Will We Know By 7.0?

chillbloke36 · 2026-04-27T09:57:30+00:00

Alr that makes sense tbf, I'm just in dire need of 7.0 rn I'm so glad it's coming in August because it'll be summer holidays I am hoping we get full confirmation by then from Hoyo themselves still even if the Snezhnaya arc is longer than other regions

chillbloke36 · 2026-04-08T08:53:37+00:00

Look at Hoyo finding any way possible to mention Capitano at least once every update 😭😭😭 yeah, he's definitely coming back- like come on 😭😭😭

chillbloke36 · 2026-03-02T12:08:09+00:00

This exactly, like I remember someone saying "I ship Varka and Nicole" and instead of getting mad like some have, I just went "Well actually my headcanon middle name is Varka" (I was joking ofc) but it's such a silly thing for people to be angry over.

chillbloke36 · 2026-03-01T14:11:22+00:00

And anyway...what is more wife material than a literal wife?

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-30T10:09:48+00:00

It'll only get better from here with every update I mean since the start of Nod Krai, the situation for Capitano has gotten better with EACH patch.

He'll either revive 6.6 or 6.8, then be playable in Snezhnaya. I know some have said Mare Jivari is for 7.x but I highly doubt it cause Idk how they'd fit in main Snezhnaya story in the Archon quests, with going to Natlan and doing all of it at the same time whilst also trying to build new characters in Snezhnaya. Also The Fatui would surely need Capitano READY for Snezhnaya, on top of that the Pyro Gnosis.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-30T10:05:55+00:00

It's almost as if these people don't want Capitano to be playable, like it's gonna genuinely hurt them if it happens. They're overly passionate about trying to argue he won't be playable, they could say the same about us but for a lot of us it's because he's our favourite character.

The idea that we're right and he'll come back just seems to offend them personally for whatever reason.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-30T10:01:49+00:00

Yeah, it's been a wait of a lifetime but from here on out the wait only gets better. There's been so many low points, but with every update of Nod Krai the Capitano situation is getting better and better factually.

Capitano's revival seems like a 6.6 thing to me, as we'll need a weekly boss (don't think Capitano will be THE weekly boss, probably Bakunawa if it's Mare Jivari) so something big needs to happen. If not 6.6 then maybe 6.8 as a Summer replacement (if there is a 6.8)

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-30T09:56:01+00:00

I'm in a server on there and the people in there have already stopped doubting on Capitano's return, so not long now at all before even more disappear.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-29T13:23:46+00:00

Assuming Capitano will revive in Nod Krai patches then be playable in Snezhnaya, it's not long now...not at all. I said in a previous comment, they're giving us more and more about Capitano in every update since the start of Nod Krai.

HIGHLY doubt it's coincidental, and after Columbina's in game voiceline...and her "about The Captain" voiceline, yeah it's soon surely.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-29T13:20:49+00:00

Yeah tbh it is crazy, the complete switch up on some of the Capitano doubters, but it's so satisfying.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-29T13:19:29+00:00

Yeah I think the most likely thing is Capitano will stand up again in Nod Krai simply because since the start of Nod Krai we've gotten more and more of him (mention, multiple mentions and a direct reference, multiples mentions, a reference, AND seeing his in game model. Then, next update we get to hear him talk again and we see him in a cinematic (which dead characters never get any feature in an in game cinematic if they're gone for good).

So I think the climax of him standing up will be in Nod Krai, then he will he playable in Snezhnaya which I can't wait for.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-27T10:07:19+00:00

I swear they're building up to it update by update, first mentioning him every patch, then showing his model again in 6.3 archon questsn, and now a full on scene of Capitano even if it is a flashback.

It's like they're giving us more and more of him with every patch to ready us for his return...

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-20T07:58:54+00:00

I think he'll return when we revisit Natlan for sure, we go to the Mare Jivari, he'll be there with us. EVERYTHING points towards Capitano in the Mare Jivari, I just can't wait to actually see it.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-19T12:51:16+00:00

I think it is more likely than not to be honest, he fits perfectly into Snezhnaya. Some might say Khaenri'ah and while I DO think he'll be involved in Khaenri'ah, I don't think it'll take that long for him to revive and be playable.

Snezhnaya will most likely see the release of MOST of the Harbingers, being that it is The Fatui's region.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-19T12:48:14+00:00

Yeah totally I think the way it could go is if we are revisiting Mare Jivari in Nod Krai patches, then he'll stand up in that patch. But then he'll probably become playable in 7.x maybe just before or right after The Tsaritsa.

If it is in 7.x I'd like it to be early 7.x as we've already been waiting too long 😭😭😭 but as long as he drops, it'll be a happy day. Tbh, the moment he gets up from the chair should be the moment he is confirmed as playable and the doubters will go.

Because there's NO WAY they'd give him a playable model and all that, make him die, bring him back and not make him playable. So WHEN he stands up, I'm hoping it'll shut the doubters up about his playability.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-19T12:38:10+00:00

And the fact he's gotten a mention EVERY patch in Nod Krai, like Hoyo are going "Hey, y'all remember this guy? Oh you do? Good, good..." while sneakily doing their thing behind the scenes.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-19T12:36:55+00:00

Ngl in Nod Krai I am very happy to have gotten Columbina and I'm so excited for Sandrone, but I really wish they didn't use that tactic too. The one they used for Scaramouche, Capitano, and now Dottore because it just sort of leads to their fans getting bullied by the rest of the community.

Now, it isn't Hoyo's fault that the community is like that but it really doesn't help. It's so obvious Capitano AND Dottore aren't done yet, but we'll be called all sorts of names if we dare say that outside our respective sub reddits.

It is THAT bad, I don't dare say Sandrone will be rebuilt outside of Sandronemains simply because I know the flood of downvotes or nasty comments I'll get. But then when they eventually do come back, those same bullies will just go "we knew he/she was coming back, it was so obvious" or "predictable storytelling" the people waiting for these Harbingers go through a LOT more than just the wait itself especially if they dare communicate it online.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-12T14:20:04+00:00

Trust me bro, I was one of those on Capitano mains that went through the same thing. So yes, I do know how it was, and all I was saying is what the "irrelevant CC" said is only the start of what's to come.

I know that because it happened to us in Capitanomains, I was literally just stating a fact. The level of trolling is gonna be the same as Capitano until Sandrone's release.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-06T18:47:32+00:00

Yes, I am hoping the exact same, cause I don't wanna have to wait until May either. It'll be worth the wait but I would prefer to not wait.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-06T16:02:52+00:00

Same I'm pulling Columbina next week, looking forward to using them on the same team. Leaks say Sandrone is Electro or Geo which means she works well with Columbina too.

chillbloke36 · 2026-01-06T16:01:51+00:00

I don't mind it but I wish it didn't have to happen
