Summary
- New leaks suggest that the Pyro Traveler won't be unlockable in Genshin Impact 5.0, which would be a first for the game.
- There is a possibility of unlocking their Pyro abilities through story quests in Natlan.
- The action RPG could be following in the footsteps of its sister title, Honkai: Star Rail, where the protagonist gets new powers through the campaign.
New leaks about the updates in Genshin Impact 5.0’s Natlan region are suggesting that there is devastating information about the Traveler underway. Version 5.0 is the next major update in the action RPG by HoYoverse and, based on the game’s regular schedule, it should arrive in late August. Before that, players will have to get through the release of Genshin Impact 4.8 and its contents, though leaks about Natlan are getting more intense as time passes. Now, new leaks about the Traveler’s status in Natlan hint at worrying details about the character.
According to information provided by the leaker known as Foul, which was then shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” on Reddit, the Pyro Traveler will not be unlockable in Version 5.0. As clarified by Foul and the leaker known as Somnus in another Reddit post, the button to make them activate Resonance with the Statue of the Seven in Natlan will exist but, upon pressing it, the message “Cannot resonate temporarily” will be prompted onto the screen. This would be the first time the Traveler’s new elemental abilities are not obtainable upon entering a new region in Genshin Impact.

Pyro Traveler Cannot Be Unlocked In Genshin Impact 5.0
The New Leak Suggests That The Abilities May Come At A Later Time, Possibly Through Story Quests
If the Pyro Traveler is unlocked in a patch after Version 5.0, this could be ground-breaking for the game. So far, the Traveler has been able to obtain new abilities as soon as they interacted with their first Statue of the Seven in any of the playable nations of Teyvat. If they are locked out from Pyro abilities upon reaching Natlan, developer HoYoverse may have other plans as to how these abilities will be introduced. In fact, the Pyro Traveler being unlocked may be related to the new story quests of Natlan in Genshin Impact.
"The Pyro Traveler’s introduction in the story could add more meaning to their abilities."
Until now, the Traveler’s abilities have not really played a huge part in the narrative, even if their proficiency over elements while lacking a Vision has been noted multiple times. In Natlan, however, this power could be bestowed or unlocked as they complete certain challenges or reach specific prerequisites within the story. This formula has worked successfully in other HoYoverse games, like Honkai: Star Rail. As opposed to Genshin Impact, all the protagonist’s new abilities in the turn-based RPG revolve around very memorable moments in the campaign.
The Trailblazer, the main character in Honkai: Star Rail, unlocks their first new set of skills in an important boss fight, which shifts the tides of the battle and is, easily, one of the best moments in gaming in 2023. The most recent Trailblazer form also came forth in a special moment in Penacony. Something similar could occur with the Pyro Traveler in Natlan – such an action would give the main character’s new abilities more meaning and deepen the immersion into the story of Genshin Impact.
The introduction of the Pyro Traveler via story quests is mere speculation.
For now, these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt. The Pyro Traveler may simply be unavailable in the beta tests and actually released in Version 5.0 anyway, for instance. There is still time for them to appear in the beta version, as the game should be six weeks away from Natlan. Of course, this time should be used correcting the design of the Natlan characters in Genshin Impact, which were met with backlash by the community due to the lack of representation.
