With the arrival of the final update in Genshin Impact's Sumeru chapter, HoYoverse is already hyping the community with teasers of Fontaine and new characters. The reveal of multiple upcoming characters via the new teaser, Overture: The Final Feast, has greatly impacted the player base. Additionally, the official reveal of the first two new characters has also added fuel to the fire.

Lyney and Lynette were always two of the common names in any discussion about Fontaine. Both of them were officially revealed by HoYoverse three years ago in the Teyvat chapter trailer. However, with the recent teaser, everyone got a fair idea of their voice, official attire, and their influence in Fontaine.

Lyney and Lynette have always been teased as "magicians," which has been the case with the latest reveal. The official teaser starts with Fontaine's characters quoting the essence of magic, alongside the impact it can have on the people. While this might foreshadow many things in the upcoming story arc, both Lyney and Lynette have been shown to be doing tricks for their audience.

Based on the voice revealed in the teaser, the following are the voice actors that players can expect for Lyney and Lynette in the English and Japanese voice-overs:

  • Lyney: Hiro Shimono (JP) and Daman Mills (EN)
  • Lynette: Yu Shinohara (JP) and Anairis Quinones (EN)

Typically, the reveal of both these characters with the current version of the game cements the fact that they will be released with the first patch of Fontaine (4.0). One of the recent leaks did inform the community about the release of the two aforementioned characters, alongside possible reruns of Yelan and Tartaglia.

The following posts contain the official announcements from HoYoverse.

Based on the official description provided by the company, Lyney seems to be a master of his craft as one of the celebrated magicians in the court of Fontaine and the self-proclaimed "greatest magician in Teyvat." Lynette, on the other hand, has been revealed to be her brother's assistant in the field.

Lyney and Lynette's rarity will be 5 and 4 stars, respectively. Lyney is expected to be a Pyro Bow male character, while Lynette will be an Anemo Sword female unit. Players need to wait a little longer before their official kit details get revealed either via official means or by data mines.
