Several leaks have claimed that Navia and Chevreuse will be released in the upcoming Genshin Impact 4.3 update, which is also the final update of the year 2023. Travelers can expect the official announcement of the characters' release in November. Based on past precedence, a new playable unit is usually revealed a couple of days before the patch that proceeds their own release patch goes live.

Here are some examples:

• Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet were added in 4.0, but were revealed two days before 3.8.
• Wriothesley and Neuvillette were added in 4.1, but were revealed two days before 4.0.
• Furina and Charlotte will be released in 4.2, but were revealed two days before 4.1.

Therefore, players can expect the officials to announce Navia and Chevreuse as playable units two days before version 4.2 drops, that is November 6, 2023.

Based on the leaks from Uncle Chicken, Genshin Impact version 4.3 is expected to feature the following 5-star characters:

• Navia (Geo - Claymore)
• Albedo (Geo - Sword)
• Itto (Geo - Claymore)
• Raiden Shogun (Electro - Polearm)

Their banner order is currently unknown, so it is difficult to say when Navia will make her debut. Meanwhile, Itto, Albedo, and Raiden Shogun are also expected to get rerun banners in this update.

According to a dataminer called Siko, Chevreuse will be released in version 4.3 as a 4-star Pyro character. Her weapon type is speculated to be Polearm. Unfortunately, there are no kit leaks available, so travelers will have to wait until Genshin Impact 4.3 beta starts.

In any case, none of the things mentioned above have been officially confirmed by HoYoverse. Thus, the banners and character information are subject to change.
