While digging through the latest beta version of Genshin Impact, dataminers have uncovered intriguing files suggesting that Capitano’s journey in Natlan might take a dire turn. For fans closely following the game, any addition of an Archon or a Fatui Harbinger sparks excitement and speculation. When Fontaine was at the forefront, the spotlight was on Furina and Arlecchino. Now, it’s Natlan’s time, with Mavuika and Capitano in the limelight. Since his introduction in “A Winter Night’s Lazzo” back in 2022, Capitano has been steadily gathering a dedicated fan base.
His quest in Natlan is driven by a keen sense of honor and a deep-seated vendetta against the Abyss. A survivor from the fallen city of Khaen’ri’ah, Capitano’s backstory weaves seamlessly into the game’s rich lore, leaving players eager to see his narrative unfold further. The buzz around whether Capitano will be a playable character in Natlan is growing, but recent leaks hint that the reality might not be as rosy as fans hope.
In a recent leak, a music file surfaced showcasing the cryptic words: Cinder City Capitano Tombstone, as reported by an individual named Miruko. While these leaks need to be interpreted with caution, they do raise speculation about Capitano’s fate. The reference to a tombstone could symbolize a tribute to fallen comrades rather than hinting at Capitano meeting his end. After all, Capitano’s character model and weapon data exist in the game files, suggesting he might still have a role to play.
So, the burning question is: Could Capitano really meet his demise in the upcoming 5.3 version of Genshin Impact? The evidence seems to point that way, but there’s room for optimism. Capitano’s potential death could symbolize a significant sacrifice, with the possibility of resurrection through the Ode of Resurrection artifact. It’s anticipated that in version 5.3, Xiuhcoatl will face off against the corroded form, with Capitano’s involvement in the storyline remaining elusive.
If Capitano does face a temporary setback, it might pave the way for his return as a playable character. Though not slated as one of the immediate upcoming characters, there is still a glimmer of hope for Capitano to make a debut, potentially under a different name. This could tie in with the introduction of a new unnamed 5-star character, rumored to be arriving post-Iansan and Varesa. While it’s unlikely this figure will hail from Natlan, such speculation keeps the community buzzing with excitement until the game reveals more secrets on January 1, 2025, with the launch of version 5.3.
