New leaks fromGenshin Impact5.3 hint at an exciting update that players have long been waiting for.The beta tests for the action RPG’s next patch have already begun and, with it, several leaks about its contents are starting to emerge. The majority of them are centered around the new playable characters, as these units usually offer more variety to the core gameplay. So far, the leaks have suggested there will be a total of fournew playable characters inGenshin Impact5.3, including the long-awaited Mavuika, the Pyro Traveler, and even a new unit from Liyue.
The leaks have also started highlighting the kit for each new character, allowing players to understand the units better and start thinking of whether they should pull for the characters.Mavuika’s leaks, for instance, show she will be a hybrid DPS and sub-DPS, even if she performs better when she is the main damage-dealer on the field. While characters are usually the center of attention, other pieces of content for Version 5.3 are also leaking, like theevents inGenshin Impact5.3, which hint at a huge patch. Now, one of the most recent leaks shows an important quality-of-life update.

Artifact Inventory Limit May Be Increased In Genshin Impact 5.3
The Leaks Highlight A Subtle Expansion To How Many Pieces Players Can Carry
Players may get a much-needed Artifact inventory limit expansion with the arrival of Version 5.3. The information stems from the leaker known as HomDGCat, which was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit. According to the leaker,players will see their inventory limit for Artifacts increased from 1,800 to 2,100– essentially allowing them to carry 300 more pieces. While the new amount itself is not as generous as one would hope, any expansion to the inventory limits forArtifacts inGenshin Impactis much appreciated.
Genshin Impact 5.4 Leaks Show The Game’s Most Underrated Region Is Getting A New Character
There are leaks about a new character in Genshin Impact 5.4 and their Nation could mean a return to one of the game’s most underrated regions.
Even with the introduction of the Artifact-crafting system a few updates ago, veteran players and those who are dedicated to adequately running their activities every week usually have their Artifact inventory at maximum capacity.Players tend to keep some unusable Artifacts merely for the EXP they provide when leveling up other piecesand, now, it’s possible to transform rare ones into materials for crafting.

Even so, these suboptimal Artifacts fill up the inventory, especially when players farm Artifact Domains consistently in search of better pieces for theircharacter builds inGenshin Impact.
Artifacts Still Need A Major Overhaul In Genshin Impact
The System Needs To Be Improved To Offer A Better Experience
Despite how positive the leaked inventory expansion for Artifacts in Version 5.3 is for the game, the larger Artifact system still needs a big overhaul.The crafting system did help a lot, especially when fine-tuning the builds for some characters, but it is fairly difficult to craft Artifacts– especially when compared toGenshin Impact’s younger sibling,Honkai: Star Rail. In the turn-based RPG, crafting Relics and Ornaments with the desired main stats is a lot easier and can be done more frequently, which often helps players reach ideal builds more consistently.
One Of Genshin Impact’s Most Beloved Characters May Get A Fine Treatment In A Future Update
The Pyro character Hu Tao may make an exceptional comeback in a future Genshin Impact update with a new Story Quest and even a new skin to equip.
Nevertheless, the leaked expansion to the Artifact inventory limit is still a great update, while an improvement to the system itself does not occur. As reliable as it may seem, the leak should be considered with some caution, as the details provided by the leaker may be incorrect, incomplete, or subject to change. Even though new content is always appreciated by the community, HoYoverse has been doing a good job providing quality-of-life updates, too, and this is reflected in the leaked update toGenshin Impact5.3.
