Genshin Impact 4.0 Trailer
During the livestream event on August 4, 2023, a brand new trailer for the 4.0 upgrade was presented. The 5-minute video features brand-new characters in action, as well as a few of the locales players, can explore around the Fontaine region. You can see the trailer below-
Genshin Impact 4.0 Banners
The first part of the Genshin Impact 4.0 banners will feature the Fontaine siblings Lyney and Lynette, as well as Yelan. Lyney is a 5-star Pyro Bow user, and Lynette is an Anemon Sword user, according to the leaks. Zhongli and Tartaglia will appear in the second half.
In terms of the four stars who could feature on the flag, we’re betting on Charolette and Freminet, as well as a few old four stars who could supplement Lyney’s powers (Xingqui, Bennett).

Genshin Impact 4.0 Upcoming Characters
The upcoming characters pertaining to the new region are one of the things that players look forward to the most in new versions, and while a large number of 4.0 characters have leaked, the majority of them will arrive as the Fontaine story progresses, and a large number of them will arrive in the subsequent 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 updates.

In addition, we’ll see Focalors, Childe, Navia, Neuvilette, Charolette, and Chloride in the Archon quest, which is set to run three iterations till 4.2. The Hydro Archon nicknamed Focalors aka Furine will be a sword user and a support/buff character that will debut soon in the 4.2 releases.
According to Arlecchino’s filename
We think she should be a playable character.
Use Sword.
We think the previous rumors are wrong.#Genshinleaks #GenshinImapct

Again, because the information was leaked nearly four months before Fontaine, which is ample time for Hoyoverse to change the path of character releases, we recommend you take it with a grain of salt. Navia appears to have a significant role to play in the Archon quest.

Navia appears to have a significant role to play in the Archon quest.
She’s said to be a Sworld-wielding 5-star character with Pyro delusion. yet, there is currently insufficient evidence to suggest that she will be a playable character; yet, given Hoyoverse’s track record, she could be playable in 4.6 or 4.7 updates, implying that she will not be playable this year.
Other leaks and rumours provide some narrative and gameplay details regarding Arlecchino and the Fatui Harbingers’ destiny. Some recent TC (Theorycrafting) people think that the Northern region of Mondstadt, which was supposed to be released in Genshin Impact 4.3 (based on leaks), may be postponed.
It will be replaced instead by Port Baydha in Sumeru, which would transport us to Fontaine. Fontaine can be approached in a variety of ways, as numerous NPCs have recommended.
Arlecchino will be playable, according to TC, while the rest of the lineup is still a bit hazy. AHQ expects that not all Harbingers will be added to the playable pool and that some will die in Genshin Impact 4.0. A leak claims that her equipment will be related to “puppeteering.”
The 4.0 live stream revealed little about characters other than the sibling trio, so we’ll have to rely on leaks about the Hydro Traveller. Hydro Traveler’s kit has leaked from a credible source, and it appears to be rather promising.
During the last Lantern Rite in version 3.4, the stories of Madame Ping, Guizhong, and Cloud Retainer were disclosed, and gamers quickly demanded playable Madame Ping, Cloud Retainer, and Guizhong characters. Players that wished for the same thing, rejoice! According to “Hutao Lover” and Uncle, the three of them will be playable later in the game.
