Soon, Genshin Impact fans can expect two fresh skins that will redefine the looks of Lisa and Ayaka. Leaks circulating online already offer a glimpse of the new appearances, giving players a sense of what to anticipate before official reveals.
According to the insider, the skins draw inspiration from Sumeru Academy. Lisa is portrayed as a student while Ayaka appears in a schoolgirl-inspired ensemble. The insider did not share the game’s official splash art; instead, they showcased a painted interpretation of the outfits, described as playful pranks within the leak thread. The overall connection to Sumeru Academy is clear, with the characters reimagined to fit a student-life setting.
In a bold twist, the leak also notes that Ayaka’s outfit was color-mapped using a neural network. The insider claims the generated color scheme aligns with the original design at about 85 percent, suggesting a close homage rather than a radical redesign.
Reveals indicate that the new skins will become playable on January 18 alongside Update 3.4. Expect announcements a few days ahead of the patch to build anticipation and confirm the new cosmetic options. It is believed that Ayaka’s alternate skin will be a paid addition, while Lisa’s attire may be offered as a complimentary event reward, broadening access for players who engage with event activities.
Previously, speculation circled a beach-themed skin for Eola, adding to the growing list of potential cosmetic drops. The Witcher relevance also surfaced as CD Projekt Red released new gameplay footage for The Witcher 3’s updated version, underscoring the ongoing interest in cross-franchise visuals and evolving character aesthetics.
For those tracking the leak trail, the discussion remains active across fan communities, with comparisons to existing skins and debates about balance, pricing, and in-game economy. This wave of pre-release content demonstrates how a single tease can ripple through players’ expectations and help shape the narrative around a game update before official channels weigh in. The information, while unconfirmed by the developers, highlights the appetite for fresh looks that freshen up a well-worn roster and keep the game feeling new for long-time supporters. (VG Times)
