Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Bennett’s Natlan-Inspired Skin in Version 5.8

Early datamines for Genshin Impact Version 5.8 have unveiled an exciting surprise: Bennett is finally getting a new outfit, and it’s heavily inspired by Natlan. This marks a long-awaited cosmetic update for one of the game’s most iconic 4-Star characters, and it's arriving alongside a new skin for Yelan, which will be the game's second 5-Star alternate outfit.

🔥 Bennett's New Look: A Natlan Homage

Despite being a launch character in Version 1.0, Bennett remains one of Genshin’s most reliable supports, known for his unmatched ATK buffs and healing. His enduring popularity makes this new skin a welcome addition—especially since it's the first direct visual tie to his suspected Natlanese roots. With Version 5.8 exploring new lore related to Natlan, this redesign seems especially fitting.

According to reliable leakers Mero and Hiragara, the new skin includes:

• A vibrant color palette and intricate Natlan-style motifs
• A fully retextured model with detailed cultural elements
• A more modern and stylized look compared to his default gear

🎁 How to Unlock Bennett’s Skin

Unlike Yelan’s premium skin, Bennett’s outfit will be available for free as a reward during the Summer Event in Version 5.8. This year’s seasonal event will take place on Tenochitzotoc, an island rumored to be connected to Natlan’s conflict with the Abyss and the mysterious Mare Jivari.

The annual Summer Event has traditionally focused on character development, and Version 5.8 could offer new insights into Bennett’s backstory—especially if he interacts with other Natlan-origin characters. This could mirror the way past events like Simulanka deepened the lore around Wanderer and Durin.

⚡ Bonus Content: New Character & Skins

In addition to Bennett’s new look, Version 5.8 will also feature:

• Yelan’s second outfit (premium and highly detailed)
• Ineffa, a 5-Star Electro Polearm user from Nod-Krai, and the first character from the new region
• A continued emphasis on Electro-Charged synergies, with Ineffa potentially complementing Yelan in future teams

Version 5.8 is officially set to launch on July 30, 2025, and is shaping up to be one of the most content-rich updates of the year.
