Highlights

Arlecchino joins Genshin Impact as the third Fatui Harbinger, bringing a new Story Quest and Trounce Domain with her in Version 4.6.
Despite her villainous reputation, Arlecchino shows a soft spot for orphans and children, showcasing a complex character in the game.
Upcoming patches in Genshin Impact will introduce new characters like Clorinde and likely even Sethos and Sigewinne to the roster.

Following the debut of an animated short featuring Arlecchino, Genshin Impact has released a character teaser to herald the arrival of the third playable Fatui Harbinger to the Event Banners. Wanderer and Tartaglia will be joined by Arlecchino in Version 4.6, who will also launch with a Story Quest and Trounce Domain, in what many players consider to be one of the biggest updates in Genshin Impact history. She will accompany Lyney on the Event Banners in the first half of the patch, while the second half will feature Baizhu and Wanderer.

Ever since her first appearance in A Winter Night's Lazzo, fans have been excited about Arlecchino and the role she is destined to play in Genshin Impact's story. While many considered her to be a villainous character, as befits her rank of Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino proved to be an unlikely ally during Fontaine's Archon Quest in Version 4.2. Despite being ruthless and cold-blooded in her pursuit of justice, Arlecchino's darker side is tempered by an unconditional love for the orphans and adopted children of the House of the Hearth.

Genshin Impact Leaks 4-Star Characters for Version 4.6

A reliable source in the Genshin Impact community confirms which 4-Star characters will be accompanying Arlecchino in her debut banner in Version 4.6.

These qualities are perhaps no better encapsulated than in the character teaser for Arlecchino, where she treats a wounded member of the House of the Hearth, and exacts justice on a corrupt member of Fontaine's aristocracy. Arlecchino in Genshin Impact may belong to the primary faction of antagonists, but much like Tartaglia, it would seem that they share plenty of common ground with the Traveler as long as their agendas don't clash.

Despite Lyney being considered the heir apparent to the House of the Hearth, rather curiously, it's Freminet who makes an appearance in both the animated short and Arlecchino's character teaser. Given that Lyney and Lynette had their time in the spotlight during the Archon Quests in Fontaine, it's quite possible that Freminet in Genshin Impact will have his time to shine in Arlecchino's Story Quest when Version 4.6 launches.

Upcoming Characters and Story Content in Genshin Impact

With Natlan fast approaching, Arlecchino's Story Quest is expected to close out the overarching storyline in Fontaine, while Dainsleif is scheduled to make his annual appearance in Version 3.7. On top of introducing Clorinde to Genshin Impact as a playable character, Version 3.7 will also bring Sethos and likely even Sigewinne to the roster. Though details are currently scarce, Genshin Impact players will be able to find out more about the upcoming patch once Version 3.6 launches on April 24, 2024.
