Genshin Impact is a wildly popular game, which is becoming a sensation among gamers almost overnight. Engages players in activities ranging from exploration and battle to puzzle solving and firefly hunting.
Even with everything in the game, Genshin Impact is still in a relative infancy, especially for an MMORPG. There are currently two regions to explore, but that will change soon. The third region, Inazuma, and its mysterious ruler are arriving, both shrouded in some mystery. That leader is Baal, and a little more information about her has leaked than myHoYo intended.
Zaniet, a well-known Genshin Impact leaker, leaked an image of Baal. To be more specific, it is a silhouette of Baal, outlined with a bright sun behind it and the hilt of a sword in front is not the full image of Baal revealed, nor does it present any new information about the Inazuma region. It looks very pretty though, as Genshin Impact’s stained glass inspired art tends to be. Baal has his own drawn sword in the picture. His sword fighting skills are one of the things coming to Genshin Impact in patch 1.6, but it is not yet known how he will measure up to other five-star characters.

This is not the only Baal artwork that has been published. Genshin Impact’s official Twitter has also posted several artworks depicting Baal. In fact, the image Zeniet released is just a small part of a larger image, appearing in the upper right corner of the larger image. Genshin Impact has done this kind of stained glass-inspired art reveal before, even before the game’s initial release, to highlight important characters. The lore of Baal is quite extensive, so it’s a safe bet that the new story beats releasing in patch 1.6 will revolve around it in some way, at least initially.

While Baal may be one of the most central characters in patch 1.6, he is not the only new face gracing Genshin Impact when the patch drops. Kazuha will also arrive in patch 1.6, although much less is known about him than about Baal.
Patch 1.6 will also include a boat for players to travel through aquatic areas. This will mean new ways of exploring locations and hopefully new watery ruins and combat arenas. Perhaps it will even lead to new rare encounters, with enemies under water, perfect enemies for an electricity user who can manipulate time. Only time will tell.
Genshin Impact is available now for mobile devices, PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
