Natlan's Expanding Roster

The fiery region of Natlan continues to grow its character lineup in 2025. Notable additions include:

  • Chasca - A 5-star Anemo Bow user with a tall female model, released on November 20, 2024 in Version 5.2

  • Citlali - A 5-star Cryo Catalyst wielder with a medium female model, who joined the roster on January 1, 2025 in Version 5.3

  • Mavuika - A Pyro character representing Natlan's elemental affinity

  • Kinich - A Dendro character bringing an interesting elemental contrast to the fire-focused region

  • Xilonen - A Geo character adding further diversity to Natlan's elemental representation

Players looking to collect all the names from this region should plan their Primogem spending carefully, as Natlan characters continue to arrive with compelling abilities suited to various team compositions.

Fontaine's Continued Influence

Even as newer regions take the spotlight, Fontaine continues to introduce interesting characters throughout 2025. The justice-themed region added several notable names to the roster:

These characters join established Fontaine favorites like Furina, Neuvillette, and Wriothesley, creating an impressive lineup from the hydro nation.

Snezhnayan Harbingers Making Their Mark

The Fatui Harbingers continue their gradual introduction as playable characters, with Arlecchino being the most recent addition. Released on April 24, 2024, this 5-star Pyro Polearm user has become a popular choice among players looking for powerful Pyro application.

The names of future Harbingers remain the subject of much speculation, with characters like Skirk (a Cryo user) potentially joining the roster in upcoming updates.

What Makes These New Characters Special?

What sets the names in Genshin Impact apart is how they often reflect cultural influences from their respective regions. The naming conventions follow patterns that help players identify a character's origin:

  • Mondstadt names have Germanic influences

  • Liyue features Chinese-inspired names

  • Inazuma draws from Japanese naming traditions

  • Sumeru blends Middle Eastern and South Asian naming patterns

  • Fontaine utilizes French-inspired nomenclature

  • Natlan incorporates Mesoamerican naming conventions

This attention to detail in character naming enhances the immersive experience of exploring Teyvat's diverse cultures.

Planning for Future Character Releases

As we move through 2025, players can expect the pattern of new character releases to continue with each version update. Typically, each major update (lasting about 6 weeks) introduces 1-2 new playable characters, with their names and details usually leaked or officially revealed a few weeks before release.

For those tracking the names of upcoming characters, the official Genshin Impact social media channels and livestreams remain the most reliable sources of information, though the community has become quite adept at uncovering details ahead of official announcements.
