Genshin Impact has officially announced that Charlotte and Furina will be added to the game in the upcoming 4.2 update, scheduled for release in November. As the HoYoverse prepares for the release of its first update after the introduction of the Fontaine region, players can expect a lot of exciting content in the next patch. Version 4.1 will include the introduction of Fontaine's Fortress of Meropide area, along with two new characters, Neuvillette and Wriothesley, and a variety of new weapons. However, players are already getting a sneak peek at the lineup for the following update. Although HoYoverse hasn't released many details about Genshin Impact's Version 4.2 yet, rumors about the update have already generated a lot of excitement among players. It is strongly rumored that the update will bring one of Fontaine's most highly anticipated characters, Hydro Archon Furina, to the game. Furina has quickly become a favorite among Genshin Impact players due to her role in Fontaine's story, particularly her clash with the Traveler in the court of the Opera Epiclese. HoYoverse has now confirmed these rumors with its latest "drip marketing" reveals.
Genshin Impact's social media accounts have announced that two characters will be added to the game in Version 4.2. The first character, Furina, has been confirmed through a "drip marketing" post. Known as the Hydro Archon, Furina represents the element of justice. The release of Furina and Version 4.2 is expected to occur on November 8.
In addition to Furina, the game will also introduce another character named Charlotte in Version 4.2. Charlotte, who players are already familiar with, will join Genshin Impact as a Cryo character. She has been featured in Fontaine's story and made her first appearance during Version 3.7's flagship event. While Charlotte's rarity has not been disclosed, she is anticipated to debut as a four-star character.
Furina and Charlotte have been highly anticipated characters in Genshin Impact's newest region. Several popular characters have already debuted in the region, such as Lyney and his siblings in Version 4.0, as well as Wriothesley and Neuvillette. There are also rumors that many more characters from Fontaine's story, including Navia and Clorinde, will soon be added to Genshin Impact's roster. Furina's banner aims to replicate the success of Genshin Impact's previous Archons. Genshin Impact is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices, with a Switch version in development.
