HoYoverse reveals Durin for Genshin Impact Luna III

HoYoverse confirmed that Durin will be a playable character in Genshin Impact Luna III (6.2). He will deal Pyro DMG and looks to be wielding a Sword.

Durin, of course, is the dead dragon on whose remains you can climb around in Dragonspine — but Hexenzirkel lore will come to the rescue and make his presence feasible in some way.

“In the past, when outsiders asked about ‘Durin's Story’ in Mondstadt, most locals would recount a dire tragedy — how the wicked dragon Durin descended amidst a tide of monsters, battled Dvalin across the skies, brought untold calamity upon Mondstadt, and finally fell upon the snow mountain,” Durin’s official introduction states. “And yet, not long ago, when outsiders inquired about ‘Durin's Story’ again, answers varied. Some continued to tell of the tragedy at the mountain, while others would mention a horned youth, and share amusing anecdotes of his embarrassing moments at the tavern and how he and Klee were scolded by Acting Grand Master Jean. ‘Has a new version of Durin's story emerged?’ With such doubts in mind, some outsiders would find their way to Mondstadt's most renowned bard, hoping for an answer. And that Bard would gently strum his strings while gazing towards the distant sky. ‘No. Best consider it a wholly new story, a far brighter one.’”

There is also a quote from Fischl about Durin: “O scourge of the wicked wyrm Tasraque, beast who denies destiny's yoke! Mine left eye hath pierced the weave of causality interwoven. The newborn birthed from reverie unto this world shall render the annihilation of three thousand universes! Upon the descent of the final hour of divine reckoning, once more declare that forbidden name to his fated nemesis!”

Helping Oz out here, what Fischl meant to say is that Durin was reborn thanks to the power of M, a member of the Hexenzirkel.

Genshin Impact Luna III is set to be released in the beginning of December 2025. Version Luna II launched earlier this week with Nefer and Miliastra Wonderland in tow.
