Genshin Impact Leak Teases Version 5.0 Battle Pass Update

A recent post shared by Genshin Impact leaker Jokerverse is teasing an update to the Talent books available with Genshin Impact's Battle Pass. According to the leak, the Version 5.0 update will add the ability for players to choose Talent books from any region as the reward for each fifth level of the premium Battle Pass. The Battle Pass currently only allows players to obtain Talent books from the most recent region, currently granting Fontaine Talent books for completion. Genshin Impact's Version 5.0 update is currently expected to launch on August 27.

Alongside the launch of Natlan and three new characters, Genshin Impact's Version 5.0 is expected to bring a plethora of quality-of-life updates to the game. The Natlan patch will reportedly add the ability for players to skip Floors 9 and 10 of the Spiral Abyss if they cleared the levels in the endgame dungeon's previous cycle. HoYoverse has also confirmed it will be raising device performance requirements with Version 5.0, likely tied to new graphical features and elements found within the game's next region.

The character leveling process has been a major focus of Genshin Impact's recent quality-of-life updates, making the leveling grind significantly easier. HoYoverse introduced a major change to its World Bosses with the release of Version 4.8, significantly shortening the cooldown timer between repeating bosses. Leaks have also suggested that HoYoverse may add a new in-game tracking system for Genshin Impact's local specialties with the Natlan update. Between new characters, a full new region, and plenty of helpful upgrades, Version 5.0 looks to be an exciting patch for Genshin Impact fans.
