The excitement surrounding Natlan in Genshin Impact is reaching fever pitch! Hoyoverse has announced the date for their highly anticipated Natlan special program, set to air this Friday at 12:00 AM (UTC-4) on Twitch and YouTube.

A promotional image for the special program, titled "Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn," has already been released, hinting at exciting Natlan reveals, including official banners and in-game rewards.

A Surprising Free Character: Bennett

The announcement of a free Bennett has sparked considerable discussion. While many players anticipated a free Kachina, a native Natlan character, Hoyoverse has opted for the popular adventurer, Bennett, as the free 4-star character for the special program. Interestingly, rumors suggest Bennett's origins are in Natlan, making him a somewhat fitting choice. He'll be obtainable via a world quest. Kachina, however, won't be freely available. This deviates from the previous tradition of offering a free character from the new region to aid exploration.

Generous Free Primogems & Wishes

The generous free Primogems offer has also generated significant buzz. The number of free wishes has fluctuated (initially 113, then 110, and now settled at 115). Completing all content in Version 5.0 could yield this many wishes. Even with less extensive playtime, players can still expect around 90 free wishes.

With Version 5.0 launching on August 28th, coinciding with Genshin Impact's 4th anniversary, additional rewards are on the horizon. A 7-day login event will soon provide ten fates, 1600 Primogems, a pet, and a gadget. Combining this with daily commissions, world quests, Spiral Abyss runs, and events, players could accumulate approximately 18,435 Primogems, or 115 wishes.
