Genshin Impact is gearing up for its annual Lantern Rite festival, celebrating the Chinese New Year. As in previous years, players can expect their adventures to return to Liyue, diving into fresh activities and festive events. The Lantern Rite brings a variety of new rewards, entertaining mini-games, and even introduces a new character from Liyue. Recent leaks have revealed that the event may also feature brand-new skins for some of the game’s fan-favorite characters.
Leaked Genshin Impact Skins: Neuvillette and Chongyun for Lantern Rite Event
Recent leaks from DK2 and hxg suggest that both Neuvillette and Chongyun will receive new skins during the upcoming Lantern Rite event in Genshin Impact. Players can look forward to getting Chongyun’s skin for free, while Neuvillette’s outfit will likely require a purchase. Nevertheless, fans of the Hydro Dragon Sovereign will be thrilled to finally see a dedicated skin for him.
Even though Chongyun isn’t considered one of the top-tier 4-star characters, his popularity stems from his charming personality. This new skin could be a great opportunity for players to develop a Chongyun cryo DPS build and make a strong impact across Teyvat once again.
Aside from introducing new skins, the upcoming Lantern Rite event is rumored to bring a 4-star character from Liyue. Earlier leaks suggest this character is the White Horse Adeptus, with some even hinting that they may be connected to Istaroth, the Ruler of Time, possibly as their spirit or offspring. In Genshin Impact lore, Rulers or Shades act as the overseers of Teyvat and rank among the most powerful beings in the game. Fans are hoping the event will shed more light on their mysterious backstories.
