A new leak shared to the Genshin Impact leaks subreddit via leaker Fy Leaks has revealed the in-game models for Genshin Impact‘s Version 4.4 skins. The leak shows each skin in its un-textured form, showing off the model changes for Ganyu, Shenhe, and Xingqiu with their new skins.

The trio of skins is rumored to be released during Genshin Impact‘s Version 4.4, currently expected to debut on January 31.
The three new skins coming to Genshin Impact are expected to arrive alongside the game’s annual “Lantern Rite” festivities. The yearly event whisks players back to the China-themed region of Liyue, typically bringing new story content surrounding the region and a massive event with plenty of mini-games and challenges. Version 4.4 will also welcome a pair of new Liyue characters to the game’s roster, with five-star Liyue Adeptus Xianyun releasing alongside four-star Pyro character Gaming.
Genshin Impact‘s return to the Liyue region is also expected to welcome a new area to the game’s map during Version 4.4. Leaks have heavily suggested the Version 4.4 update will introduce Chenyu Vale to the playable region. The map expansion will bring a new village to the northwestern corner of Liyue, as well as fill in the current gap in the map between Stormterror’s Lair and Liyue’s Qingce Village. New skins, new characters, and new places to explore look to have plenty in store for Genshin Impact players when Version 4.4 launches next month.
