We’re just a few weeks away from going to the hydro nation Fontaine. Hoyoverse showed the upcoming characters from fontaine through a teaser a few weeks ago, but they are not the only characters who will be released during fontaine cycle. There will be some more characters from fontaine as well as some other regions. Today we have some new information about some already revealed characters but they weren’t expected to be playable. HutaoLover77 translated Uncle A’s original post in the Discord channel. It essentially states that Cloud Retainer, Madame Ping and Guizhong will be playable in the future. Uncle A has posted that Cloud Retainer, Madame Ping, and Guizhong may be playable in Genshin Impact. This news came during one of the later Fontaine informations, yet there is currently no definitive proof of these statements. No designs of these three characters have surfaced online, other than ones we have already seen in story teasers during various cutscenes animayions. Similarly, no known release dates have been confirmed, although Cloud Retainer does have a rumored release version.
One interesting part of this post is that it mentions Guizhong being reincarnated as a lady, which would be referencing La Signora. For those who don’t know, Guizhong died in the Archon War, which occurred thousands of years ago. There is currently no precedence in Genshin Impact for a character to reincarnate and become playable, let alone one from several millennia ago. If Guizhong is brought back, that means other dead characters could also potentially come back. The playable form of Cloud Retainer is supposedly going to be her humanoid form. That shouldn’t surprise players since all playable Genshin Impact characters use one of a few different human models. One interesting detail about the post is that both Uncle A and Team China state that the Cloud Retainer is playable. There are rumors that Cloud Retainer could be playable in version 4.4, which is when the Lantern Rite Festival will likely return. Assuming every Version Update from 4.0 onward lasts for 42 days each, this means Version 4.4 should launch around January 31, 2023. Lantern Rite Festivals have historically happened around that time. One post states that Madame Ping has a true form reminiscent of a Koi fish. No images of such transformation exist online. It is worth mentioning that this leak is classified as Questionable, so there is a good chance this information is fishy and could be inaccurate.
