Images of the upcoming character Arlecchino, a member of the notorious Fatui Harbingers, have been leaked in the latest Genshin Impact update. The Eleven Harbingers are renowned for their immense power and loyalty to the Fatui organization, one of the game's primary antagonists. The Harbingers' appearance was first unveiled in the "A Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer by HoYoverse, sparking a flurry of speculation from players about which ones would be included in the official narrative. Recently, Tartaglia and Wanderer joined the roster of playable characters, further fueling excitement among fans.
New images of Arlecchino's model in Genshin Impact were recently leaked on the game's subreddit. Fans were particularly intrigued by the unusual design of the character's boots in the first image. The second image focused on Arlecchino's head model, which some players noted looked different from her appearance in the official trailer. However, this may be due to the poor quality of the leaked images, and players can expect her to look similar to the character in the trailer. In the game's storyline, Arlecchino is also known as "The Knave" and runs an orphanage called the House of Heart in Snezhnaya. The orphanage is well-known for raising many members of the Fatui organization. Despite taking orders from the Tsaritsa, Arlecchino has been revealed to not be entirely loyal to the Cryo Archon.
It has been rumored that Arlecchino will play a pivotal role in the upcoming Fontaine Archon Quest, where she will be accompanied by fellow Harbinger, Columbina. Although there has been no official confirmation from HoYoverse, reliable sources have indicated that Arlecchino holds the fourth spot in Fatui Harbingers' power ranking. Furthermore, leaked information suggests that Columbina is even more powerful than Arlecchino, which is supported by Childe's voice line indicating that he wouldn't engage in a fight with her despite his love for combat. Players can anticipate one of them becoming a playable character, as every Archon chapter has introduced a Harbinger to the roster. Fans will likely have to wait until the 4.0 beta to learn more about Arlecchino's role in Fontaine's main storyline.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
