Genshin Impact is reaching the tail end of the 4.X patch cycle and a new region is soon to come. And leaks about the highly anticipated Pyro Archon, Murata, continue to surface. Recent leaks from reliable sources like HXG shed light on Murata's potential design. The leaks hint at a character and region inspired by Spanish culture with a unique twist. Here's everything you need to know about the Murata design leaks and what players can expect.
A Blend of Cultures in Natlan
Murata, the Pyro Archon, is set to make her debut in the upcoming Natlan region. Natlan allegedly draws inspiration from the pre-Hispanic Aztec civilization. Murata, the Pyro Archon of Natlan, embodies this diversity, drawing inspiration from Spanish culture with hints of Mesoamerican and West African influences.
A Matador-Inspired Design
Leaked details suggest that Murata's design is heavily influenced by Spanish culture, particularly the attire of a matador. She is depicted wearing a dress reminiscent of Traje de luces, the traditional costume matadors wear in bullfighting arenas. Additionally, Murata sports a bow tie, adding a unique and stylish touch to her appearance.
The leaked chibi sticker of Murata reveals further details, such as her short orange hair, red eyes, and fair skin. While the sticker provides a glimpse into her potential appearance, it's important to note that her final design may undergo revisions before her official release.
In terms of gameplay, Murata is rumored to be a Polearm user, similar to Zhongli and Raiden Shogun. Players can expect her to play a crucial role in the Archon story, potentially offering new quests and challenges as they explore the Natlan region.
Uncertainty Surrounding Murata's Fate
Despite these exciting leaks, the fate of Murata remains shrouded in mystery. According to in-game lore, Murata went missing over a thousand years ago, raising questions about her current status. There may be multiple versions of Murata's design, suggesting that her appearance and backstory could play a significant role in future updates of Genshin Impact.
Looking Ahead to Version 5.0
While an official release date for Murata has yet to be announced, rumors suggest that she could debut in Genshin Impact's version 5.0 update. Players can expect Murata to be a Polearm user, adding a new dynamic to their gameplay experience.
