Captivating Transformation: Genshin Impact Fan Reimagines Arlecchino for the Modern Era

A Genshin Impact fan has created a captivating modern design of the beloved character Arlecchino, who is part of the notorious Fatui organization. Arlecchino is among the eleven highly influential and powerful Fatui Harbringers, who are prominent antagonistic figures in the game.

The recent promotional video titled "Overture Teaser: The Final Feast" has generated immense excitement for Arlecchino. The teaser revealed her pivotal role as one of the primary antagonists in the forthcoming Genshin Impact storyline, particularly in Fontaine's Archon Chapter.

Arlecchino's popularity has sparked fans to incorporate this unique character into their fan-art. An intriguing piece was shared on Reddit by user SSGPanos, showcasing a contemporary twist on Arlecchino's attire. The community took notice, with the post receiving over 800 upvotes on the official Genshin Impact subreddit, and fans commending SSGPanos's meticulous attention to detail. Many fans speculate that future games from the HoYoverse, such as Zenless Zone Zero, may feature a character with a similar design. The developer has a history of drawing inspiration from their previous titles, as seen with Genshin Impact's Teyvat characters like Yae Miko, Raiden Shogun, Zhongli, and others having counterparts in the Honkai universe. Fans are hopeful that HoYoverse will make Arlecchino a playable character in the future, following the tradition of villains transforming into allies. This has been seen before with Tartaglia and Wanderer, who once served as Harbingers in Genshin Impact's main storyline. Wanderer, previously known as Scaramouche and The Balladeer, joined the playable roster in update 3.3.

There is a possibility that Arlecchino's playable version does not align with her villain form. For instance, Scaramouche was previously known as an Electro character during his Harbinger days before obtaining an Anemo Vision. Therefore, although Arlecchino is rumored to be a Pyro user currently, it is plausible that she may possess different elemental abilities before her first banner appearance.

The recent teaser video provided limited information about this character, but past quests have confirmed that Arlecchino has control over the renowned House of Hearts orphanage. According to a popular fan theory, there is a strong likelihood that the recently announced Lyney and Lynette were both raised in this Snezhnaya institution.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
