The Genshin Impact community has long debated one big theory: is Paimon actually the Unknown God? It started as just a fan idea, but recent clues from the game’s new interlude teaser make it feel a lot more believable. The teaser shows a scene where the Four Shades gather, but one important character is missing — Asmoday, better known as the Unknown God.
Her absence isn’t just a minor detail. One of the Shades suspects she’s no longer loyal to her side. Another character, Ronova, makes a strong statement that she “loves her new master more than herself.” That line has fans thinking hard. Who is this new master? Could it be the Traveler?
This theory gets more interesting when you remember how close Paimon is to the Traveler. She’s there from the beginning, knows a lot about the world, and always sticks around even when things get dangerous. If Paimon is actually the Unknown God in disguise, maybe she switched sides after meeting the Traveler and learning about their journey.
While there’s still no official confirmation from the developers, these clues are strong enough to keep the theory alive. Paimon’s true identity may be hidden for now, but it’s clear that the story is heading toward a big reveal. Until then, fans will keep digging, watching every teaser, and looking for signs that Paimon is more than just a floating companion. This isn’t just a wild theory anymore — it might be the real deal.
