Will Dainsleif be a Playable Character in Genshin Impact?

A new element?

Genshin Impact has teased a lot of characters in its time, many of which were shown before the game even launched. Now several upcoming characters have been revealed in the story, including Dainsleif—the mysterious guide for my character. This made me wonder: is Dainsleif a playable character in Genshin Impact?

Is Daisleif Playable in Genshin Impact?

Dainsleif has been officially confirmed to be an upcoming playable character in Genshin Impact, and he even has his splash art. In addition, Dainsleif seems to use an eighth element, which has even been elaborated on in the game's story. As such, you shouldn't expect to see Dainsleif or how his element will play into the current comp until around the Snezhnaya arc or after.

There are a few reasons why Dainsleif has not been released yet. First, he is an essential character in the game's lore. In fact, he's the last surviving member of the royal family of Khaenri'ah, a lost kingdom that was destroyed 500 years ago.

Dainsleif's story is closely tied to the game's main storyline, so he will likely be released alongside a significant story update. There have been a few leaks that suggest Dainsleif will be released in Genshin Impact 4.0. However, these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt until we see that with our own eyes.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
