One Of Genshin Impact's Most Beloved Characters May Get A Fine Treatment In A Future Update

Hu Tao, one of Genshin Impact’s most beloved characters and one of the strongest DPS in the game for quite some time, may get fine treatment in an patch for the action RPG by HoYoverse. Hu Tao has been available in the game for years since her release back in Version 1.3. The director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor plays an important role in the story of Liyue, even if she is not directly connected to the Adepti of the Nation of Contracts. She is well-known for selling funeral ceremonies in advance, and her connection to death is explicit.

Players learned more about Hu Tao and her trade during the Papilio Charontis Chapter Story Quest, which is focused entirely on her. During the occasion, they can see how the character helps guide spirits into the afterlife and navigates the realm between life and death. For a long time, Hu Tao was the best Pyro DPS in the game, but she has since been sured by other releases, such as Arlecchino in Genshin Impact, though she is still an amazing character to run in several types of team comps and activities. Now, she may be put under the spotlight again.

Hu Tao May Get A New Story Quest In A Genshin Impact Update

Details About The Quest’s Contents Are Still Scarce

Even though she has been mostly absent from the game’s developments for a while, Hu Tao may make an important reappearance soon. According to information provided by the leaker known as NGA, which was shared by Seele Leaks, Hu Tao may get a new Chapter in her Story Quest. The leak was shared in a post flagged as “Questionable” on Hu Tao in Genshin Impact will tackle. Despite the fact that Hu Tao is from Liyue, the recent developments in Natlan may be connected to her.

At the moment, the Traveler is ing forces with the Pyro Archon of Natlan and the people from the various tribes in the Nation of War to fend off the Abyss’ incursion. During these conflicts, several characters are being killed off, which is somewhat unprecedented in current events. With that amount of death, Hu Tao could be a means of helping the deceased in Natlan reach their final destination – though it is unsure how this will work considering the presence of the Night Kingdom and the story of reincarnation in Genshin Impact’s Nation of Pyro.

The leak doesn’t mention precisely when the new Hu Tao Quest will be added to the game, but it does seem like it should occur within the next few patches.

Hu Tao May Also Get A New Skin In Genshin Impact

Another noteworthy aspect of the leak provided by NGA is that Hu Tao may get a skin in a future update, too. As is the case with the mention of the new Story Quest, there are no details whatsoever about what the skin will look like or when it will be added to the game. For now, everything lies in speculation, as exemplified by the s in the comment section of the Reddit post. Some s plea for a blue-colored skin that also makes Hu Tao’s flames in Genshin Impact turn blue rather than the standard red and orange.

While it is difficult to determine exactly when these new pieces of content will arrive, there is one small detail that may hint at a more precise release window. Hu Tao is a character from Liyue and the Nation of Contracts tends to be in the spotlight every year with the annual Lantern Rite Festival. HoYoverse has not announced when this will happen, but it is likely that 2025’s Lantern Rite Festival will occur in Version 5.4, which should start in early February next year if the regular six-week schedule for each update is not interrupted.

The mentions of a new Hu Tao skin could conflict or line up with previous rumors about a possible Yelan skin in Genshin Impact, which could also be released with next year’s Lantern Rite thanks to the character’s connection to Liyue.

Although the details are scarce, the leaks about Hu Tao’s new Story Quest and skin shed hope that she will once again be put in the spotlight, even if she has been somewhat powercrept by other characters when it comes to gameplay. Of course, leaks like these should always be considered with caution, as the information may be incorrect or subject to change. Hopefully, however, the leaks are accurate and Hu Tao gets to shine a bit more in Genshin Impact, as she deserves.
