New Genshin Impact leaks hint at Columbina release window

According to a post by Plum Team Leaks (sourced from Genshin Leakflow and 归来的悼亡者), Fatui Harbinger Columbina might be playable in one of the 6.x patches.

Standard update patterns suggest Genshin Impact 6.0 might be released in August/September 2025, with the rest of the 6.x patches lasting till July/August 2026, followed by the release of version 7.0. Since the leak doesn't mention a specific version, Columbina's release might be anytime during the entirety of the 6.x patches, which puts her release window between August/September 2025 and July/August 2026.

The leak also mentions that the Snezhnaya arc would be considerably long, which ties in to the playerbase's speculations regarding the rest of the Fatui Harbingers being playable during Snezhnaya. So far, Tartaglia and Arlecchino are the only currently playable Fatui Harbingers (Wanderer isn't included in this list since he isn't a Harbinger anymore).

The rest of the existing Harbingers, such as Columbina, Dottore, Capitano, and Pantalone, are also expected to be playable during Snezhnaya.

More details about Fatui Harbinger Columbina

Apart from Columbina's official appearance in the A Winter Night's Lazzo video, three characters have in-game "About Damselette" a voicelines talking about her. These three characters are Columbina's current (and one former) Fatui Harbinger colleagues Tartaglia, Arlecchino and Wanderer.

Here's what Tartaglia has to say about Columbina:

"The Fatui Harbingers are ranked by strength, and I have no idea why that girl is No. 3. I'd test my skills with every Harbinger who ranks above me if I had the chance, but when it comes to her...something just doesn't feel right. Anyway, you should be careful around her."

His dialogue provides information regarding Columbina's position in the Fatui Harbinger hierarchy. She is Fatui Harbinger No. 3, preceded only by Capitano at No. 2 and Dottore at No. 1. As the third Fatui Harbinger, she is implied to be extremely strong and possessing immense power.

Arlecchino's lines about Columbina are rather intriguing:

"She is a very special Harbinger. Pose her a question, and the answer you receive will be entirely unpredictable, if she sees fit to give a proper answer at all. Regardless, any answer you do receive is sure to be an interesting one."

As evident from her dialogue, Arlecchino places Columbina in high regard, calling her "very special." Arlecchino herself is the fourth Harbinger, right after Columbina.

The third and last character to have a voiceline about Columbina is the former Fatui Harbinger Wanderer (Scaramouche):

"Let me ask: what should you do if you were to encounter a "damsel" who is oblivious and innocent at any given time, and unconcerned and unfeeling in any given situation? If it were me, I could at least challenge her to a fight. But if it were you...with your conscience, I would stay away from her."

Both Tartaglia and Wanderer mention that the Traveler should be wary of Columbina and should stay away from her, which is rather interesting. Whenever Columbina does become playable, her personality will definitely be interesting.
