Project Celestia is a leaker that has gotten facts straight in the past and this time they’re suggesting thatGenshin Impactcharacters such as Barbara will be getting brand new costumes. These costumes are similar to newskins in games such asApex Legends,Call of Duty, andOverwatch, offering the same character with the same skills in a brand new aesthetic. The new costumes Project Celestia leaked ahead of release are the Sea Breeze Dandelion for Jean and the Summertime Sparkle for Barbara.
KnownGenshin Impactleaker Project Celestia was quick to point out as part of the costume leak that these skins are currently subject to change and both the Sea Breeze Dandelion and Summertime Sparkle may look drastically different upon release.Genshin Impactis known for many things, among them, character design is animportant aspect of the free-to-play titlethat makes it stand out. These new costumes being added toGenshin Impactwill make players feel like they can express themselves through their in-game avatars a little better, though only a handful have been teased through this leak. Barbara will be exchanging her dress for a sailor’s uniform in her style, while Jean’s new outfit also belongs on the beach.
These costumes weredatamined from the latest availableGenshin Impactclient and can be verified by other skilled dataminers. Developers at miHoYo have yet to confirm whether or not these leaked skins represent an influx of new costumes coming toGenshin Impactor if they’re just releasing for Barbara and Jean to start. Considering there are thirty characters on theGenshin Impactroster, it’s likely that some characters will have a higher demand for new skins than others, but miHoYo may consider releasing one for each of them to appeal to mains of each character.
