Recent leaks from the Genshin Impact 6.2 Beta have revealed that HoYoverse is planning a new series of events centered around Saurians, the ancient dragon-like creatures that once roamed Teyvat. This multi-phase event chain will reportedly begin in version 6.2 and continue through 6.5, introducing players to new gameplay modes, lore expansions, and rewards that further explore the relationship between dragons, alchemy, and elemental evolution.
According to early Beta data, the Saurian events will take place across multiple regions, each highlighting different elemental environments and types of Saurians. The first phase in 6.2 will serve as an introduction, featuring combat trials where players battle elementally-infused Saurians such as Pyro and Hydro variants. These creatures boast unique attack patterns and environmental interactions for example, Hydro Saurians can flood arenas, while Pyro ones can create volatile zones that inflict continuous burn damage. Players will be tasked with adapting their team compositions and utilizing terrain advantages to survive intense encounters.
As the event chain continues into versions 6.3 to 6.5, additional phases will unlock, each adding more complex challenges and story depth. Leaked information suggests that the events will tie into the overarching narrative of Durin and the Hexenzirkel, linking Saurians to the study of “elemental mutations” experiments that may have influenced both dragon and human evolution in Teyvat. It’s rumored that later stages may include cooperative modes, exploration missions, and limited-time domains inspired by ancient ecosystems frozen in time.
Beyond lore and gameplay, the Saurian events will offer exclusive rewards, including Primogems, Crown of Insight, Talent books, and even new furnishings and namecards featuring Saurian motifs. Data miners have also hinted at new event weapons and artifact enhancement materials that could benefit characters introduced during this cycle, such as Durin, Columbina, and other upcoming figures linked to dragon and nature themes.
Fans have reacted with excitement to this discovery, praising HoYoverse for expanding the mythos surrounding dragons and deepening Teyvat’s prehistory. Many have drawn comparisons to Fontaine’s Fontaine Research Institute events, but with a stronger focus on world-building and environmental storytelling. The multi-version rollout suggests that the Saurian saga could be one of Genshin’s most ambitious long-term event narratives to date, leading into Snezhnaya’s eventual introduction.
With its mix of lore, strategy, and exploration, the Saurian Event Series promises to be a major highlight of the coming updates, offering both thrilling battles and new insights into the ancient secrets of Teyvat’s primordial beasts.
