Genshin Impact Leak Highlights Mondstadt’s Character Drought – When Will We Get More?

Mondstadt, Genshin Impact’s first-ever region, has long been overshadowed by newer areas like Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine—and a new chart shows just how neglected its character roster has become.

According to Gamerant, Mondstadt has not received a new character since Mika in Version 3.5, making it one of the least expanded regions in the game. However, that may soon change, as leaks suggest that Dahlia, a new 4-star Deacon from the Church of Favonius, is set to join the game in Spring 2025.

Let’s break down why Mondstadt has received so few characters, how it compares to other regions, and what we know about upcoming Mondstadt additions.

📉 Mondstadt’s Character Drought – How Bad Is It?

A recent chart posted by the Genshin Impact community ranks all regions by the number of playable characters and their latest 5-star additions.

Region	Total Characters	Latest 5-Star Release
Mondstadt	19	Version 1.5 (Eula)
Liyue	21	Version 4.4
Inazuma	17	Version 5.4
Sumeru	14	Version 3.5
Fontaine	12	Version 4.8
Natlan	8	Version 5.3
Snezhnaya	2	Version 4.6

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Mondstadt has more characters than Fontaine, Sumeru, and Natlan but has not received a new 5-star since Eula in Version 1.5.
• Liyue keeps growing thanks to Lantern Rite updates adding new characters every year.
• Inazuma, Fontaine, and Natlan have received more frequent updates, while Mondstadt remains stagnant.

🧐 Why Hasn’t Mondstadt Received More Characters?

Many players feel that HoYoverse has abandoned Mondstadt, but there may be a few reasons why it hasn’t received much expansion:

✔ Mondstadt already has a well-rounded roster of powerful 4-stars like Bennett, Fischl, and Sucrose, who remain meta-relevant even in 2025.
✔ Unlike Liyue, which receives yearly Lantern Rite characters, Mondstadt does not have a consistent event that adds new units.
✔ Newer regions take priority, as HoYoverse focuses on expanding Fontaine and Natlan before the game’s final chapter in Snezhnaya.

🎯 Is This Fair?
Many players argue that Mondstadt deserves more love, especially since it has iconic characters and locations that remain unexplored, such as:

• Dornman Port – A rumored trade hub that has never been visited in-game.
• Varka & the Expedition Team – A storyline that has been teased since launch but never fully explored.

🔮 Dahlia – The Next Mondstadt Character?

According to leaks, Dahlia, a 4-star character from the Church of Favonius, is set to debut by the end of Spring 2025.

✔ Title: Deacon of the Church of Favonius
✔ Expected Rarity: 4-Star
✔ Element: Unknown (Possibly Cryo or Hydro)

🎯 What This Means for Mondstadt:

• Dahlia will be the first new Mondstadt character in nearly two years (since Mika).
• His release could signal more Mondstadt updates in future patches.
• If HoYoverse finally expands Mondstadt’s map, Dahlia may play a role in introducing new storylines tied to the Church of Favonius.

💡 However, no Mondstadt 5-stars are expected until at least Version 6.0, meaning the region’s character drought is far from over.

📌 Will Mondstadt Ever Get a Major Expansion?

While no major Mondstadt expansion has been confirmed, there are hints that HoYoverse may revisit the region in the future:

✔ Dornman Port has been teased in multiple lore entries but has never been visited.
✔ Varka’s expedition could bring new characters and quests.
✔ The Church of Favonius storyline remains unfinished, leaving room for future content.

💡 What We Can Expect:

• More lore expansion through character story quests.
• Potential new Mondstadt areas in late 5.x or early 6.x.
• Future 5-star characters once newer regions have been fully explored.

🎯 Final Verdict: While Mondstadt isn’t getting much love right now, Dahlia’s upcoming release proves that HoYoverse hasn’t forgotten about it entirely.

💬 Final Thoughts – Should Mondstadt Get More Characters?

✔ Mondstadt is long overdue for a new 5-star, with Eula (Version 1.5) being its last major addition.
✔ Compared to Liyue and Inazuma, it has received fewer updates and new characters.
✔ Dahlia’s upcoming debut could be the start of more Mondstadt-focused updates.
