New Natlan Boss Was Hiding In Teasers All Along

Summary

A leak reveals new bosses coming to Genshin Impact’s Natlan region, one of which resembles a creature shown in teasers.
The boss designs include a green saurian and a pterosaur-inspired creature for Version 5.0.
The new bosses are unlikely to be the next weekly boss and will possibly be introduced in Version 5.0.

One of the leaked new Genshin Impact bosses from Natlan was revealed and, based on its designs, it had already been subtly showcased, hiding in a teaser for the upcoming region. The new region in HoYoverse’s popular action RPG is expected to arrive in late August but, with the addition of Version 4.8 and the start of the Version 5.0 beta tests, most of the upcoming content for Natlan started leaking, from details about the gameplay kits of the new playable Natlan characters in Genshin Impact to quality-of-life updates, for example.

Now, some new boss designs have arisen, and one of them resembles a creature that has already been showcased by the developer. According to a new piece of information from an unknown leaker, which was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” on Reddit nonetheless, one of the new bosses in Natlan will be an alternative version of the green saurian seen in the first teaser trailer for the upcoming nation. As seen in the post, the boss is a seemingly large green saurian with a blue flower hanging from its neck.

I’m Thrilled One Of Genshin Impact 5.0’s Biggest Natlan Leaks Isn’t True

One of the most significant leaks about Genshin Impact 5.0’s Natlan region has allegedly been debunked, and it comes as great news for us, players.

Leaked Opponent From Natlan Is Likely A World Boss In Genshin Impact

The Next Weekly Boss Should Only Be Added In Version 5.2

The creature shown in the leak is most likely a new world boss, found in a specific area of the new Natlan map, yet not locked behind a Domain challenge. This would make it similar to the Emperor of Fire and Iron or the Icewind Suite, some of the first world bosses made available with the release of Fontaine, for example. The rumored saurian boss is from a Version 5.0 leak, meaning it is very unlikely that it will be the new weekly boss in Genshin Impact.

In fact, the next weekly boss should actually only be introduced in a later patch, possibly in Version 5.2. Weekly bosses are often tightly connected to the events of the main campaign, and each region’s story arc is spread across multiple patches. In Fontaine, for instance, the weekly boss fight against the All-Devouring Narwhal, which leads toward the conclusion of the Fontaine arc, was added in Version 4.2 as opposed to Version 4.0. This will likely also be the case with the new weekly boss from Natlan in Genshin Impact.

Of course, this leaked saurian boss is possibly only one of the few new world bosses introduced with Version 5.0. As seen in another piece of information obtained by The leaker Jokerverse, which was then shared on Reddit, another upcoming boss takes on the form of a pterosaur-inspired creature. The leaked winged dinosaur has a coral-colored hide with several colorful accents.

For now, however, the leaks should be considered with caution. As reliable as they may seem, the information may be inaccurate or subject to change. Nevertheless, the game is undergoing several leaks regarding Version 5.0, mainly due to the fact that the patch’s beta is now open for tests. More details about Natlan should come pouring in as Genshin Impact moves closer to the Nation of Pyro’s launch, even if it is currently under fire by the community for the lack of diversity in its character designs.
