Bennett Shines in Genshin Impact 5.0 Livestream Preview

The excitement for Natlan in Genshin Impact is reaching fever pitch, and the anticipation isn't cooling off anytime soon. Genshin Impact has officially announced the date for the eagerly awaited Natlan special program, causing a stir throughout the community. Mark your calendars for this Friday at 12:00 AM (UTC-4), when the live stream will go live on both Twitch and YouTube.

The poster for the special program, titled "Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn," has been unveiled, teasing a wealth of Natlan-related content. Expect to see official banners and details on the free rewards that await players.

The Bennett Debate: Freebie or Overkill?

Let's tackle the hot topic – the free distribution of Bennett. While many were hoping to receive Kachina, the native of Natlan, as a complimentary character, it appears Hoyoverse had other plans. Instead, players will receive Bennett, the spirited adventurer, as the free 4-star character during the Genshin Impact Special Program.

There's a rumor circulating that Bennett hails from Natlan, which would make his inclusion fitting. To claim him, players will need to complete a world quest. On the other hand, Kachina won't be available for free. Despite the customary practice of offering a character from the new region to aid in exploration, it seems Hoyoverse is breaking from tradition this time around.

Free Pulls Galore

Now, let's focus on what's got everyone's Primogem sensors buzzing – the free pulls. The number of pulls has fluctuated, starting at 113, then dropping to 110, and now settling at 115. If you manage to complete all tasks in version 5.0, you can expect to receive 115 pulls. However, if you're short on time for grinding, you'll still be looking at approximately 90 free pulls.

With version 5.0 set to launch on August 28th, we're also approaching Genshin's 4th anniversary, which promises additional rewards. Hoyoverse is set to introduce a 7-day login event that will grant ten fates and 1600 Primogems, along with an unrestrained pet and a gadget. When you combine daily commissions, world quests, Spiral Abyss runs, and event rewards, you're looking at a total of about 18,435 Primogems or 115 wishes.
