The hints about character skins in Genshin Impact are intensifying. After there was already a first leak a few weeks ago, another leak is now circulating.
What kind of leak is it? It mainly concerns the price for the Jean skin, which has already been discussed since the last leak and is expected to be released with update 1.6.
The leak also reveals where the Jean skin will be available. But keep in mind that this is just a leak and much could change before the release of update 1.6.
Where does the leak come from? The information comes from a tweet by Genshin Report, a Twitter account that is already known for various leaks.
This is what the skin might cost: According to the leak, the skin for Jean will cost about 20 US dollars. You purchase the skin with creation crystals. These crystals can only be obtained as a bonus with real money purchases of Original Resin.
While it’s still unclear how much the price will be in euros, it is usually adopted. So you can expect around 20 euros.
Finally new outfits, but where can you buy them?
How do you get the skin? If the leak is true, you can buy the skin directly from the shop. This will cost creation crystals.
Keep in mind: This is just an outfit. Purchasing the skin does not automatically include the character. Especially 5-star characters are coveted and hard to obtain. Usually, you only get them through banners.
You should definitely familiarize yourself with the Gacha system of Genshin Impact, which revolves around spending real money. Here you can find our FAQ on the Gacha system of Genshin Impact – How pay-to-win is it really?
Will all skins cost money? According to the first leak regarding the skins, with update 1.6, a skin for Barbara will also be introduced (image via Twitter). It will likely be obtainable through a quest reward associated with an event.
Whether this is really the case and what it looks like for any other skins in the future remains to be seen.
Why is this so exciting? If they come, skins or costumes would be a highlight for many players in the upcoming update.
On the one hand, the characters of Genshin Impact are the central point for numerous fans, so any form of customization is welcome. On the other hand, it can be annoying when a group of players is playing the same character and then they all look the same.
When is update 1.6 expected to be released? If miHaYo sticks to its 6-week plan, update 1.6 will likely be released in early June. Update 1.5 was the last update released almost a month ago, on April 28.
A live stream for update 1.6 has been announced for May 28 (via dualshockers.com), so we can soon expect more information.
