Genshin Impact’s 5.3 Leaks Returning Event, Character Skin, and Character Story Quest
If these Hu Tao leaks are true, this might put players in an awkward situation. On the one hand, severalcharacters inGenshin Impactstill don’t have outfits, so whether it’s a free outfit or a premium outfit, it’s typically a cause for celebration whenever a playable character receives a new outfit.
However, on the other hand, this information wasn’t available during Hu Tao’s recent rerun in the 5.1 update, whereas players who haven’t yet obtained this character might have reconsidered if this information was known ahead of time. At this point, players who didn’t obtain Hu Tao will potentially have to wait a long time before another rerun for this character, given how some characters onGenshin Impact’s character rerun waiting listhave often gone over a year without a recent rerun.
Genshin Impact’s character story quests are available regardless of whether players own the featured character.
