New leaks of Genshin Impact's Version 4.2 update, expected to release in early November, are hinting at a lineup of events. With Version 4.1 update launching soon, fans are already looking forward to the game's next version. Earlier this week, HoYoverse confirmed the highly-anticipated launch of Furina for Version 4.2, along with a new four-star character, Charlotte. The update will also bring multiple re-runs and various events to the game.
Though HoYoverse has not yet officially revealed any content for Version 4.2, leaks have already started teasing what's to come. These leaks suggest a new expansion to Fontaine's map, introducing another harbor and a rumored new weekly boss. The Archon Quest for the update also indicates a significant change in Furina's status within the Hydro region. Version 4.2 appears to be filled with exciting limited-time content for players to enjoy.
A post from renowned Genshin Impact leaker Genshin Intel has summarized the lineup of events planned for Version 4.2. The highlight of the update is said to be a battle event featuring Thelxie, an NPC who has yet to be revealed. Players will have the opportunity to obtain a free copy of the four-star character Freminet from Version 4.0 as a reward. Additionally, the update will bring back popular events such as "Kurious Kamera" and "Misty Dungeon," along with the latest edition of the recurring "Fungi" events in Genshin Impact. Rumors suggest that Version 4.2 will also introduce Skirk, a new non-playable character believed to be Childe's master.
In addition to the lineup of events, the leak also provides new details about the two recently unveiled featured characters for Version 4.2. Reports suggest that Furina will have the ability to utilize both the Pneuma and Ousia elements of Genshin Impact's new Arkhe system. She can switch between the two elements using her Charged Attack. Furthermore, Charlotte has been confirmed as an Ousia-aligned character and will join the game as a Cryo Catalyst user. Version 4.2 is slated for release on November 8.
Version 4.1 offers players numerous opportunities to save up for their most anticipated characters. The update includes various events, such as the "Waterborne Poetry" event, which takes players back to Mondstadt and Liyue for a joint poetry festival. Additionally, Version 4.1 will introduce this year's anniversary rewards, including two campaigns that grant players up to 10 Intertwined Fates and 1600 Primogems. With an abundance of events on the horizon, Genshin Impact players should have no trouble accumulating plenty of Primogems.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
