HoYoverse debuted a new Genshin Impact trailer highlighting the Fontaine region and many of the RPG’s upcoming characters. Three of them even got official reveals on the Genshin Impact Twitter account, though if you’ve been following the game’s many leaks, you may recognize some of the others.
Taking center stage are Lyney and Lynette, two magicians trying their hardest to put on a good show for the people of Fontaine – and the Fatui’s Knave, Arlecchino, who seems to have plans for the siblings. Their brother Frenimet also makes an appearance, albeit in a more sinister fashion, as he appears to be drowning beneath the waves.
Lyney has a Pyro vision, while Lynette wields Anemo, and Frenimet has a Cryo vision. HoYoverse introduced all three on the game’s official Twitter account, so it’s safe to assume we’ll be seeing them in the Genshin Impact 4.0 banners.
Also included in the trailer are the judge Neuvillete, voiced by Ray Chase; Furina, the Hydro Archon, voiced by Amber Lee Connors; Navia the Geo wielder in a witch’s outfit, brought to life by Brenna Larsen; and Charlotte the budding photographer, voiced by Maya Aoki Tuttle. We also see a brief glimpse of the roguish Wriothesley (Joe Zieja) and the pint-sized Sigewinee (Sarah Williams). The trailer description mentions several more, though we weren’t able to identify them in the material shown.
Fontaine itself seems to be an exciting blend of glamour and deception, with technology and entertainment coexisting in a land where truth hides behind layers of illusions – not exactly what you’d expect from the realm of justice.
We have a while yet before we’ll set foot in Fontaine. Genshin Impact 4.0 launches in August, following version 3.8 and the return of both Eula and the summer festival.
