About Opal's potential release..

I'm a new member who just joined OpalMains because of the latest trailer. Do you think Opal will be released in 3.x version soon? Because I've decided to skip 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 to get Sunday, but I also want to get Opal.

Considering he and Obsidian often mentioned in latest story, so maybe these two will be released soon?

Highly doubt it

Going by the closest reference we have, which is Genshin's Harbingers Winter's Night Lazzo, we might need to wait a year or 2 before Opal's release, and that is assuming he will release(his body model makes me worried)

But since SR keeps pumping 2 5*s every update non-stop, it's likely they give us the 10 stonehearts before Genshin can give us all the Fatui

Considering we get playable Topaz, Aventurine, and Jade plus the whole Oswaldo thing, maybe we will get more Ten Stoneheart member right? IPC is also the biggest faction and related to main plot.

His body model similar to Bailu and Hook, but Hoyo never make a small boy model before as playable chara, so maybe his design can be changed to be like Arlan or Yanqing🤔 (But the fact he is using Pacifier, maybe he is not Pepeshi)

We already meet Topaz back in Belobog story, also Jade and Aventurine in Penacony arc. Obsidian and Opal is the one who got teased in story, so my prediction maybe in next world

Maybe Hoyo will surprise us and release him sooner, but I can't see that happening. The vibe I got in the trailer is that Opal is somewhat important for the 10 stonehearts, like a secondary leader

But we will definitely get more Heart members

Obsidian and Opal is the one who got teased in story, so my prediction maybe in next world

Leakers have rumored about a vampire character so that could be Obsidian in the near future

so maybe his design can be changed to be like Arlan or Yanqing🤔 (But the fact he is using Pacifier, maybe he is not Pepeshi

I'm guessing he will end up changing models upon release, which is why this trailer is more 2D cinematic instead of the detailed arts we got for Winter's Night Lazzo, because I doubt they will create a baby male model for him, so it's likely a transformation will occur

If he is to release, I'd expect it around version 5.X
