Summary
The end of Natlan content inGenshin Impactmay occur sooner than expected, according to fresh leaks. Natlan will be released in Version 5.0, expected to arrive in late August according to the regular update schedule for HoYoverse’s action RPG. The update will kick off a new year of content, which will be slowly distributed over the course of several six-week patches. However, as opposed to the previous years, the year of content revolving around the region andNatlan’s characters inGenshin Impactmay be much shorter than usual, meaning Version 6.0 and Snezhnaya may also arrive sooner.
According to new information provided by the leaker known as Jokerverse, which was shared in a post tagged as “Sus” onReddit,the next year of playable content will only go up to Version 5.7. Normally, each year of content goes to an x.8 patch. This year, for instance, Fontaine content is going up to Version 4.8, and the year before went up to Version 3.8. If the leak is true, the next year of content inGenshin Impactwill end about six weeks earlier, with Version 6.0 possibly starting in mid-July rather than in August.

The rumored number of Primogems in Genshin Impact 5.0 has allegedly leaked, hinting at what may be a prosperous update for players regarding Wishes.
Natlan’s Year Of Content In Genshin Impact Could End Earlier Than Usual
The Leaks Say Content Will Only Be Released Up Until Version 5.7
As mentioned by the leaker, the annual summer activities that are being developed for next year are planned for Version 5.7 instead of Version 5.7. Seeing summer events tend to wrap up a year of content before the arrival of a major nation, the leak suggests that is when Natlan-related content will end,right before players proceed into the Nation of Cryo known as Snezhnaya. Of course, this new leak may be incorrect or subject to change, even if the leaker claims they saw the summer event directly linked toGenshin Impact5.7.
A few comments on the Reddit post evidence previous leak mistakes with a similar approach. Last year, there were leaks mentioning that Fontaine’s year of content would only extend to Version 4.6, yet it ran a full year into Version 4.8. There is a big chance that, while the leaked summer event content is in development, it may have been attributed to Version 5.7 due to the lack of more content regardingVersion 5.8, which may not even have been added to the developer’s database.

For now, it is particularly hard to determine whether or not Natlan’s year of content will cutGenshin Impact5.8 out of the regular planning. The leaker’s report should be considered, but players should also consider how much HoYoverse is stuck to its regular schedule and the previous leaks that were proven wrong.
There is a large chance that it wasmisinterpreted information about a release that is over 12 months away.
The leaks should be taken with an extra grain of salt at this point due to how likely they are subject to being wrong or changed. At the moment, players should look forward to the release of Natlan in late August, which will be preceded by theGenshin Impact5.0 livestreamin a few weeks. The event should reveal a lot of the upcoming gameplay mechanics and even story teasers.
