Genshin Impact Reveals 4.6 Release Date with Cinematic Trailer

Genshin Impact shared a new trailer unveiling the April 24 release date of its version 4.6, «Two Worlds Aflame, the Crimson Night Fades.» Studio developer HoYoverse continues to expand upon the world of Teyvat with a new area, banner, and event to keep players on their toes. Most notably, a highly anticipated character, Arlecchino, is set to launch with a new banner for Genshin Impact 4.6's first phase.

With her first appearance in «Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: A Winter Night's Lazzo,» Arlecchino became one of the most anticipated characters among players, with fans of the Fourth of the eleven Fatui Harbingers taken in by her striking design and calculating personality. The community's excitement was only intensified with the addition of Fontaine in patch 4.0, which featured Arlecchino as an unlikely ally throughout the events of the main storyline. Though the Knave was not a recruitable character at the time, her manipulative demeanor and charismatic mannerisms still left a memorable impression on many of Genshin Impact's players.

Now, Arlecchino is set to finally make her banner debut with the upcoming version 4.6 as the third recruitable Fatui Harbinger after Tartaglia and Scaramouche. A trailer for the upcoming patch showcases the Knave in action, with both playable and hostile versions of the character integrating a mechanic called the Bond of Life to augment their attacks. The promotional video also confirms Arlecchino's banner and version 4.6 is set to launch in a few short weeks on April 24.

Apart from a new boss and recruitable character, version 4.6 will also notably add the Sea of Bygone Eras, an underwater area set in the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Remuria. With the assistance of a talking cat, players can explore a sunken castle and discover the lost history that led to the nation's destruction. In addition, Arataki Itto fans will likely be thrilled to know that the rambunctious oni is set to take center stage in 4.6's flagship event,
