Bennett Shines in Genshin Impact 5.0 Livestream Preview

The excitement for Natlan in Genshin Impact is reaching a fever pitch, and the community is buzzing with anticipation. Genshin Impact has officially announced the date for the eagerly awaited Natlan special program, stirring up excitement across the board. 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 promotional poster for the special program, titled "Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn," has been released, teasing a plethora of Natlan-related reveals, including official banners and exciting free rewards.

The Bennett Debate: Freebie or Overkill?

Let's tackle the hot topic everyone's discussing – the decision to offer Bennett as a free 4-star character during the Genshin Impact Special Program. While many had their hopes set on receiving Kachina, the native of Natlan, for free, Hoyoverse opted for a different approach. Bennett, the ever-enthusiastic adventurer, will be the free character you can claim. There's a twist though – you'll have to complete a world quest to add him to your roster.

Rumors suggest that Bennett hails from Natlan, which aligns with the theme. However, Kachina won't be available for free, marking a departure from the usual practice of gifting a new region's character to aid in exploration. It seems Hoyoverse is mixing things up this time around.

Free Pulls Galore

Now, let's dive into the part that's got everyone's Primogem sensors tingling – the free pulls. The number of free pulls has fluctuated, starting at 113, dropping to 110, and now settling at 115. If you manage to complete all the content in version 5.0, you can expect to secure those 115 pulls. But don't worry if you can't grind endlessly; you're still looking at around 90 free pulls.

With version 5.0 set to launch on August 28th, we're also approaching Genshin Impact's 4th anniversary, which promises additional rewards. Hoyoverse is planning a 7-day login event that will reward players with ten fates, 1600 Primogems, an unrestrained pet, and a gadget. When you factor in daily commissions, world quests, Spiral Abyss runs, and other events, you're looking at an estimated total of 18,435 Primogems, equating to 115 wishes.
