Man, let me tell you – as a day-one Genshin player, I've been starving for new character skins like Paimon craves Mora! 🥺 It's wild how we've only had Jean and Barbara's summer outfits since version 1.6. But hold onto your Primogems, fam – the latest leaks suggest our queen Keqing and boss lady Ningguang are finally getting wardrobe upgrades!
The Skinny on Skin Development
According to my trusty Discord leakers (you know the ones 👀), these outfits have been cooking longer than Xiangling's specialty dishes:
-
🔥 Keqing's redesign features a FRESH hairstyle – no more default twin tails!
-
💎 Ningguang's blue-themed fit is rumored to be... spicier than her original gown wink wink
-
🕒 ETA during 2.4/2.5 beta testing (fingers crossed!)
But real talk? Don't expect Honkai-level fanservice. Genshin's always been the \u0022PG-13 cousin\u0022 of gacha games. That Ningguang \u0022lewder\u0022 rumor? Probably just shoulder cutouts or thigh slit – this ain't Azur Lane territory!
Why This Skin Drought Hurts
Let's break it down:
| Version | Skins Released | Pain Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1.6 | Jean + Barbara | 🌶️🌶️ |
| 2.0-2.3 | ZERO | 💀💀💀💀 |
| 2.4+ | Keqing/Ningguang? | 🙏🙏🙏 |
MiHoYo announced the costume system at LAUNCH, y'all! Four years later and we're still scraping for crumbs? Oof.

At the end of the day, skins are more than pixels – they're love letters to mains who've simped since Mondstadt days. But here's what keeps me up at 3AM: If designing two skins takes THIS long... how will they handle Fontaine/Snezhnaya fashion revamps? 🤔 Drop your wildest skin concepts below – let Hoyoverse hear us!
