Genshin Impact's Version 5.3 introduces new characters Mavuika, Citlali, and the 4-star Lan Yan. Leaks reveal four upcoming 5-star characters slated for versions 5.4 to 5.7.

Spotlight on Mizuki (Version 5.4)
A credible leak points to Mizuki, a 5-star Anemo catalyst user from Inazuma, arriving in Genshin Impact's Version 5.4 update, likely around mid-February. This leak aligns with beta testing data showing Mizuki as the sole new 5-star character in the 5.4 beta. Her design matches the silhouette revealed in the recent Special Program.
Mizuki's character kit focuses on high Elemental Mastery, suggesting a support role with potential synergy with the recently released Pyro Archon, Mavuika. Her arrival could signal a return to the Inazuma storyline, a common pattern in HoYoverse's update cycle.
Upcoming 5-Star Characters (Versions 5.4-5.7)
The leak reveals four 5-star characters, their release order (left to right in the Special Program image) corresponding to Versions 5.7, 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6, respectively. While details on the other three characters remain scarce, their 5-star rarity is confirmed. The consistent addition of new characters, storylines, and regions ensures Genshin Impact's ongoing appeal.
