Bennett Shines in Genshin Impact 5.0 Livestream Preview

The Natlan hype continues to build momentum as Genshin Impact fans worldwide eagerly await the official special program announcement. The wait is almost over—Hoyoverse has confirmed that the live stream will go live this Friday at 12:00 AM (UTC-4) on both Twitch and YouTube, delivering a deep dive into everything Natlan.

A brand-new promotional poster titled “Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn” has already been released, offering a first glimpse of what’s to come. From new character banners to exclusive in-game rewards, this special program promises to be one of the most exciting reveals yet.

The Bennett Buzz: Freebie or Mismatch?

One of the biggest talking points making waves in the community is the surprise free character reveal—Bennett. While many players anticipated Kachina, a native of Natlan, to be the featured free 4-star character, Hoyoverse had other plans.

Rumors suggest that Bennett has roots in Natlan, making his inclusion somewhat thematic. However, instead of a direct giveaway, players must complete a specific world quest to unlock him. Meanwhile, Kachina remains locked behind standard banners, breaking the trend of freely obtaining a new region’s representative for exploration purposes.

Free Wishes Update

Another hot topic is the number of free wishes available in version 5.0. The tally has seen some fluctuations—starting at 113, dipping to 110, and now settling at 115. If you're aiming to complete all available content in time, that's the number to beat. For those with limited playtime, around 90 free pulls are still expected.

With version 5.0 launching on August 28th, and the 4th anniversary event just around the corner, there’s more than enough reason to log in daily. A new 7-day login campaign will reward players with ten Fates, 1600 Primogems, an unrestrained pet, and a unique gadget. When factoring in daily commissions, world quests, Spiral Abyss clears, and other in-game events, you can accumulate approximately 18,435 Primogems—or about 115 wishes.
