Highlights

  • Arlecchino dominated Genshin Impact sales with over 95% revenue, surpassing all expectations.
  • Two Pyro characters on same banner reflect their in-game relationship.
  • Genshin Impact update 4.7 brings a Furina re-run, while Version 5.0 introduces new Natlan region and characters.

A new Genshin Impact chart has revealed the significant sales difference between Arlecchino and Lyney. The game's updates are divided into two parts, each of which features two five-star and three four-star characters for a limited period, usually around three weeks.

Arlecchino has been one of the most anticipated characters in Genshin Impact due to the role of the main villain throughout the Fontaine storyline. The two Pyro users were featured in the first banner cycle of the ongoing Genshin Impact Version 4.6, alongside a decent four-star lineup featuring Lynette, Freminet, and Xiangling.

Genshin Impact Leaks Stats About Emilie's Signature Weapon

A new Genshin Impact leak reveals details about a signature weapon used by a new five-star character, Emilie, who's expected to arrive in update 4.8.

The double banner gacha mechanic allows players to pull for two different Genshin Impact five-star characters at the same time. A new chart on the popular stats website Paimon.moe has revealed the large difference between Arlecchino's and Lyney's overall revenue. According to the chart, Arlecchino's sales account for over 95% of the banner's total revenue, which is a new record for Genshin Impact's banners. While a significant revenue discrepancy was expected, fans did not expect Arlecchino's sales numbers to be so dominant compared to Lyney's.

Even though Arlecchino was released late in April, the sales bump was enough for Genshin Impact to overtake Honkai: Star Rail and become the most successful mobile game in April, at least when it comes to revenue. Another revenue spike is expected to occur in June, as HoYoverse confirmed the release of three new characters: Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos. Even though the new roster additions will be spread over two banner cycles, both parts of the update will drop in the next month.

Genshin Impact Version 4.7 Release Date

The first banner cycle for Genshin Impact Version 4.7 is scheduled for June 5, while Phase 2 is expected to arrive around June 25. The recent livestream event confirmed that Phase 2 will feature a re-run for the most popular Fontaine character, the five-star Hydro Archon Furina. There is a chance that many players will save up their precious Primogems for Version 5.0, which will officially introduce the new Natlan region along with its playable characters.

Developer HoYoverse symbolically featured the two Pyro characters on the same banner due to their in-game relationship. According to Genshin Impact's official storyline, Arlecchino is the manager of a famous orphanage named House of Hearts, which raised many notable characters including Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet. When it comes to Arlecchino's power, she is rumored to be one of the most powerful Harbingers in the Fatui faction.
