Genshin Impact Leak Hints at Major Announcement on May 22
A recent leak suggests *Genshin Impact* fans should mark **May 22** on their calendars, with a new animated short rumored to premiere on that date. The leak, shared on the *Genshin Impact Leaks* subreddit, hints at a teaser that may unveil major story developments or introduce a new region.
Unlike regular character trailers, Genshin’s animated shorts often explore lore or hint at upcoming content. Some players believe the teaser could focus on **Skirk**, a long-anticipated character confirmed to be joining the roster soon. Others speculate it may reveal details about **Nod-Krai**, a mysterious area linked to **Snezhnaya**, expected to play a central role in the next major update.
There’s also growing hope that the teaser might finally introduce **Varka**, the elusive Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, who has been mentioned several times in the game’s storyline. Varka’s voice appeared in a previous teaser, and his appearance was teased during Version 5.6.
While HoYoverse hasn’t confirmed anything yet, excitement is building. If the pattern holds, Skirk may become playable as early as **June 18**. Whether the teaser focuses on Skirk, Varka, or Nod-Krai, *Genshin Impact* fans have a lot to look forward to on May 22.
