HoYoverse works hard, but the fans work even harder, especially when it comes to discovering every last bit of information they can about Genshin Impact’s characters. I’ve compiled a list of the new characters that are rumored to be making an appearance, many of which will likely be available in upcoming version updates.

Keep in mind that most of these details are based on speculation, lore, and leaks. Take them with a grain of salt and know that they do not reflect what will actually appear in the game.

Furina, the Hydro Archon, is an upcoming five-star Hydro sword wielder set to release in version 4.2. She is rumored to offer a fully loaded kit that leans toward her as a sub-DPS unit. Like other Archons, expectations for her performance are high, and beta testers have reportedly been pleased with her output so far.

Charlotte is a journalist for The Steambird, a publication based in Fontaine. She first appeared during the Genius Invokation TCG Grand Prix and also encountered the Traveler during Fontaine's Archon Quest. She is confirmed as a four-star Cryo Catalyst user coming in version 4.2. Leakers have reported that her kit may be geared towards an Attack-scaling healer.
