HoYoverse just dropped an explosive Genshin Impact teaser for version 6.0, and if you’re a lore junkie, meta enthusiast, or just excited to see what’s coming next, this is one teaser you don’t want to miss. Red Warrior did a deep dive on the entire reveal, and we’ve summarized all the critical info and character predictions right here.
Let’s break down the most important takeaways, from Colombina’s true role to Varka’s long-awaited debut and everything in between.
Varka is Finally Here—But is He Worth the Hype?
After years of being mentioned in lore and character lines, Varka finally makes his official on-screen appearance. He’s seen wielding an Anemo vision, and Red Warrior believes he’s almost guaranteed to be a 5-star character.
However, the question remains—will he live up to the hype? While Varka has had heavy buildup through dialogue and lore, he’s never had a direct story role until now. Players are hoping he won’t end up as just another Navia-style standalone DPS. Given the expectations, he needs to hit hard both in lore and in-game to truly deliver.
Colombina Might Be the Archon-Level Powerhouse
All signs point to Colombina being one of the strongest characters revealed in this teaser. Not only does she have the mystique of being one of the Fatui Harbingers, but her design and placement in the trailer heavily suggest Archon-level narrative importance.
Red Warrior predicts Colombina could take the Skirk role from Fontaine: enigmatic, powerful, and somewhat outside the typical playable mold—but potentially playable nonetheless.
Alice’s Mysterious Return: Another Skirk-Like Character?
Alice, a long-teased character and Klee’s mother, appears at the end of the trailer. Like Skirk in 4.0, Alice might not be a playable character—but she’s expected to have a strong narrative presence.
If she does become playable, don’t expect her to fill a meta-breaking role. Instead, she could end up as a strong support with unique mechanics tied to lore or storytelling.
Who’s the Real Villain of 6.0?
Several mysterious new characters appear in the teaser, including a dapper-looking man with a Hydro vision and another cloaked figure possibly using Electro. Red Warrior theorizes that one or both of these characters may be the main antagonists of 6.0, especially since this region reportedly won’t feature a traditional Archon.
Instead, the Fatui may take the central stage, with Colombina possibly leading them. These characters could be boss fights, event-limited, or even semi-playable, depending on how the story unfolds.
Free 4-Star Incoming?
As with past region launches (like Lynette in Fontaine), players are expecting a free 4-star character to help explore the new region. Red Warrior suggests this could be Ayano, or perhaps one of the new unnamed girls shown early in the teaser.
There’s also talk of another possible Dendro character joining the early game—maybe even free-to-play—which would follow the trend started with characters like Collei and Kaedehara.
Character Design Tiers and Predictions
Based on the visuals, Red Warrior suspects the top-row characters in the teaser are the five-stars, while others like the green-haired girl or young child with a bodyguard may be 4-stars or even non-playable.
Here’s a quick prediction list based on what we know:
- Varka – 5-star Anemo DPS or hybrid support
- Colombina – Archon-level, possibly limited Fatui character
- Alice – Likely non-playable lore character or niche support
- Ayano – Possibly free 4-star
- Hydro cloak guy – Potential villain or high-skill support
- Electro user – Potential wildcard, maybe new boss or Fatui
- Dendro girl – Could be a 4-star utility unit
There’s also speculation about characters “fusing” in animations or switching in bursts, and possibly high-fidelity models that could push Genshin’s technical limits—especially important for mobile performance.
No Archon? Fatui Take Over in 6.0
Red Warrior notes that 6.0 might not feature an Archon at all, a huge shakeup for the main story. Instead, the plot may revolve around Fatui leadership, with Colombina’s crew being central to the narrative.
That would also explain why characters like the dapper men and mysterious figures are being spotlighted. This could lead to an entirely different style of regional storytelling and combat focus.
Final Thoughts
The Genshin Impact 6.0 teaser is one of the most packed and lore-rich previews HoYoverse has ever dropped. From long-awaited reveals like Varka to cryptic characters like Colombina and Alice, the stakes feel higher than ever. Whether you’re here for the meta or the lore, this update is going to shake up the Genshin universe in a big way.
