Genshin Leaks — What's Actually Out There (November 2026)
Version 7.2 "Hour of Ruin" launched November 4, which means the leak cycle has moved to Version 7.3: the Tsaritsa herself, a second new five-star, and a new weekly boss. Sorted below by how solid each claim is.
Spoiler warning: this page discusses unannounced characters, kits and bosses. Everything below is unofficial until HoYoverse confirms it — treat beta kit numbers as placeholders that routinely change before release.
The big leaks right now
What the current wave of leaks actually claims, ranked by confidence.
| Leak | Claim | Reliability |
|---|---|---|
| The Tsaritsa is playable in 7.3 | Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya — the Cryo Archon — debuts as a playable five-star in Version 7.3 (~mid-December 2026). Beta datamines include her signature weapon art and kit text. | Medium-high — consistent across leakers (FSC, hxg, Seele); Archons always land at the region's story climax |
| Danica joins 7.3 | A second five-star, reported as Electro, arriving in the same version window. | Low-medium — listed on the shared roadmap, kit still thin |
| New weekly boss in 7.3 | Beta references point to a new Trounce Domain boss plus an encounter built around a "嵌合"-style sea creature. | Medium — datamined assets, unnamed in English yet |
| Tsaritsa kit direction | Leaked passives describe converting eligible reactions into "Stellar" variants (Stellar-Conduct / Stellar Swirl) and out-of-combat energy/HP support inside Snezhnaya — a reaction-focused kit rather than a pure carry. | Medium — beta text; numbers and even mechanics can shift |
Version-by-version roadmap
Where each leaked character currently sits on the 7.x timeline. 7.2 is confirmed; everything in 7.3+ is leak-based.
| Version | Window | Characters | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.2 "Hour of Ruin" | Nov 4 – Dec 15, 2026 | Mitya (★5 Electro catalyst), Valeriy (★4 Electro sword); Furina rerun P1, Zibai + Linnea P2 | Confirmed — live |
| 7.3 | ~mid-Dec 2026 | The Tsaritsa / Anastasya (★5 Cryo), Danica (★5 Electro) | Leaked — medium |
| 7.4+ | Early 2027 | Dottore and additional unrevealed five-stars circulate on roadmap posts | Leaked — low |
Confirmed vs leaked — the quick test
Confirmed
Anything from the Oct 23 Special Program, official banner notices and HoYoLAB posts — the full 7.2 roster, Phase 1 banner dates (Nov 4–24), and the Nov 4 launch itself.
Strong leak
Beta-client datamines with consistent agreement across known leakers — 7.3's character roster and the new boss fit here. Still subject to kit tuning.
Weak leak
Roadmap posts and "source says" claims — version numbers and elements for anything past the next beta routinely slip. Plan primogems around confirmed banners first.
FAQ
Is the Tsaritsa actually coming in 7.3?
Multiple independent leakers place Anastasya — the Cryo Archon — in Version 7.3 (~mid-December), and beta files contain her assets. HoYoverse hasn't confirmed it; the 7.3 livestream in early December would be the confirmation point.
Where do Genshin leaks come from?
Mostly datamined beta clients (each version's beta runs during the previous patch) plus a small group of long-running leakers. Beta builds are why kit text leaks weeks before banners go live — and why numbers often change at release.
Should I save primogems based on leaks?
Save based on who you want, not on leaked strength — leaked kits get rebalanced between beta and release. What's reliable enough to plan around is usually the character roster and rough version timing, not the numbers.
What's the difference between "confirmed" and a leak?
Confirmed means HoYoverse said it — a livestream, banner notice or official post. A leak is anything else, even when multiple sources agree. This page labels each item so you can tell them apart.
