Summary
- Genshin Impact fans are intrigued by the absence of a Vision for the upcoming character Neuvillette in the Version 4.1 update.
- Version 4.0 of Genshin Impact will introduce new regions, characters, and a reprised event wish featuring Liyue character Yelan.
- Speculation is rife among fans regarding Neuvillette's true identity, with theories suggesting ties to Fontaine's Hydro Dragon and a possible connection to Natlan.
Genshin Impact fans notice that there is no mention of a Vision for Neuvillette, a new playable character expected to arrive in the Version 4.1 update. The release of Version 4.0 is imminent, but HoYoverse is already teasing Genshin Impact fans about what may come in the following update later this year.
The Traveler and Paimon's quest to visit all of Teyvat's major regions continues in Genshin Impact Version 4.0. Genshin Impact players will finally be able to explore Fontaine, progress the main story, and summon some of the region's new characters such as Lyney and Lynette. In addition, the popular Liyue character Yelan will make her return in a reprised event wish in Version 4.0. HoYoverse also teased Version 4.1 characters Neuvillette and Wriothesley ahead of 4.0's launch, leading fans to speculate about what the next update could entail.
Genshin Impact fan Jamesdeus17 noticed that HoYoverse omitted any mention of a Vision from the official character description for Neuvillette. Although Neuvillette will be a playable Hydro character in Genshin Impact Version 4.1, HoYoverse is hiding the status of his Vision and Constellation with question marks, and players believe the new character may be able to manipulate elements like the Traveler. Moreover, some fans speculate that Neuvillette's description as the "only male Melusine" may be a cover for his true identity in Fontaine.
Fans speculate that Neuvillette is Fontaine's Hydro Dragon, a divine creature that's similar to Mondstadt's Anemo Dragon Dvalin. HoYoverse may be hiding certain details about Neuvillette before revealing his true nature in Genshin Impact Version 4.1 according to Reddit user VersustheV, and other fans believe that Neuvillette may have a Gnosis just like Scaramouche did during the Sumeru storyline. Further, fans are speculating about the mention of Xbalanque from real-world Mayan myths in Neuvillette's description since it may imply some ties to Natlan, the region where the Pyro Dragon resides.
Neuvillette is one of the most enigmatic characters in Genshin Impact's lore yet, so speculation will likely continue well into the release of Version 4.0. Since Neuvillette is a playable character, his dedicated story quest could potentially delve into the character's backstory. It's also possible for Genshin Impact Version 4.0's main story to address some questions about Neuvillette from fans before 4.1 launches.
Players may want to wait for more official details from HoYoverse since Version 4.1 is still more than a month away from launch, however. Genshin Impact Version 4.0 will launch first on August 16, and the following update is expected to release in late September. HoYoverse will likely share more information about Neuvillette before the launch of Version 4.1.
Genshin Impact is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
