A recent leak from reliable Genshin Impact sources indicates that the immensely popular Travelers’ Tales event – first introduced in Version 5.4 – may become a permanent game feature starting with Version 6.0. This change would address long-standing player requests for more character interaction opportunities beyond main story quests, allowing fans to enjoy bite-sized character stories (called “Anecdotes”) at any time rather than during limited-time events.
What Makes Travelers’ Tales Special
The event quickly became a community favorite due to its:
- Character-Focused Stories: Short, engaging narratives featuring the game’s expansive roster
- Regional Exploration: Stories tied to different nations (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, etc.)
- Rewarding Gameplay: Primogems and other rewards for completion
- Low Pressure: Casual, story-driven content without difficult challenges
How the Permanent Version Would Work
According to the leak, the permanent Travelers’ Tales would include:
- All Previous Content: Every Anecdote from past events would be available
- New Wishing Mechanic: Players can visit Narukami Shrine in Inazuma to “wish” for specific characters’ stories to appear the next day
- Consistent Rewards: Primogems and other items would remain as completion incentives
- Ongoing Updates: New stories likely added with future patches
Why This Change Matters
| Benefit | Impact |
|---|---|
| Character Development | More screen time for less-featured characters |
| Permanent Content | Addresses “content drought” complaints between updates |
| Player Engagement | Gives daily players additional reasons to log in |
| New Player Experience | Helps newcomers connect with characters they missed |
Version 6.0: A Major Update
The change would coincide with Genshin Impact‘s anticipated Version 6.0 update, which is expected to include:
- New Region: Likely the long-rumored Natlan or other expansion
- New Characters: Lauma, Aino, and Flins reportedly joining the roster
- Battle Pass Upgrade: Adding Local Specialties, Sanctifying Elixirs, and Dust of Enlightenment
- Chronicled Wish Banner: Featuring Sumeru characters
A Step Toward Addressing Player Requests
This potential change reflects HoYoverse’s ongoing efforts to respond to community feedback:
- More Character Interactions: Players consistently want more content with existing characters
- Permanent Mini-Games: Previous temporary events (like rhythm games) have become permanent
- Quality of Life Improvements: Making limited-time content accessible to all players
- Content Variety: Adding casual story content alongside challenging endgame activities

What to Expect Next
While leaks should always be taken cautiously, this aligns with HoYoverse’s pattern of making popular temporary content permanent. Official confirmation will likely come during the Version 6.0 special program stream expected in late 2025.
Genshin Impact is available free-to-play on PlayStation, PC, and mobile devices. Version 5.8 is currently running, with Version 6.0 expected in early 2026.
