As excitement builds for Genshin Impact's upcoming Update 5.0, a new leak has revealed that players will have the opportunity to acquire Bennett, one of the game’s most powerful four-star characters, for free. This news comes alongside the highly anticipated introduction of the Pyro nation, Natlan, a region that fans have been eager to explore.
Update 5.0: Natlan and New Characters
Genshin Impact's official channels have confirmed that the upcoming update will introduce three new characters from Natlan: Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich. These characters are expected to arrive in two phases, with Mualani and Kachina featured in the first banner cycle and Kinich following in the second.
Since the game's launch in September 2020, HoYoverse, the developer behind Genshin Impact, has consistently offered free items, including four-star characters and weapons, through limited-time events. Initial leaks had suggested that Kachina, rumored to be a four-star character, might be available for free in the upcoming update. However, according to the leaker Genshin_Intel, it is now expected that players will receive a free copy of Bennett, the beloved Pyro sword user.

Bennett has been a staple in many players' rosters since the early days of Genshin Impact, thanks to his powerful Elemental Burst, Fantastic Voyage. This ability creates a healing and damage-boosting effect on the field, making him one of the most versatile four-star characters in the game. As a result, the news of his availability in Update 5.0 has been met with mixed reactions from the community.
