A reliable leaker known as @HutaoLover77 posted information about the upcoming Fontaine characters, such as their element, rarity, and possible release patch. Based on this, it seems that Genshin Impact will release Neuvillette in the version 4.1 update alongside Wriothesley.

That said, the exact banner orders are still unknown, so it is difficult to say whether the Chief Justice of Fontaine will be in the first or second phase. Travelers can expect him to be released on one of the following dates depending on v4.1 patch phase:

• Phase I - September 27, 2023
• Phase II - October 18, 2023

Although Neuvillette's vision was not shown in the Overture Teaser trailer, there are rumors that he will likely be a 5-star Hydro character. In addition, he is expected to be a Catalyst user.

Interestingly, in another leak, @HXG claims that Neuvillette could potentially be the Hydro Dragon. There are also rumors that he might be Hydro Archon's companion. Most Genshin Impact players would already know about Elemental Dragons in the game, such as Apep (Dendro Dragon), Azhdaha (Geo Dragon), and Dvalin (Anemo Dragon). If this turn out to be true, it would mean that Neuvillette is also an Elemental Dragon.

Not much is currently known about the Fontaine Archon Quest plot, but it is safe to assume that Neuvillette will play a major role in the story, considering he is the Chief Justice of the region dubbed as Land of Justice. Lastly, if he actually makes his debut in version 4.1, as the leaks say, travelers can expect his drip marketing post on Twitter a few days before version 4.0 is released.
