Genshin Impact Version 5.3 will be one of the bigger version updates for the game. This is because it will wrap up the Archon Quest in Natlan while also introducing the Pyro Archon and taking part during the Chinese New Year. This means we will have a big version update, alongside the massive Lantern Rite event. The Lantern Rite event is known to be the most generous event in Genshin Impact, and one that every player anticipates. The event features a ton of things to do and regularly introduces new skins to the game. This year’s Lantern Rite will not be any different, as it will be launching with two new skins, one for Hu Tao and one for Xiangling. Learn more details below.

Hu Tao Skin
Hu Tao’s skin will be known as [Cherries Snow-Laden]. It is a skin featuring Hu Tao in a modern light, as it has been designed by a prominent designer from Fontaine. The skin maintains some of Hu Tao’s original color schemes, but this time, it focuses more on white and red rather than black. This skin gives a completely different vibe to Hu Tao, leaning more towards her playfulness. It gives Hu Tao a new hairstyle, and a nice pair of sunglasses, and completely changes her original hat and dress.
The skin will be available after the Version 5.3 update. Currently, there is no official information on the price of the skin. Players speculate that the skin will be a 4-star skin. If this is the case, the skin will cost 1,680 Genesis Crystals at standard and 1,350 Genesis Crystals at a discounted price. The skin will be available at its discounted price until the end of Version 5.3, so if you want it and want to save a bit of Genesis Crystals, make sure to purchase it then!

Xiangling Skin
Xiangling’s skin will be known as [New Year’s Cheer]. This skin presents Xiangling with a more playful side, focusing a lot on her connection with Guoba. With this skin, Xiangling has a cute Guoba-inspired hat to keep her warm throughout the cold months while also sporting a nice red and white jacket with a Guoba-inspired purse.
This Xinagling skin will be available for free during the Lantern Rite event, so everyone can claim it by participating in the event and completing the various challenges during it. For those who do not manage to get the skin during the event, do not lose hope. After Version 5.3, this skin will become available in the in-game shop for a price of 1,680 Genesis Crystals, so if you want it, make sure to do the event to get it for free!
