Genshin Impact Teases New Character Sethos' Element
A post shared to the Genshin Impact leaks subreddit by Reddit user ukrisreng reveals Sethos' element within Genshin Impact. The post showcases an in-development model for Sethos, set alongside his appearance within the Version 4.6 trailer, with fans able to catch a glimpse of his Vision obscured by his hand. The teaser seemingly reveals that Sethos will debut within Genshin Impact's roster as an Electro character, placed in the same element as Cyno. Sethos is currently expected to join Genshin Impact's roster as a four-star character in Version 4.7.
Genshin Impact's newest Weekly Boss and Story Quest are expected to be joined by a plethora of new content for players to explore throughout Version 4.6. The update will welcome the return of a pair of popular mini-games, with Genshin Impact's rhythm game and Windtrace both featuring new spins on the classic events. Version 4.6 will also introduce the final map expansion of the game's Fontaine cycle, as well as a pair of new Artifact Sets added to Genshin Impact. The Version 4.6 update is expected to launch on April 24.
While Genshin Impact's newest trailer teased Sethos, he isn't the only new playable character teased to be joining in Version 4.7. Recent leaks have heavily suggested the long-awaited Clorinde will finally debut in Genshin Impact's Version 4.7 update as a DPS character focused around the Overload reaction. Clorinde would be the final major character featured in Fontaine's Archon Quest to join the roster, first appearing in the main story of Version 4.0. The release of Clorinde and Sethos should give fans plenty to look forward to in Version 4.7, with Version 4.6's launch just around the corner.
