Beyond the live demo of the new character Ineuf, the event will unveil details about the summer event and two new character skins—promising plenty of fun for players in this update.
Significantly, the 5.8 livestream will also tease major content for the upcoming 6.0 Mondstadt version, including silhouettes of nine new five-star characters. Among these are the thunder-elemental Chief, the frost-elemental High Priestess of the Frost Moon, the fire-elemental shop owner, the fire-elemental Durin, the Moon Princess, and the Sea Lantern Festival’s White Horse Immortal.
Looking further ahead, version 6.4 will introduce two new four-star characters, version 6.5 will add the wind-elemental greatsword user Fariga, version 6.6 will bring in the powerful witch Nika, and version 6.7 will debut the long-awaited Alice.
The main storyline for Mondstadt’s 6.0 arc is planned to span nine full versions. The new five-star characters’ story quests will be integrated into the Great God quests, promising an epic, interconnected narrative. Fans can look forward to learning why Columbia becomes the new Moon Goddess, the true purpose behind Fariga’s expedition, and the secrets surrounding the witch Nika and Alice.
Beyond these new characters, four special officers—the Girl, Puppet, Servant, and Doctor—will all make their debut in this major version.
The Girl’s story centers on her path to godhood. During this journey, Doctor seeks to seize the Moon’s power to become an Overlord. Despite the Frost Moon faction rejecting the new Frost Moon, the Girl’s unwavering will leads to reconciliation. She becomes the dominant consciousness of the new moon, matching the power of the Four Shadows.
The Servant, though not a central character in Mondstadt’s main plot, supports and understands the Girl after learning her background. However, after failing to kill the Doctor, the Servant loses part of its Red Moon power. The Doctor will appear in version 6.5 in the form of an android.
The Puppet was created by the Water Lily Cross, bound in a wager between Alar’s true consciousness and the Puppet’s own. If Alar can complete her constellation independently, she will choose to vanish and reunite with her sister, granting the Puppet true freedom from the Water Lily Cross’s will. But if Alar fails, her consciousness will disappear entirely.
That’s all the news for today! I’ll continue to share any new updates as they arrive. Interested travellers—stay tuned so you don’t miss any important announcements!
