Genshin Impact's latest version update finally brings Charlotte and Furina!

After much anticipation, Genshin Impact Version 4.2 is finally coming on November 8, and it will add two new characters along with more story content.

Specifically, this new update will introduce Furina, the Hydro Archon, and Charlotte, a reporter. The update will also continue the events of the main story that began from  Version 4.0 where the people of Fontaine will face unprecedented crises.

To give you a better idea of what to expect, check out the Version 4.2 trailer here:

The highlight of any new Genshin Impact update is no doubt the addition of new characters. To start, Version 4.2 will feature the Hydro Archon Furina, a five-star Hydro sword user. In combat, Furina can switch between two Arkhe alignments, meaning she can attack or heal. She also has an Elemental Burst that can provide either damage or healing bonuses for her team.

Meanwhile, the reporter Charlotte combines her photography skills with combat. She can also heal allies, as well as put out Cryo damage within a field.

 

As for the story, the new update’s story content is described as:

“Fontaine is on the brink of destruction in the upcoming Archon Quest. The nation needs all hands on deck, even the Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino, as the Primordial Seawater which can dissolve all Fontainians comes dangerously close to submerging the nation. The approaching waters are also awakening formidable enemies as well as fearsome monsters. Travelers will face the All-Devouring Narwhal, the new weekly boss that deals massive AoE attacks, as well as The Foul who resides within. Meanwhile, another boss, the Hydro Tulpa, has also emerged from its slumber. It possesses the unique ability to buff itself during combat by absorbing Half-Tulpas.”

Finally, the update will extend Fontaine’s map to the east to Erinnyes Forest and Morte Region. There will also be other additions in the update, including special mini-games and exclusive bonuses.

Genshin Impact Version 4.2 will be launched on all platforms on November 8. For more info, visit the official website.
