Highlights
Genshin Impact fans are intrigued by the absence of a Vision for the upcoming character Neuvillette in the Version 4.1 update.
In Version 4.0, Genshin Impact will bring forth fresh areas, new characters, and a revisited event wish showcasing Liyue character Yelan. Fans are bustling with speculation about Neuvillette's actual identity, with theories hinting at links to Fontaine's Hydro Dragon and a potential association with Natlan.
Fans of Genshin Impact have observed that there is no reference to Neuvillette, a highly-anticipated new playable character, and their Vision in the upcoming Version 4.1 update. Although Version 4.0 is about to be released, HoYoverse is already hinting at what might be included in the subsequent update later this year.
Continuing the adventure of the Traveler and Paimon, Genshin Impact Version 4.0 will enable players to explore the region of Fontaine and progress the main storyline. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to summon new characters specific to the region, such as Lyney and Lynette. Furthermore, the beloved Liyue character, Yelan, will make a comeback in a featured event wish in Version 4.0. In anticipation of the launch of Version 4.0, HoYoverse has also teased the introduction of Neuvillette and Wriothesley in Version 4.1, leading fans to speculate on what the upcoming update may bring.
Genshin Impact enthusiast Jamesdeus17 noticed that HoYoverse has deliberately left out any reference to Neuvillette possessing a Vision in the official character description. Despite being a playable Hydro character in Genshin Impact Version 4.1, Neuvillette's Vision and Constellation information remains hidden under question marks by HoYoverse. This has led players to believe that this new character might possess the ability to manipulate elements similar to the Traveler. Additionally, some fans have theorized that the designation of Neuvillette as the "only male Melusine" could potentially serve as a disguise for his true identity within Fontaine.
According to Reddit user VersustheV, fans speculate that Neuvillette is actually Fontaine's Hydro Dragon, a divine creature comparable to Mondstadt's Anemo Dragon Dvalin. It is possible that HoYoverse purposely conceals specific details about Neuvillette, intending to unveil his true nature in Genshin Impact Version 4.1. Furthermore, fans believe that Neuvillette may possess a Gnosis, similar to Scaramouche during the Sumeru storyline. Some fans are also intrigued by the mention of Xbalanque, a figure from real-world Mayan myths, in Neuvillette's description, as it could potentially indicate connections to Natlan, the region where the Pyro Dragon is situated.
Neuvillette, a character in Genshin Impact's lore, remains mysterious, leaving room for speculation until Version 4.0 is released. As Neuvillette is a playable character, his dedicated story quest may shed light on his backstory. The main story of Genshin Impact Version 4.0 may also address fans' questions about Neuvillette before the release of Version 4.1.
However, players should wait for official details from HoYoverse, as Version 4.1 is still more than a month away. Genshin Impact Version 4.0 will launch on August 16, followed by the expected release of the next update in late September. More information about Neuvillette is likely to be shared by HoYoverse before the launch of Version 4.1.
Genshin Impact is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
