While we approach the arrival of Sumeru, the new nation in Genshin Impact, we've received more details about the land, enemies, and new characters from new leaks courtesy of data miners.
While there is no official information yet, data miners have begun sharing details about the inhabitants of the Dendro Nation, and while nothing is confirmed just yet, it paints an exciting picture.
With that, we have listed all the new Sumeru characters that we know of so far - and what leaks suggest about them ahead of their arrivals.
