PlayStation France has officially confirmed that Furina and Charlotte will be in the first phase of the Genshin Impact 4.2 update, which will be released on November 8, 2023. Fortunately, their banners will be available as soon as the new patch goes online.

Without further delay, below is a complete banner schedule of the upcoming 4.2 update:

Phase I (November 8 to November 29)

• Furina (5-star Hydro)
• Baizhu (5-star Dendro)
• Charlotte (4-star Cryo)

Phase II (November 29 to December 20)

• Ayato (5-star Hydro)
• Cyno (5-star Electro)

According to PlayStation France's now-deleted blog, the first phase will feature Baizhu's first rerun banner and will last three weeks (or 21 days).

Additionally, Ayato and Cyno will be in the second phase, which will begin on November 29, 2023, and will also run for 21 days, assuming there are no extensions, meaning it should end on December 20, 2023.

It should be noted that Charlotte is the only 4-star unit that has been confirmed to be in the first phase at the moment. Other 4-star featured characters will be revealed at a later date.

That said, some leaks have hinted that Beidou and Collei might be in the first phase. On the other hand, Xiangling, Kuki Shinobu, and Kirara are likely to appear in the latter half.

Considering that the leaks about the rerun for the 5-star characters were true, it is safe to assume that the info about the other 4-star units is also reliable for now.
