Arlecchino, one of the Fatui Harbingers introduced in Genshin Impact’s July 2022 story trailer, is coming to the open-world RPG in update 4.6, due April 23.
Developer Hoyoverse confirmed Arlecchino’s impending debut as a playable character earlier today. It seems Arlecchino will be the only new character in update 4.6, but that hasn’t stopped Genshin players from losing their minds.
“Fate grants favors to no one. Only those who would fight it with every ounce of their being may earn the right to challenge it."— Pierro, “The Jester”#GenshinImpact #GenshinImpact4ꓸ5 #Arlecchino◆ Name: Arlecchino◆ Title: Dire Balemoon◆ Head of the House of the Hearth… pic.twitter.com/YxKBbpSlpwMarch 11, 2024
“Fate grants favors to no one. Only those who would fight it with every ounce of their being may earn the right to challenge it."— Pierro, “The Jester”#GenshinImpact #GenshinImpact4ꓸ5 #Arlecchino◆ Name: Arlecchino◆ Title: Dire Balemoon◆ Head of the House of the Hearth… pic.twitter.com/YxKBbpSlpwMarch 11, 2024
In the lore snippetattachedto her reveal post, Arlecchino discusses other members of the House, collectively referred to as “children” while she herself is known as the “Father” of the house.
“Placing her cup back down, Arlecchino stood up, and in a calm, measured tone, called out several names: ‘Chapleau, you’re with Lyney. Retrieve the required intelligence. Foltz, you and Filliol are on guard duty. Stay back and tend to the Hearth…'”
Arlecchino will be Genshin Impact’s first new Pyro 5-star unit since Lyney in update 4.0. She’ll also be the game’s second-ever playable Fatui Harbinger (arguably third, accounting for Scaramouche, but that’s a whole can of worms), following in the footsteps of Tartaglia, or Childe, who was released way back in update 1.1 in November 2020. Her reveal is a welcome shot of excitement as Genshin gears up for six weeks of naptime with update 4.5, which is positioned as a filler patch with no major developments.
Oh no, here I go again:Genshin Impact dev’s new-again action RPG Honkai Impact 3rd gets Part 2 release.
