Genshin Impact new characters in the 3.3 update and beyond

Want to know about new Genshin Impact characters? During each new update, there’s usually at least one banner with a minimum of one brand-new character. The banners feature characters with increased drop rates, including one five-star character and three four-star characters.

While we know which characters are likely to appear on the next Genshin Impact banners, the characters featured in this guide might not be playable right now but they can be found in Genshin Impact right now. We’ve also included some characters who are rumoured to join the free PC game down the line but may not have an in-game model right now. While none of this information is official until Hoyoverse says otherwise, here’s a round-up of all of the current rumours and speculation.

The new and upcoming Genshin Impact characters are:

Genshin Impact 3.3 characters

Scaramouche

Scaramouche is No. 6 of the Fatui’s Eleven Harbingers; he introduces himself as a ‘vagrant from Inazuma’ who attempts to betray and kill the Traveler during the Unreconciled Stars event: Star of Destiny. He has been officially announced by Hoyoverse with the name ‘Wanderer’. You can find out everything you need to know about The Wanderer with our Scaramouche banner release date guide.

Faruzan

Hoyoverse has announced Faruzan, described as an ‘Enigmatic Machinist’ and Haravatat Household Name. She has the Anemo element and has arrived in 3.3 update. Check out everything we know about Faruzan’s banner.

Upcoming Genshin Impact characters

Alhaitham

While Alhaitham was initially discovered in June 2022 under a different codename, he was officially revealed in the third Sumeru preview video as being involved in the initial 3.0 storyline. Apparently, you meet him “by chance” in Port Ormos, and he’s from the ruling body in Sumeru, the Akademiya. Alhaitham has been confirmed to arrive in the 3.4 update as the main five-star character.

Yaoyao

Yaoyao is an adorable NPC who is mentioned in several characters’ voice lines. She was previously Xiangling’s junior when they both studied under the same master chef, but has now become an assistant for Ganyu. The 3.4 livestream confirmed Yaoyao is in fact a four-star character and she will be obtainable for free as part of the Latern Rite event.

Deyha

Rumours around Deyha are highly speculative at the moment, but the one thing we do know is that she will be involved in the initial Sumeru storyline for the 3.0 update. Deyha is “desertfolk”, and a mercenary working for the Ermites, a new faction coming to Genshin Impact who are descended from an ancient desert-dwelling civilisation. Genshin leaker Mero claims we won’t see Dehya “before” update 3.4, and there is disagreement over her rarity.

 

Dainsleif

Dainsleif, the Bough Keeper, was officially announced by Hoyoverse during the 2020 Tokyo Game Show – however, no release date was attached. His voice actor has been announced, but we have no indication of when he might arrive.

Dainsleif is from Khaenri’ah, an underground realm that is not part of Teyvat itself – so perhaps one day in the future we’ll meet Dainsleif when we explore his homeland.

 

Baizhu

Baizhu is a Genshin Impact NPC, and is the owner of Bubu Pharmacy in Liyue. He possesses a Dendro vision, which has led fans to believe that he may one day be a playable character.

Lyney and Lynette

Lyney and Lynette were revealed in the same storyline preview video – they’re a pair of twins, presumably, who are dressed like magicians – they hail from Fontaine, a region inspired by France. There’s speculation that they could be recruited as a pair and can switch places with one another in battle – though that may be nothing more than a cool idea.

Iansan

Iansan was also revealed in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline video, in the Natlan section. We believe she’s a Pyro user, but we’ll have to wait until we visit Natlan to find out more about her.

These are all the new Genshin Impact characters that we believe have a reasonable chance of turning up in-game – we’ll add new candidates as we discover them. In the meantime, here are the best Genshin Impact characters for beginners, and the best Genshin Impact weapons to kit them out with.
