NEW UPDATE! FINALLY THE NEXT CHRONICLED WISH HAS BEEN REVEALED - Genshin Impact

We’ve got some fresh info on the upcoming Chronicled Wish in Genshin Impact, and it’s shaping up to be a big one! According to Flying Flame—the same source that accurately leaked the playable Mavuika in version 5.1—the next Chronicled Wish is confirmed for version 5.3 after an initial rumor placed it in 5.2. This correction has been shared by several reliable sources, giving us confidence in the timeline.

If you remember, the Chronicled Wish in version 4.5 was centered around Mondstadt, with the main event taking place there. But this time, Liyue is stepping into the spotlight for version 5.3. The reason? Lantern Rite! While the Lantern Rite festival is typically featured in the x.4 versions, it’s shifting to 5.3 this year, making Liyue the focal point for the Chronicled Wish.

Now, let's talk about the characters you can expect. Given the Liyue theme, it’s almost certain that we’ll see some fan-favorite characters returning. The most likely candidates are Ganyu, Zhongli, Xiao, and Baizhu—all of them fitting perfectly with the Liyue region and its significance in Lantern Rite. Alongside these four, the other limited characters for the banner are Qiqi and Keqing, completing the lineup.

With such a strong set of characters tied to this wish, version 5.3 is definitely looking like an exciting opportunity for players looking to pull for some top-tier Liyue characters. Are you saving up for anyone in particular?
