Excitement is brewing in the Genshin Impact community. Not only has Fontaine's most renowned fashion designer, Chiori, finally received her first banner in Version 4.5, but credible leaks have revealed the next characters who will occupy the banners in the upcoming Version 4.6 update and beyond.
It comes as no surprise that the highly anticipated Fontaine update has propelled Genshin Impact to new heights. With its newly-introduced diving mechanic and underwater exploration, as well as expanding the lore of Teyvat, players have been in a treat! However, perhaps what excites players the most is the intriguing and diverse cast of characters that will make their debut during the Fontaine cycle!
To shed some light on the upcoming playable characters, we have compiled a banner schedule for your reference, based on previous patterns and credible leaks.
Genshin Impact 4.6 banners leaked
Arlecchino, Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers hailing from the land of Cryo, Snezhnaya, will receive a banner in Phase 1 of Version 4.6, following her record-breaking drip marketing reveal. Version 4.6 is set to be released on 24 April 2024, if there are no unprecedented delays.
In a groundbreaking trailer released back in July 2022, HoYoverse gave fans a glimpse at eight of the remaining Fatui Harbingers of Snezhnaya, including the white-haired Arlecchino. The iconic red exes in her eyes and her enigmatic personality have since captivated the attention of Genshin fans.
Although brief, Arlecchino's chilling in-game appearances in the Fontaine Archon Quest only heightened the community's anticipation for her banner debut. A looming threat that permeates the narrative, Arlecchino's first banner is sure to shake the stage!
According to rumours, Arlecchino will be the only new 5-star character in Version 4.6, setting the stage for exciting rerun banners featuring her disciple, Lyney, in Phase 1, and the ex-Harbinger, Wanderer, and owner of Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu, in Phase 2.
