Lyney and Lynette will be released in Genshin Impact 4.0, as per the leaks

Genshin Impact version 4.0 will be released on August 16, 2023. A reliable leaker called @keikakutori9 shared some ongoing speculation about the Fontaine banners in the above post. While the original texts are in Chinese, upon translating it, it says that HoYoverse will likely release one new 5-star and two 4-star characters in version 4.0.

The 5-star unit is speculated to be Lyney, and one of the two 4-stars is likely Lynette. The developers will also likely announce their arrival via drip marketing before version 3.8 drops. According to Mero, another reliable leaker, Lyney, might be a Pyro vision holder, and Lynette is rumored to possess Anemo vision.

Based on leaks by Uncle YC, it seems that Childe and Yelan might get another banner in Genshin Impact version 4.0. Usually, the developers rerun four 5-star characters in a single patch, but all the leaks have mentioned only three names so far, which means that the final spot is still unknown.
