Version 4.6 of Genshin Impact is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated updates in the 4.x update line and it is due to no other reason than the upcoming release of Arlecchino. After the official confirmation of Arlecchino’s status as an upcoming playable character, and the leaks we have seen from the beta for 4.6, players have no shortage of hype in their anticipation for her. But when is Genshin Impact 4.6 releasing and what will be the banners that release alongside Arlecchino? Let’s take a look.
Genshin Impact 4.6 Release Date Expectations
Based on the current update schedule, players can expect the Genshin Impact 4.6 update to arrive on 24 April 2024, at 11 am (UTC +8). This corresponds to 23 April 2024, in the Americas and 24 April 2024, in Europe and Asia. Alongside the update, players will receive 600 Primogems as compensation.
Expected Banners
Leaked information suggests that Arlecchino will headline one of the Event Banners in version 4.6. Joining her are Lyney, Wanderer, and Baizhu, all of whom are expected to receive rerun banners. The exact order of the banners is still unknown, but Arlecchino's banner could be available in either the first or second phase of the update.
Character Line-up for Banners
Arlecchino (5-star Pyro Polearm)
Lyney (5-star Pyro Bow)
Wanderer (5-star Anemo Catalyst)
Baizhu (5-star Dendro Catalyst)
If Arlecchino is released in the first phase of version 4.6, players can expect her banner to be available on 24 April 2024. However, if she is part of the second phase, players can expect her banner to be available on 14 May 2024.
While these characters are currently slated for the 4.6 banners, HoYoverse has a history of making last-minute changes. Players should stay tuned for official announcements and be prepared for potential adjustments to the lineup.
Leaked Arlecchino Kit
Leaked details and showcases of Arlecchino’s kit, including her abilities, talents and signature weapons are already out and she is very unique to say the least. Arlecchino transforms her signature weapon into a scythe with her Skill and can perform attacks with it. She also has arguably one of the coolest looking bursts in the game. For more details you can read out coverage of Arlecchino’s Leaked Kit from the Genshin Impact 4.6 beta.
