HoYoverse announced via social media channels that two new characters will be coming toGenshin Impact:Wriothesley and Neuvillette.
What do we know about Wriothesley and Neuvillette?
Wriothesley (apparently pronounced “rizz-ly” or “rise-ly”) has a Cryo Vision and is the Lord of the Fortress of Meropide, which is some sort ofprison at the bottom of the sea. He is Ousia-aligned; although his previous character art showed him with a Pneuma Vision shape, this was swiftlycorrected. Aside from this, we know nothing about his weapon or kit, and will have to wait for further announcements to see how he plays.
Neuvillette is much more mysterious, with some of his informationcensored with triple question marks. We do know that he is the Chief Justice of Fontaine andsome kind of father figureto the Melusines. He is likely very important to the main story inGenshin Impact, which would give a reason for all the secrecy. Neuvillette uses Hydro, but not through a Vision. What exactly he is and how he uses his powers are a great mystery, possibly with answers in upcoming Archon Quests.
When are Wriothesley and Neuvillette coming to Genshin Impact?
Drip marketing like this usually comes in two versions before the characters are released. This means we can expect Wriothesley and Neuvillette sometime in Version 4.1 ofGenshin Impact. Whether they will be in the first half or second remains to be seen, along with who will accompany their banners.
