Genshin Impact: The Fate of Capitano, and the Rise of Columbina?
Hey there, travelers! Get ready for some spicy news about Genshin Impact's 5.0 and beyond! Rumor has it that we may be in for some serious changes and twists to the world of Teyvat, and not just with Natlan, the burning nation, but with the Fatui Harbingers, too. And remember that big, bad dude, Capitano, the guy from the Natlan trailer? It's time for some surprising revelations about his future in Genshin!
From all the rumors we've heard, Capitano was supposed to be playable like the sneaky Arlecchino. It would have been pretty awesome, and some folks figured he might be a "good" Harbinger who might work with our beloved Travelers. After all, everyone was hoping he was one of the Harbingers who, maybe, secretly isn’t evil. He could have even found a way to team up with us to take down those other awful Fatui guys, because everyone can appreciate a little good side, even a super villainous crew like the Fatui.
Capitoan to The Playable Crew? Not So Fast.
Well, those rumors about Capitano being playable in Genshin? They might be busted! According to a new leak, he's probably not making it into the playable lineup. Gulp! This changes things a little. Some Leaks were pretty confident about him joining our teams and his alignment being on the “good side.” Now, we are wondering if those leaks were actually dead wrong!
If Capitano won’t be playable in Genshin’s 5.0 or anytime soon, he could be a more dangerous baddie. Maybe we were too trusting? Remember the Tsaritsa’s super sneaky group, the Fatui? It's pretty tough to trust anyone who works for those guys. So this leak about Capitano being more villainous? That kind of fits with what we know.
Columbina’s Chance to Shine?
But, don’t get discouraged! Another big leak just dropped about the Third Harbinger: Columbina! This is where the "moral ambiguity" starts getting super interesting. The Harbingers are not a crew of simple baddies; they’re complex. And Columbina’s position, right under Arlecchino (remember that sneaky rogue?) tells you something right there. The Leaks are pretty confident about her being playable sometime after the 5.0 release, and some rumors suggest she’ll be coming into the world in a 5.x update! Remember how Arlecchino’s debut was all about Fontaine?
We're already wondering how Columbina’s storyline will play out. Will she join the good side? Maybe she's just another good baddie? Her role in the game, if she gets to be playable, could mean some great additions to our teams, and a chance to learn a bit more about the history and secrets of the Fatui. The question now is, can we trust her?
The Natlan Situation
It's been awhile since we got our first look at the Natlan trailer, where Capitano made an entrance! Now, Natlan is set for the year 5.0 release, but if this new leak is true, maybe he'll get bumped off to later content! Now, if all this is true, it might mean we're looking at another character – possibly the mysterious Columbina – getting the Playable Character spotlight, but at a later point! Everyone knows this game can surprise us, which is one of the things that keeps us coming back!
There are still some unanswered questions, which is always the case with these Genshin leaks! We don’t know how these changes to the storyline will work, if Columbina’s playability gets pushed back into Snezhnaya’s content – the location of the Fatui, or even if Capitano's story changes with these new details! It’s hard to tell what exactly will happen with Capitano. We'll have to wait and see what the Genshin 5.0 livestream tells us!
Genshin Impact: Where are We Going From Here?
Remember this – everyone loves a bit of intrigue, and we are always on the lookout for any new information about the Genshin world. This might feel like we just got a sneak peek into the playability future, but it is a little disappointing if Capitano's entrance has been delayed. We're just ready to play with new characters, find those super strong and rare weapons and gadgets. and finally meet our beloved Travelers’ biggest rivals! We still have plenty of new Genshin content to look forward to, which means plenty of chances to level up our favorite characters, build out those awesome team combinations. We've been looking forward to learning what the future of this exciting world holds, so let’s keep exploring Teyvat with all the new gameplay changes, events and exciting updates!
