Genshin Impact’s last skin release was in Version 2.8 with Fischl getting a free skin and Diluc getting the first ever 5-star skin in the game. Players have been demanding more skins and especially free ones for the 4-star characters and we finally have some news about that. The upcoming skins were rumoured to be that of Lisa and Ayaka. According to the latest leaks, this has been confirmed true and we also got to know some of their details.
Upcoming Character Skins in Genshin Impact
Version 3.0 and even Version 3.1 won’t have any new skins but players can look forward to future Sumeru updates for the next upcoming skins of Lisa and Ayaka.
Ayaka
Ayaka is leaked to get a school uniform skin which also has an added “homely” feeling. This comes as a surprise because Teyvat doesn’t have any conventional modern schools that we know of. If we do get a Japanese-style school uniform skin then it wouldn’t make sense according to the universe of Teyvat.
A logical theory would be that this skin refers to the one Ayaka wore in the Tsubaki in Thawing Snow official trailer which featured both her and her brother Ayato in residential duelling attire which does resemble the “school uniform” aesthetic. This also fits in the “homely” adjective in the leak. Her attire is also leaked to be a 5-star skin so players can expect special animations and dialogue from Ayaka when wearing this skin.
Lisa
Lisa’s skin will likely be given away for free as an event reward during the time of its release. Her skin will be a Sumeru uniform from her time in the Sumeru Akademiya. We still don’t know her Darshan in the Akademiya else we would have some idea as to what her skin would’ve looked like.
Ayaka’s 5-star skin will be given away at a discount but it will still cost money to get. Lisa’s on the other hand will be an ordinary 4-star skin which will be available for free from the event rewards only during the duration of the patch- after which that too will cost money. Rest assured, these skins are likely to release in Sumeru itself- expectedly by Version 3.5.
