The developers officially revealed designs of Yelan and Bennet's character skins, which will be released in the upcoming version 5.8. Based on the images released, the latter's outfit is strikingly similar to the designs of most Natlan outfits.

Fans speculate that Bennett could have been from the Natlan region, and that we might learn more about his past based on his character skin. Furthermore, since he is a 4-star character, we may be able to obtain his latest outfit for free by examining Genshin's previous trends.

All skins for 4-star characters have been obtainable for free after completing all challenges for the main events in the versions in which they were released. Based on this, Bennett's outfit could also be given as a reward after completing all challenges and minigames in the main event for version 5.8.

Apart from Bennett's outfit, the developers released the design for Yelan's character skin, and it seems her outfit will have a Fontainian design. She will also have a separate event, which would explain the reasons behind her getting a new cosmetic in-game.

Based on previous trends, players will most likely need to spend real money to purchase Genesis Crystals to obtain this item. All 5-star character skins in the game can only be purchased with the Genesis Crystals currency. Thus, players would likely need to spend money to obtain Yelan's new cosmetic item.
