New Genshin Impact Character Xilonen Looks Like an Ocelot Cat

HoYoVerse revealed details about Xilonen, an ocelot-like cat girl who is one of the first new Genshin Impact characters in 5.1. She’ll be a Geo unit and her Constellation is appropriately enough called Panthera Ocelota.

Xilonen is a Nanatzcayan blacksmith in the game. Her title is referred to as “Ardent Flames Forge the Soul.” There’s no word on whether she’s a four or five-star unit yet. Also, no weapon was shown in the first teaser image, so we don’t know what kind of equipment she’ll carry. Her initial character story does mention her using a hammer at the forge to create weapons for other people, however.

Here’s that initial story discussing her background.

While Xilonen is the next new cat girl character in Genshin Impact, a few other ones already appeared in the game. The first was the four-star Cryo archer Diona, who is from Mondstadt. Then the Dendro swordswoman Kirara appeared to represent Inazuma. Lynette appeared alongside her siblings Lyney and Freminet in Fontaine. 

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and Xilonen the cat girl will appear in the 5.1 update. The 5.0 update appears on August 28, 2024. The Xbox Series X version debuts on November 10, 2024.
