selecting constellation upgrades.

Version 6.0 is shaping up to be a landmark update, with the Nod-Krai trailer already revealing 11 new characters. Leaks suggest the update banners will feature Flins (Electro Polearm) and Lauma (Dendro Catalyst), along with reruns of popular characters like Nahida and Yelan.
