Hoyoverse files a subpoena against Twitter to reveal the information about leakers

Twitter has recently seen an increased number of Genshin Impact leakers that have fostered a large number of Genshin Impact fanbase following. But, it seems the recent "doomposting" of the upcoming character Dehya was the final straw for Hoyoverse.

Dehya is a new pyro claymore five-star character coming in patch 3.5, and a new four-star cryo polearm character called Mika. While Mika has received mostly positive reviews, the changes made to Dehya and how her kit has been administered have enraged the players waiting for Dehya since her first appearance in update 3.0.

Due to the negative feedback from many players, many who follow the meta have already decided and are not pulling for Dehya. Many players on social media have already decided to skip the entire first phase of update 3.5, where Dehya is scheduled to run alongside Cyno as the second five-star character banner.

The most recent and up-to-date leaks have been flooding in on Twitter, which has prompted Hoyoverse to take action against the leakers. The developers at Hoyoverse have filed a subpoena against Twitter, asking them to release the information of the three Twitter users responsible for leaking a lot of future content of Genshin Impact recently.

Stephen Totilo, the co-author at Axios Gaming, recently Tweeted the official subpoena clearly stating what identifying information Hoyoverse needs from Twitter.

Hoyoverse has demanded identifying information such as names, phone numbers, IP addresses, or any other identifying information for XWides, Merlin Impact, and Genshin World. This is not the first time the three leakers have had a run-in with Hoyoverse. Hoyoverse previously had them remove leaked content, claiming it infringed developers' copyright for Genshin Impact.

The latest action from Hoyoverse is not only because of the recent Dehya leaks but one of the major contributing factors, including a massive leak that occurred just a few months ago. In the leak, a lot of planned content was leaked that showed new character designs planned for the game's next region, Fontaine. It also had a detailed roadmap up to update 4.0.

Fontaine will be the next region in Genshin Impact which will feature the Hydro Archon and follow the Traveler's journey through the supposedly France-inspired region. Fontaine is not expected until at least late Summer, so having critical leaks about the region this early will definitely be a cause of concern for the developers at Hoyoverse.

The subpoena might slow down the new leaks, but it certainly won't end it. Leakers will always find a way to leak information about the upcoming Genshin Impact content. However, for now, fans can rejoice as the new 3.5 update is just a day away, which is to bring the new characters, Dehya and Mika. The new patch will also include the return of the much-awaited Mondstadt's Windblume Festival and the new Archon Quest featuring Dainsleif.
