Genshin Livestream Shines Spotlight on Bennett

The Genshin Impact Natlan hype is reaching fever pitch, with no signs of slowing. The highly anticipated Natlan special program announcement date has been revealed, causing a flurry of excitement within the community. This Friday at 12:00 AM (UTC-4), the livestream will commence on Twitch and YouTube.

A promotional poster, titled "Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn," has been released, promising a wealth of Natlan reveals, including official banners and free rewards.

The Bennett Surprise: Freebie or Disappointment?

The unexpected free character has sparked considerable discussion. While many players anticipated a free Kachina, a Natlan native, Hoyoverse opted for Bennett, the adventurous 4-star character.

Although rumors suggest Bennett's Natlan origins, making him a thematic fit, this decision deviates from the established tradition of gifting a character from the new region to aid exploration. Kachina, therefore, won't be freely available.

A Bountiful Free Pull Harvest

The generous free pulls are generating substantial anticipation. Following adjustments, the final count appears to be 115 pulls. Diligent players completing all Version 5.0 content can expect this number; however, those with less playtime can still anticipate around 90 free pulls.

With Version 5.0 launching on August 28th, coinciding with Genshin's 4th anniversary, additional rewards are planned. A 7-day login event will offer ten fates, 1600 Primogems, a companion pet, and a gadget. Combined with daily commissions, world quests, Spiral Abyss runs, and events, players can anticipate approximately 18,435 Primogems or 115 wishes.
