Every Leaked Character Expected to Release in Future Genshin Impact Updates
Alice is the mother of Klee, the Pyro Catalyst user, so many fans believe that Alice will be a Pyro Catalyst user like her daughter. Alice is also a known member of theHexenzirkel secret society. Not much is known about Nicole or Rhinedottir’s characters, besides that they are also members of the Hexenzirkel, and likely to use Catalyst weapons for this reason.
Wriothesley, also referred to as Risley, is shaping up to be either a Cryo or Pyro Polearm user. Fans who are familiar with HoYoverse’sHonkai: Star Railhave been pointing out how similar this character appears to the game’sSampo Koski character, though this raises as many questions as it answers for the time being.
Lyney and Lynette are anticipated to release in the very near future in the initial Fontaine region updates.

As the region’s official deity, Focalors, also known as Furina, is fully expected to be a five-star Hydro character. Certain leaks concerningFontaine’s Hydro Archonclaim that the character will be the first playable Hydro Claymore user inGenshin Impact, though this has been considered more of speculation than fully accurate.
Freminet is allegedly a four-star Cryo Claymore user, known to be a diver from Fontaine who will potentially serve as a guide for players to explorethe Fontaine region. Given this character’s speculated relevance in the region’s story and exploration, they are assumed to be released very early throughout the Fontaine series of updates.
Unlike a majority of the upcoming characters leaked forGenshin Impact, Charlotte is an existing character that will soon become available as a playable character. Charlotte is expected to be a Cryo user, and this character’s similarities toHonkai: Star Rail’s Charlotte point towardGenshin Impact’s Charlotte wielding a Bow.

Sertice is expected to be a four-star Pyro Sword user, thanks to leaks that have shown off the character’s recent file name and visual design.
