New weapons in Genshin Impact 5.1 have been confirmed by HoYoverse after a series of leaks and they may change some character builds for the better given their stats and special abilities. Version 5.1 is the next patch in HoYoverses action RPG, and it is bound to arrive in early October following the confirmation during the related livestream. The update will continue the main Archon Quests in Natlan and also introduce Xilonen in Genshin Impact, as both an NPC and a playable character. These will likely be the main attractions, though there is more in store for the update.
