A recent leak in Genshin Impact has provided further details about Arlecchino, one of the upcoming characters. Arlecchino was initially introduced in the well-known "A Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer, which showcased the arrival of the notorious Harbingers affiliated with the Fatui organization.
In Fontaine's latest promotional video, Arlecchino is portrayed as the primary antagonist, indicating that she will have a significant role in the upcoming Archon Quest. Over the past few weeks, numerous fans have engaged in debates regarding whether this character will eventually become a playable option.
Although Fatui Harbingers are notorious for being some of the most villainous characters in the game, HoYoverse manages to find a way to convert some of them to the side of good and make them playable. Genshin Impact's main storyline has introduced several Harbingers to the game, including Tartaglia, La Signora, Dottore, and Wanderer. Currently, only Tartaglia and Wanderer have joined the playable roster, indicating that not all Harbingers will become playable in the future. Recent leaks suggest that the latest addition to the playable roster will be Arlecchino, the third Harbinger to join.
Official information about this playable character is scarce, but it is known that she is in charge of the renowned House of Hearts orphanage in Snezhnaya. Genshin Impact rumors suggest that Arlecchino will be a Pyro character, and many fans speculate that her design implies she will likely wield a sword. However, it is possible that the playable version of Arlecchino may have different elements and weapons than initially assumed.
The inclusion of a new character named Wanderer, formerly known as Scaramouche, has generated excitement among fans. In the past, Wanderer was associated with the Electro element while working for the Fatui. Fans are eagerly anticipating the display of Arlecchino's abilities, as leaked information suggests that she is the fourth most powerful Harbinger in Genshin Impact.
The conclusion of a recent promotional video has left many players puzzled regarding Arlecchino's relationship with Lyney and Lynette. Speculation has arisen that these two characters might be undercover Fatui agents in Fontaine. However, obtaining further information about Arlecchino's background may require some patience, as the release of Genshin Impact update 4.0, which will introduce Fontaine, is scheduled for August.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
