There will be a new game mode coming to the land of Teyvat, according to the latest Genshin Impact 5.7 leaks.
A major Genshin Impact leak has surfaced, revealing a brand-new endgame mode that could shake up how players approach combat in Teyvat. If the Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theater weren’t enough to test your team-building skills, HoYoverse may be preparing to raise the bar with a fresh gauntlet of boss battles—and this time, with a brutal twist: your characters start with zero Energy.
A New Endgame Experience Beyond Spiral Abyss
For years, Spiral Abyss has served as Genshin Impact’s primary source of challenging content. In more recent updates, HoYoverse has tried to diversify the late-game experience through features like Local Legends and the Imaginarium Theater. But the newly leaked mode—nicknamed “Unlimited Fighting Championship” by the community—might be the next evolution in endgame content.
According to reputable leakers like Seele Leaks and HomDGRat, this mode is currently deep in testing and draws strong comparisons to a revamped Abyss system. Here’s what we know so far:
Key Details About Genshin Impact’s New Endgame Mode
- Six Floors of Combat
- Each Floor Contains a World Boss
- Two-Minute Time Limit per Floor
- Zero Energy Start: All characters begin with 0 Energy, forcing reliance on ER builds or Burst-independent characters
- Three-Team Setup: The final floors demand three separate teams, increasing team-building complexity
- Multiplayer Option: Early floors (1–4) may allow co-op play
- Rewards:
- Floors 1–3: Primogems
- Floors 4–5: Sanctifying Elixirs
- Floor 6: Unknown (potentially new resource)
The unique mechanics of this mode—especially the energy drain—are already proving controversial. Some players see it as a fresh challenge; others fear it will alienate teams built around Energy-hungry Burst rotations.
Zero Energy Start: Gimmick or Meta Shift?
The most divisive feature of this leak is the zero energy start, which dramatically shifts the meta. Teams reliant on quick Burst rotations will struggle unless built with heavy Energy Recharge or battery support.
Characters like Mavuika, who can generate her own particles or function without Burst uptime, may dominate this format. Likewise, Skirk, rumored to have no Burst at all. So she could be tailor-made for this challenge. That raises concerns about content being too obviously designed to promote new 5★ units.
This has sparked concern in the community about powercreep and the increasing importance of “banner-bait” mechanics in endgame design.
Is This Leading into Version 6.0 and Nod-Krai?
All signs point to this mode being part of Genshin Impact’s upcoming Version 6.0 update, which will introduce Nod-Krai—the long-teased southern region of Snezhnaya. With the Frostmoon Scions and Fatui Harbingers reportedly converging there, it’s the perfect time for HoYoverse to drop a high-stakes combat mode to escalate the narrative and gameplay stakes.
The leak follows a pattern: previous game modes like the Imaginarium Theater. Similarly, the recent Unlimited Fighting Championship event could have been a disguised beta test for this very format.
Should You Be Concerned or Excited for Genshin Impact New Endgame Mode?
While nothing is officially confirmed, the direction HoYoverse is testing suggests they’re looking to expand the endgame beyond time-locked Abyss resets. This is a good sign for veteran players starved for long-term progression and higher skill expression.
However, the zero energy start could widen the gap between casual and hardcore players—especially if rewards like Primogems and Sanctifying Elixirs are locked behind ultra-difficult content.
