The Version 3.4 update of Genshin Impact is still a fairly fresh release, which means that the next Version update is quite some time away. But this hasn’t stopped the Genshin community from looking for what comes next and many massive leaks for the Version 3.5 update have already been discovered.
While game leaks are always viewed as a bit unreliable, the leaks uncovered by those within the Genshin leak community might be some of the most accurate and trustworthy ones around. Leaks uncovered by Genshin players are rarely wrong, which means that players can generally expect anything that is uncovered to release at some point in the future even if it does not end up being released during the time that was originally speculated.

All Genshin Impact Version 3.5 leaks
Because there is still the rest of Version 3.4 to go before Version 3.5 will be released, all of the leaks uncovered could still be changed or pushed by miHoYo before the update is released. Thus, players should take all leaks for Version 3.5 as probable possibilities rather than facts for the time being.
The Version 3.4 update of Genshin launched on Feb. 18, which means that more information on what will be released in Version 3.5 will likely come in the future as the next Version update of Genshin draws closer. All information pertaining to the Version 3.5 update will be changed to reflect any new intel that is discovered or anything that changes.
New characters in Genshin Impact Version 3.5
The Sumeru character Dehya has been around since the third chapter of the Archon quests but has yet to become a playable character. It is almost certain that she will finally become a recruitable character at some point during Version 3.5. Whether she will run during the first half or the second half of the update is uncertain, but most within the Genshin leak community are quite certain that she will receive her rebut run before Version 3.5 comes to an end and this is backed by miHoYo sharing an official announcement for the Pyro character on Twitter.
Announcements for new characters have always indicated that they would be released fairly soon afterward. Dehya can’t be arriving in Version 3.4 since the banners are already laid out, which means that she is almost certainly arriving in Version 3.5.
While some parts of Dehya’s character are uncertain, her Pyro Vision is prominently displayed on her outfit, so Dehya is a Pyro character. The weapon she wields appears to be a claymore since she has been seen wielding a claymore on a few occasions. She had a claymore in both act two and act four of the third chapter of the Archon quest, as well as in a few Sumeru promotional videos.
Although Dehya has been seen with a claymore before, promotional material can be misleading, which may mean that she wields another weapon entirely. But the instances of her wielding a claymore in the main storyline are far more reliable and do heavily indicate that she will be a claymore character after all.
Dehya’s status as a four-star or five-star character has been quite the debate within the Genshin community since she first surfaced in a massive leak where she appeared alongside a cast of other Sumeru characters. Most within the leak community currently believe that she will be a five-star unit but this has changed quite a bit over time and could change again as Version 3.5 gets closer. No other new five-star character for Version 3.5 has surfaced yet, though, which backs Dehya being a five-star even more as essentially every update brings at least one new five-star recruitable character with it.
Currently, there are only three five-star claymore characters in all of Genshin—Eula, Arataki Itto, and Diluc—which makes five-star claymore characters the rarest five-star character type of all. Thus, the addition of another five-star claymore character is certainly well overdue and would be a great and much-needed addition to Teyvat.
Perhaps further confirming Dehya’s imminent arrival is an official showcase of her idle animation and fighting skillset being leaked. This usually indicates that the character’s release is fairly close, which makes Dehya’s debut in Version 3.5 highly probable.
This special showcase also backs Dehya being a claymore character since she is seen wielding one and also backs her status as a five-star character due to her special zoom-in elemental burst animation. Only five-star characters receive these and it is would be difficult to create a fake one.
Another character speculated to be arriving in Version 3.5 is Mika from Mondstadt. It’s been a while since a Mondstadt character has made their way into Teyvat as a playable character, so a new addition hailing from the first region that was released in Genshin is quite a nice change of pace.
Mika works with the Knights of Favonius and also serves with Eula’s Reconnaissance Company. He first appeared during the Version 3.1 “Of Ballads and Brews” special event and is also the younger brother of Huffman, who players may be familiar with as one of the guards patrolling around Mondstadt.
The Surveyor of the Reconnaissance Company has only appeared once, but his Cryo Vision was on full display, which means that he will undoubtedly be a Cryo character. The Genshin leak community strongly believes that he will be a four-star character but what weapon he will wield is less certain.
Currently, most believe that Mika will wield a polearm. His official announcement from miHoYo makes this fact particularly confusing since he appears to be wielding a catalyst in his official artwork. However, this is not indicative of his actual weapon as many other characters, such as Raiden Shogun, have had misleading artwork before.
Artwork is known for being quite deceiving as in the case of Raiden Shogun who wields a sword on her splash art but is actually a polearm character. Thus, players should not expect him to be a catalyst character based on this and it is still much more likely that he will be a polearm wielder.
A showcase of Mika’s idle animations and skillset was also uncovered by the Genshin leaks community and does show the Cryo character wielding a polearm. In addition to his icy skillset, Mika has also been speculated to be a healer by a few different members of the leak community.
Rerun banners for Genshin Impact Version 3.5
The least reliable area within the leak community is rerun banners, which is likely because they end up changing around often. But even when the leaked reruns are wrong, the characters who do not end up receiving a rerun during a given Version update still usually appear in the next one or the one after that.
Currently, the only rerun that seems fairly certain for Version 3.5 is the five-star Cryo Claymore character Eula. It has been over a year since her last rerun, so she is certainly due for another.
Although the five-star Cryo Sword character Kamisato Ayaka was originally expected to receive a rerun in Version 3.5, she now seems to be returning in Version 3.6 instead. The reruns for Version 3.5 have been changing around quite a bit, but it currently is speculated that the five-star Electro Polearm character Cyno and the five-star Geo Sword character Albedo will be joining the banner roster for Version 3.5.
These names have been changing a lot and some other characters that have been mentioned within the community but have since been pushed to a future Version update are the five-star Geo Polearm character Zhongli and the five-star Cryo Polearm character Shenhe. The current speculated banner schedule for Version 3.5 is Dehya and Cyno in phase one followed by Eula, Albedo, and Mika on both banners in phase two.
Genshin Impact Version 3.5 events
Events are another area that can be rather unpredictable, as miHoYo may also move them around or change things as the update draws closer. But many within the leak community are fairly certain that another run of the “Fabulous Fungus Frenzy” event will likely take place in Version 3.5 since this has been uncovered a few times.
The debut version of this event took place in Version 3.2 of Genshin. Considering how recent the first run of this event was, it already being set to run again is a bit surprising, but it also does make sense for keeping players busy in Sumeru now that the main storyline quests for the Dendro region have come to a close.
Other leaked events for Version 3.5 include another run of Mondstadt’s Winblume festival, a Shroom Tower Defense event, another run of the Vibro-Crystal Research event, and another installment of the Spices From the West cooking-themed event.
Mondstadt’s Windblume event might give Liyue’s Lantern Rite event a run for its money in terms of how many of Teyvat’s playable characters are suspected to be gathering for it.
The Windblume festival is believed to feature the return of the rhythm-based gameplay mode. Players may remember this gameplay mode from The Almighty Arataki Great and Glorious Drumalong festival event.
Images from the Windblume event including its numerous game modes, story quests, and Serenitea Pot furnishings have also been shared.
Genshin Impact Version 3.5 weapons
No weapons have been revealed just yet, but every new five-star character also arrives with a weapon designed specifically for them. Thus, if Dehya is indeed a five-star, a five-star claymore will run on the weapon banner alongside her, and evidence pointing toward her being a five-star character after all is backed by the discovery of a possible weapon arriving in Version 3.5 to suit her.
New quests in Genshin Impact Version 3.5
A new Archon quest where players meet with the mysterious Dainsleif once again is speculated to take place in Version 3.5. Any quest that involves Dainsleif is usually quite important and helps players better understand Teyvat as a whole, as well as their own role within it.
If this quest is released in Version 3.5, players may learn more about the Descenders, the Cataclysm, Khaenri’ah, Celestia, and their missing sibling. Kaeya has been uncovered by multiple members of the leak community to also be appearing with Dainseldif and the Traveler in the new quest.
A new Domain may be featured in the 3.5 Story quest. This Domain features some kind of crystal that is hung in suspension with chains. The crystal is quite purple and glowy in nature which could mean that it is related to the Electro element.
Version 3.5 might also add the ability to do a hangout session with the fairly new four-star Anemo Bow character Faruzan. This will function like any other hangout and will thus be a special story quest that can be replayed to achieve different endings.
The Pyro character Dehya that is suspected to make her debut in Version 3.5 is also believed to come with her own Story quest for players to delve into. Some images from this quest have been shared and it seems to take place in the desert region of Sumeru.
Map expansion in Genshin Impact Version 3.5
Although Sumeru still has some growing to do before the Dendro region is complete, no map expansion is currently speculated to occur in Version 3.5. Those within the Genshin leak community currently believe that another expansion will not take place until the Version 3.6 update that comes after.
New Genius Invokation TCG cards in Genshin Impact Version 3.5
Another expansion on miHoYo intense card battle game mode is believed to be arriving in Version 3.5. This update may bring three new character cards for players to experiment with.
These three cards are for the five-star Hydro Catalyst character Sangonomiya Kokomi, the four-star Electro Bow character Kujou Sara, and the five-star Cryo Claymore character Eula.
All of Genshin’s TCG cards come with their own unique skills based on the skillsets of the playable Teyvat characters themselves. The full skillsets for these three upcoming cards have been uncovered by the community which means that players could get to work crafting a deck to utilize with them ahead of time.
The animations that the dynamic skins will perform in a TCG battle have also been uncovered for all three cards.
Outside of character cards, some other Genius Invokation TCG cards have also been leaked. These are equipment cards that players can utilize on their character cards to attain various buffs or increase their power.
Genshin Impact Version 3.5 release date
This update has no official release date just yet, but Genshin updates run on a very specific schedule, which means that a rough estimate of when it will be released can be made based on miHoYo’s usual update patterns. If everything stays on schedule and no delays occur, then the Version 3.5 update should launch around March 1.
