HoYoverse has revealed more details about Genshin Impact 4.2, including the release date, new characters and planned banners, hints about the story content, and even the upcoming events and their rewards. The popular action RPG is a live-service title, which means it constantly receives updates. With them, players can experience new story quests and partake in limited-time events. During these periods, they can also try their luck and pull for limited 5-star characters. There are two new characters in Genshin Impact 4.2, but even though their additions are long-awaited, they are not the only important part of the update.
Version 4.2 is adding a very important Archon quest, which is expected to conclude the main conflict set in the region of Fontaine. The Hydro Archon, Focalors, will battle against the prophecy of the return of the Primordial Sea. The story should conclude with an epic battle, which will then be added as a weekly boss encounter that drops special materials, needed for Furina’s Ascension in Genshin Impact. There are also many events, including one that gifts a free character, as well as some quality-of-life system optimizations.

The details about the content of the upcoming update were announced during the Genshin Impact 4.2 livestream held on the official Genshin Impact channel on Twitch. The update is due to arrive on November 8, according to HoYoverse. The interval between the livestream and the update itself is not the regular week and a half apart because the broadcast was actually postponed. Nevertheless, the livestream’s delay did not actually affect the content itself, so players do not need to worry about having to wait more time before jumping into the contents of Version 4.2.
During the livestream, HoYoverse confirmed the two new characters arriving in Genshin Impact 4.2: Furina and Charlotte. They had already been somewhat teased by the developer weeks ago, but are now arriving as playable characters. Charlotte was the first Fontaine hero that players met, even before the debut of the region itself. Furina, on the other hand, introduced herself as an NPC with Version 4.0. Charlotte is a 4-star Cryo catalyst character, the second of such a combination. It is expected that Charlotte will take on the role of a support and Cryo enabler in team comps, while also being capable of acting as something of a sub-DPS.
