The silence around Genshin Impact’s upcoming version did not last long. Just days after HoYoverse dropped the chilling teaser Through the Silent Frostbound Night, fans were hit with a flurry of leaks centered around a mysterious new character named Lauma. What began as an enigmatic glimpse in a teaser has now exploded into one of the most anticipated reveals of version 6.0. The leak community has already pinned down her release phase, her element, and even a magical transformation that has players speculating like never before.
According to leaks sourced from Telegram by a trusted leaker known as HxG, Lauma is set to arrive in the second phase of the upcoming 6.0 update. If the leak holds true, her banner could go live as early as September 30, 2025. The fact that a release window is already out has caused a storm among fans, many of whom are calling her one of the most unique characters introduced in recent patches.
The teaser did more than hint. It confirmed Lauma's element, revealing her as a Dendro character. Her vision can be spotted clearly on her left hip during her brief but impactful screen time in the Frostbound Night teaser. While details about her weapon remain hidden, fans are already speculating she might wield something unconventional to complement her strange abilities.
Speaking of abilities, Lauma’s transformation into a glowing deer-like spirit was one of the most talked-about moments in the teaser. The scene showed her gracefully running along a mountain road, and fans believe this may be tied to an exploration-focused skill. If implemented, it could significantly improve traversal and add depth to gameplay mechanics not seen in other characters.
Beyond gameplay potential, her lore has already begun weaving its threads into the larger Genshin Impact narrative. Lauma is said to be part of the Frostmoon Scions, a secretive group based in Nod-Krai’s mountains and forests. Known also as the Moonchildren, this faction is devoted to the Moon Goddess and may play a key role in the story arc of the 6.0 version. Her presence hints at deeper cultural and spiritual themes that are rarely explored in such detail, and this has sparked massive theory-crafting online.
Adding more fire to the hype, HoYoverse has already announced the voice actors for Lauma in all four major languages. With Alexandra Guelff in English, Houko Kuwashima in Japanese, Zhang Anqi in Chinese, and Jan Chae-yeon in Korean, the character is receiving a full rollout of promotional readiness. This level of detail strongly suggests her playable status is not just a rumor but a countdown in progress.
What makes this leak even more explosive is how well it aligns with HoYoverse's usual marketing strategy. Drip marketing for version 6.0 is expected to begin very soon, and if Lauma is indeed one of the headline characters, fans will likely get more visual and gameplay content within days. The anticipation is at an all-time high, and the community is now glued to every update, every teaser, and every credible whisper about what Lauma will bring to the battlefield.
Whether or not all the leaked details turn out to be true, one thing is clear. Lauma has captured the imagination of the Genshin community like few characters have done before. With her elegant design, mystical powers, and deep lore connections, she might just redefine what players expect from a Dendro character.
