Genshin ImpactVersion 4.7 will feature three new playable characters, as Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos will join the rest of the cast in the upcoming update. As the Fontaine era slowly comes to a close inGenshin Impact, the 5-Star characters released during its patches will likely be remembered for providing new depth to old gameplay. New mechanics such as Hit Point fluctuation and the Bond of Life have come to define the Fontaine roster, whereas Navia reinvented Crystallize as an Elemental Reaction all by her lonesome.
In the first half of Fontaine, characters such as Lyney, Neuvillette, and Wriothesley introduced players to Hit Point fluctuation, with Neuvilette establishing himself as one of the best on-field characters inGenshin Impact. However, it could be argued that the new mechanic only became complete with the debut ofFurina inGenshin ImpactVersion 4.2, whose ability kit enabled it for other, older characters such as Eula or Hu Tao.
By contrast, Version 4.6 is set tointroduce Arlecchino toGenshin Impact, and she will kick off the Bond of Life phase of Fontaine. Arlecchino will be joined by Clorinde and Sigewinne in Version 4.7, whose ability kit will also feature the Bond of Life. Whereas Clorinde will be an on-field character like Arlecchino, Sigewinne is expected to be a healer with on-field potential (similar to Kokomi). The wildcard of Version 4.7 appears to be Sethos, a Sumeru character who HoYoverse confirmed to be a 4-Star Electro Bow.
Sethos will make his debut in Version 4.6 during Cyno’s second Story Quest, though details of his gameplay for Version 4.7 remain scarce. On top of introducing three new playable characters, Version 4.7 is also expected tocontinue the Dainsleif storyline inGenshin Impact. Given that Version 4.6 introduces the underwater ruins of Remuria, it’s quite likely that Dainsleif’s appearance will be connected to the new zone.
Genshin Impact Version 4.7 Adds Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos
While some players were hoping thatSigewinne inGenshin Impactwould be a 4-Star character, given the general lack of 4-Star Hydro options, there is a silver lining to her rarity. 5-Star characters tend to have better multipliers on average, and if Sigewinne does end up enabling the Bond of Life for other characters, then it could open up aspects of Clorinde and Arlecchino’s gameplay to team compositions that already rely on Zhongli for shield support. More details about Clorinde, Sigewinne, and Sethos will no doubt emerge once beta testing for Version 4.7 begins on July 04, 2025.
