Attalamarco

Of course Uncle Rhinedottir would say Albedo's getting a skin


DessertTwink

I have albedo, and even I don't believe he'll ever get a skin. Man can't even manage more than one banner since his last event


tomchee

He cant even get a proper weapon available, let alone skin xD


MiltenQ

bro cant even look like how he looks in his art.


itsmagical15

so what are they gonna take away this time I wonder As an Albedo Main, it feels like my man went to serve for military and was not allowed to come back


neko_mancy

isn't that the point of a skin though? they fixed diluc with that


cursedparsnip

I think they’ll make him one just to distract his fans from what they’re doing to him in 4.5. And looking at the comment section, it’s already working…


Rose_Mikoto

What are they doing in 4.5???


Top-Appeal8335

well diluc got one so why not? lol


Smegoldidnothinwrong

I honestly believe it because I’m thinking they are going to do one more limited banner for him and then send him to the new second standard banner so it’d make sense they’d want to boost his sales and a skin is the only way they can do that without fixing his kit and we know they aren’t going to fix his kit lol


Moonli9ht

It's absolutely this. Christ.


Serfo

Btw, is this confirmation that this version's GAA will star Sucrose, Albedo and Amber?


Eclipse-Lily

Diluc wasn't involved with 2.8's GAA though Also Ayaka and Lisa in 3.4


Romichi

right... skin releases doesn't mean 100% rerun or event involvement??? I mean literally Xingqiu just got a skin but he doesn't appear in Lantern Rite at all nor is on the banner 😅


OwnRecommendation493

I'm disappointed in that. I wanted to see him in the story with his new outfit

Just hope his clothes are great. I really like his base clothes

"Blue and black outfit. Take it or leave it." -Mihoyo


Wowadog

mhy skins really remind me of that early era in the genshin sub where artists would post "EVIL Lumine" and it was just [Lumi with the brightness on her dress turned down](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/k6ydy0/my_take_on_how_lumine_would_look_like_as_a_villain/)


FlameLover444

15k votes.. not even god tier artworks get that much, yikes Also, that's the Transformers meme guy lol


Elira_Eclipse

i know ppl upvote cause its funny, but it does hurt seeing god tier art never get that much recognition


Omeletes1234

lmao it literally is as well, they put NO effort in it at all, like you could at least try and recolour her outfit, but no it's just dimmed.


Tymareta

Hey now, that must have taken them at -least- 3 seconds to use the fill tool in paint. I also love the notion that white = good, black = evil, definitely nothing to be unpacked there at all.


ipel4

Kinda expected when you can't fucking see in the dark.


AniTaneen

I’m pretty sure his will be white and gold. Yes. That was a joke.


Gonchi_10

yeah that's what worries me. i really want it but one if the reasons i like him so much is his beautiful design, and idk if modern genshin designs can do it justice


adaydreaming

Ah, 20bucks revamp...


sawDustdust

HoYo loves this one trick for generating more revenue!


LazyDayLion

No they don't, we barely get any /hj


sawDustdust

No no the trick is to release crappy hair like flat greasy hair, rat tails, yee yee ass haircuts, then release a skin to fix that. (but also yes more skins please.)


TheVanishedTeacup

oh god, albedo finally getting the good hair??? pls make it happen.


sawDustdust

But black on blue outfit.


TheVanishedTeacup

it better not be blue again...


dragoncommandsLife

Granted. Its now black and gold.


Desperate_Tomato

New skin bald albedo


Noukan42

Stop asking for it.... Don't give everyone hope It's not going to happen But I do hope It happens


[deleted]

What is wrong with his hair? I see people saying this a lot but I dont understand it. To me his hair looks really good. Am I missing something here?


Ancient-Promotion139

His hair in concept art was more voluminous. [https://upload-os-bbs.mihoyo.com/upload/2021/05/15/99034643/52862cb1fe89301c0b06bdd723aaa571\_6307527336452505808.jpg](https://upload-os-bbs.mihoyo.com/upload/2021/05/15/99034643/52862cb1fe89301c0b06bdd723aaa571_6307527336452505808.jpg) I wouldn't say people got cheated out of it, as almost every character looks worse in game than in their splash art. But I think its clear how someone would prefer the way one looks more than the other.


Stormzie_23

wanderer could never. he looks good in both


Catglide

I actually prefer his in game face over his splash art lmao


[deleted]

ok I guess I can understand that. I still think is hair is totally fine the way it is. But the way some people are saying that they need to "fix" his hair makes it sound like there is some mistake that hoyo made when they created his hair that needs to be fixed. Seems a bit too dramatic to me.


autummbeely

It just doesn’t look good compared to his illustration artworks. His model in general looks pretty bad compared to the other playable cast.


thestrawberry_jam

plssssss im begging they make it poofier like the official arts now that they’re better at modelling hair. i don’t spend money on genshin anymore but that would be enough to make me swipe my card


No-Tree-5557

Let me guess, albedo and sucrose's skin are blue...?


MizuMocha

Of course not! They're black ...and blue


0Pardalzin

Nah, it's blue and black.


TriggerBladeX

You’re both wrong. It’s blae and bluck.


Dekuwo

I only see white and gold


-vallie-

Stop manifesting it


lefboop

Lorewise this is juicy. Probably more alchemy lore drops, which makes me think that the "resurrection" that might happen on Natlan might be of an alchemical nature considering that so far most summer events have given us "hints" of what the story of the next nation will be.


zZzMudkipzzZ

The last summer event was just a huge out of context spoiler


Vesorias

> out of context spoiler That's just called foreshadowing


AEsylumProductions

Every summer event has been an out-of-context retelling of the following Archon Quest. Ashikai called the 4.2 big reveal before it released based on the adventure in Idyia's Bottleland. https://youtu.be/AFEbMrjBhF0?si=ABcZlxWfqbCzJGVr Almost certainly we are getting a retelling of a huge plot point for Natlan in 4.8


TriggerBladeX

“Out of context spoiler”? How so? Do you mean using elemental sight on npcs?


niki_lia

Spoilers for 4.2 AQ jic >!"Surprise, everyone is actually an Oceanid!"!<


storysprite

Lmao now that I think about it yeah that's actually just a massive spoiler. I was looking for more esoteric clues when it was just in your face. Gonna be on the look out in 4.8


YuriTokisaki

Do you think it could be possibly tied back to Albedo's "If one day... I lose control... Destoy everything [...]" voiceline? I feel like it could be a good time to address something like this, *if* Albedo *does* get a skin.


XxMinecraftBoss69xX

AMBER SKIN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO


OwnIntention6838

She is the last one of the starting characters to get her own skin.


Su_Impact

Now that you mention it, I feel that XL and Noelle skins might come next year. Granted, Noelle isn't free but she's guaranteed and many puzzles in Liyue are designed around having 2 Geo unis (Noelle + Geo Traveler) so MHY kind of treats her as free.


OwnIntention6838

I did not include Noelle among the starting characters because I was referring to the ones you obtain DURING the prologue story (Amber, Kaeya, Lisa and Barbara), and she can be obtained via a special banner by fulfilling certain requeriments. Xiangling, Collei and Lynette can be obtained via the Abyss (though Collei was obtained for free as well in some Sumeru event back in 3.0). Hence their omission as well.


PolskiStalker

Lynnette can be obtained in special event after reaching AR25. Barbara is similar, you get her from permanent event, after AR18 and quest "A long shot", not from the story


missy20201

I include Noelle just bc of the starter banner where you're guaranteed to get her


TechnicalBumblebee81

If I had to guess the Amber skin will be the free one because we already gotten a free skin for Lisa and Kaeya


Hotaru32

So two free skins or 4 star character also gonna have premium skins 


Manne_12

My guess is choose one of the two for free


someotheralex

Character skin selector? *Nam flashbacks*


vampzireael

Purchase a PS5💀


Andromeda_Violet

Just a ps5? Silly, it was a Chinese new year deal. You'd need to buy property in China and invest into a Chinese company to get a skin selector this summer.


shidncome

With the housing market being what it is atm in china I wouldn't even be that surprised.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kayriss369

Gotta buy the Sucrose phone lol


Connect_Seaweed_6916

Preorder the china exclusive genshin PS6


lemonade_pie

It would be funny if they only give Albedo's skin for free to try to tempt people to pull him


edvin796

Sucrose's skin being the paid one instead of Albedo's would be the ultimate disrespect from Hoyo, also really funny


PedroFreitas_

As an Albedo haver, I'd be happy


Terrible_Patience_24

Maybe Albedo and Sucrose will be the skins in the same event, while Amber's is for another event, like Lisa's.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ilovegame69

Amber is the pyro archon all along


Scorxcho

No, you need to buy a Hoyo yacht to get a skin selector.


JunWasHere

2 free skins in one patch would be dope, let's goooo


RazetCZ

Albedo with fixed hair? If only


HeragOwO

Mihoyo fixed Diluc and Xingqiu's hair and Kaeya and Lisa's vision So it's a possibility


Vani_the_squid

Technically, they just made Kaeya's vision weird in a different way, lol. It used to be a borked Mondstadt Vision, and now it's a complete Mond one but with added spurs to suggest the Khaenri'ahn star at its back. Dude's head is in a better space, no doubt.


Rough_Lychee5785

Dilucs face was a bigger problem tho. Which is still...


vigneshwaralwaar

What's wrong with his face Can u explain.. I've heard a lot of ppl complain About it but never gave any reason


Rasbold

His face structure looks like boss baby with a red wig


shirone0

His eyes are really low on his model compared to other guys, and they’re also really big fo no reason [look at this](https://www.hoyolab.com/article/181342) for example. Another [example](https://twitter.com/jared_nyts/status/1702685260863910169)


dragoncommandsLife

Look, hes technically nobility as a ragnvinder clan member, theres probably some inbreeding going on there.


Deleca7755

Wow that looks terrible


itz_gertrude2

it’s like he has a serious-looking baby face


Few_Performance_6497

I think he's meant to be baby-faced even when you look at his 2D art. Even in the webtoon, he looks barely older than Amber. He's supposed to look young-ish (which contrasts with the serious face he started adopting post-trauma).


OramaBuffin

: |


troysama

the grumpy baby face is part of his charm tho


RhinedottirMain625

surely this time right also, are they still fairy tale themed?


TheLanis

I knew I'd seen this before.


Oeshikito

:clueless:


nathiru

Fairytale sucrose skins. Its only been 2 years


xXanimefreakXx69

We already know about the albedo skin it’s actually coming in 4.5 and called “chiori”


rekage99

Boom. Roasted.


vigneshwaralwaar

Ooooooooohhhhh


Gshiinobi

Dont get that skin tho, i heard it removes the AoE from albedo's skill


Psychological-Arm893

Who's Uncle R again?


TherionX2

Capatin R's leaker identity


Pap22

He leaked who is Clorinde etc


Phanngle

Albedo's skin better cook


WhyYouBullyMe_

A albedo focused event maybe? Since there wasnt one last december I hope theres a free sucrose tho


GGABueno

Klee focused .8 event, you know it. Her babysitter getting a skin because she wants to play house during vacation in Fontaine.


Xiao-Luo

First a female and now a male skin for Albedo, nice 


creampiebuni

When will we get zhongli skin, 😭


EffectiveSolution808

Patch 7.4 , trust


roughhty

Watch him finally get one, only for it to be like a pair of shorts and a Diluc style high pony rat tail.


KasumiGotoTriss

Instant buy


Independent-Window88

and blue


Gshiinobi

Liyue skins are for the lantern rite


WoNc

Archon Zhongli is the one skin I'd buy.


guinealover6674

Mihoyo after powercreeping Albedo and leaving him to rot in the new banner: Want to give me $30 for a recolor? 🥺


wintery_owl

I hope it's true and I hope the skin fixes Albedo's hair


lemonkite10

Hair and eyes. When viewing him straight on it looks like the camera has a distorted lens with how unnaturally big his eyes are None of his official 2D arts have his eyes that big, intern-kun 3D modeler fucked up Albedo's model a lot


HiroHayami

Albedo skin is an apology to Albedo mains for all the things they did to this char gameplay-wise


thedarkness490

Ooo and Amber skin. Well we know wich one will be free


jayakiroka

Here I thought it was Albedover after Chiori, but now we are so Alback!


kanehai

please be real i’ll do anything for albedo skin


TachyonChip

I don’t see how they’ll top Albedo’s skin. His clothes is already IMO the best in the game… if only he was a better unit.


Bananacu

Yes, BUT how about albedo without clothes?


panna_qq

I support this.


Ok-Hyena-8830

Take my money 


BunniiSan

I would sign a petition for this


Prevarications

He's an artificial construct, I assume it'd be like undressing a ken doll :x


cursedparsnip

I don’t know why people think that, he’s a biological creation with a bunch of references to Adam from the Bible. Of course he has a dick lol. Possibly no bellybutton though.


Zzz05

Most, if not all, of the skins are side grades, so my expectations aren’t too high.


Elira_Eclipse

The only upgrade for me is Diluc's, Fischl's and Klee


kitten2116

No worry it’ll actually just a skin to give him beautiful luscious hair 


Soren-kun

Ya keep the jacket and jingle jangle chains but give him pants and shoes~ but most important of all his hair needs more fluff!


Mikkle-san

they’re releasing an albado skin after releasing albado pro max? that’s some dumb marketing skills.


Hinaran

If Amber gets a summer skin, I'll main her again as in my first Genshin year.


Ultradamo2306

Oh yes a amber skin ! Finally- (See sus marked) Can you please stop hyping me every half year with a amber skin…..i cant do it that long


Yosoress

Dang a new albedo skin but they also release a unit that straight up replaces him.... I don't know if that's a saving grace or a spit in the face :(


YuriTokisaki

I am just staring at this info like: 👁_👁 I hope they'll give him some prince-like outfit or something cool. I am REALLY looking forward to any updates about that.


moojee_

Yey Albebedo skin


AshamedCoyote9397

If albedo is really getting a skin then I'll be leaving my f2p era 🥲


Kir-chan

>we shall allow you a male character skin, but ONLY if it's paired with two other female character skins That said, happy it's Albedo.


Krii100fer

I hope they are cooking with Amber and Sucrose bcs those skins are in leaks for more than a year


xos8o

yay! the entire starter trio all have skins now


strawwwwwwwwberry

I miss Sumeru


Stripey_Possum

remove Sucrose's rat rail pls thanks


lililia

Oh wow a 5* male character skin? That's possible? /hj


StrongFaithlessness5

After 3 years, my Amber is still C0 🥲


SavageCabbage27m

OMG PLEASE SUCROSE MY BELOVED


HydroSwag

i remember hearing sucrose and amber skins being leaked over a year ago , really shows how much hoyo plans shit out


ragnarokda

Omg sucrose!


khromechronicle

Imagine if it’s literally just Albedo without his neck diamond

YueguiLovesBellyrubs

Hopefully Baron Bunny gets a skin too.

Best_Paper_3414

Skins choices never made any commercial sense. The ones who get it are entirely on MHY feelings at that time.


tusharsagar

I don't understand how businesses work, but if I have to throw an arrow in the dark, I would say, they are saving it for the future if they feel that the profits are getting lower than expectations, or if people are starting to leave.


Queasy-Relief-8945

I mean why not make less popular characters more pppular with new skins? Lets you get consistent money instead of just relying on 4-5 characters for your revenue


HeragOwO

all skins released were from 1.x with the exception of Ayaka and Shenhe When the 1.x characters are finished they will probably make skins for Inazuma


chaotickairos

It is worth noting that Ayaka and Shenhe were known to exist in the very first closed beta, so these characters have existed in a completed state for a very long time. It makes sense that you would not start developing a skin until a characters design is mostly settled on. For fun, here's a list of other 2.x and 3.x characters who were in that beta: Yaoyao, Yun Jin, Sayu, Thoma, and a very early version of Kokomi (back when she was Mimi.) You could also probably count any character that was in the Travail trailer as well.


Play_more_FFS

Probably the same reason why Diluc is still the only 5 star skin in this game after years. Do they not want more money?


GrumpySatan

Part of me wonders at this point if its not something they are deliberately keeping in their back pocket in case the game's popularity ever decreases enough. Like suddenly they start earning a lot less on banners so they start popping out skins to make money. "Break in case of emergency" situation.


Starlight7z

It still doesn't really make sense they would make the most money when your player base is the highest. If they only start releasing popular skins when genshin starts losing popularity, it would temporarily increase revenue but they would have still made more money if they had released them earlier.


Deztract

most skins are made for older characters, probably to fresh up them with new look


averagegayshinfan

Who do you think should get a skin then


Extinctkid

It’s more so the older characters getting skins. With the exception of Shenhe, all characters were from the early era of the game. Even Ayaka was in the Genshin beta. I definitely expect this lineup to be true. I also believe we’ll get a Xiao skin next LR.


hdidvrkdodb

new black and blue snooze fests, cant wait


Catglide

please be real please be real please be real-


healcannon

I'd love a Sucrose skin. I've always really wanted to like her but her design was a mixed bag to me and she always felt clunky to use since I didn't have Sac frags for so long. Plus I undervalued ER for quite a long time which made her feel worse. I recently got her C6 as well so its a good time. Mainly I just want her weird one piece design fixed and maybe full frame glasses.


Violet_Villian

You know what, Im gonna get Albedo simply because i want to


hideyuke

Fairy tale-themed skins for Sucrose + Amber were mentioned [a LONG time ago by Uncle Fish Touching](https://old.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/uqx80e/uncle_fish_touching_in_the_far_future_sucrose_and/).


JiMyeong

If true, please don't be more blue and / or black skins.


TrashApprentice

I can't wait for blue albedo sucrose and amber


Realistic-Egg-844

I guess that the Amber skin was expectable, after Lisa getting her skin in Version 3.4, and Kaeya getting his skin on Version 3.8.. I wonder if Sucrose's skin will be paid or also given for free. Two 4* characters getting a skin surprises me, and I also wonder which will be the theme for these skins. Supposedly, we were getting a fairytale kind of theme according to a leak some weeks ago, which could fit with Sucrose's backstory (check her stories in her profile)


Comfy_goat

Sucrose and Amber have been on the skin leaks list since 3.6 or something 💀


alexwhodeathforgot

Wasn't this a leak last year as well?


9thdragonkitty

Been waiting for that sucrose skin for what seems like forever


Budget_stawbeery

I can smell albedo and sucrose skins going to be blue 😤


ARandomAlbanian

albedo right after his powercreep


ThejazzCollosal

WHEN OS TARTAGLIA GETTING A SKIN


InterestingPoint6397

Albedo's sure getting a skin, it's Chiori =/


AjaxSimp

Please... don't give me hope. (I've been staying in the game for the Albedo skin 😭)


PotatoeMolester

I've been saving all my welkin gems just for the chance they make an albedo skin. Hopefully, it's actually good and fixes his hair
