The excitement for Natlan is reaching fever pitch, and Genshin Impact fans are buzzing with anticipation. The highly anticipated Natlan special program announcement is set to take place this Friday at 12:00 AM (UTC-4), and it will be streamed live on Twitch and YouTube. The event, titled "Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn," promises to unveil a plethora of Natlan-related content, including official banners and exciting free rewards.

The Bennett Debate: Freebie or Overkill?

A hot topic within the community revolves around the decision to offer Bennett, the plucky adventurer, as the free 4-star character during the Genshin Impact Special Program. Many had anticipated receiving Kachina, a native of Natlan, but it appears Hoyoverse has opted for a different approach. Rumors suggest Bennett hails from Natlan, making him a fitting choice, albeit an unconventional one. Players will need to complete a world quest to claim him. Meanwhile, Kachina won't be available for free, marking a departure from the tradition of offering a character from the new region to aid in exploration.

Free Pulls Galore

The community is also abuzz about the generous number of free pulls available. Initially set at 113, then adjusted to 110, and finally settled at 115, these pulls are a significant boon for players. By completing all the tasks in version 5.0, players can secure the full 115 pulls. However, even those with less time to grind can still expect around 90 free pulls.

With version 5.0 set to launch on August 28th, coinciding with Genshin's 4th anniversary, Hoyoverse is pulling out all the stops. A 7-day login event is on the horizon, offering ten fates, 1600 Primogems, an unrestrained pet, and a gadget. When you combine these rewards with daily commissions, world quests, Spiral Abyss runs, and other events, players can amass approximately 18,435 Primogems, translating to 115 wishes.
