Below is a list of all the characters that are expected to be in the Genshin Impact version 4.0 banners:

Lyney (New Fontaine character)
Lynette (New Fontaine character)
Freminet (New Fontaine character)
Childe (5-star Hydro Bow)
Yelan (5-star Hydro Bow)

Based on the leaks by SipSipStefen, HoYoverse is expected to release Lyney and Lynette in the first Fontaine update of Genshin Impact. Players might remember them from the Teyvat Chapter Preview Travail, where the developer teased a number of characters from each nation. It is speculated that Lyney will likely be a 5-star Pyro character, while Lynette is expected to be a 4-star Anemo unit.

In addition, Mero also leaked another Fontaine character called Freminet, who is speculated to be a 4-star Cryo unit. Furthermore, Childe and Yelan are also expected to get a rerun banner in the upcoming version 4.0 update. The banner orders are currently unknown, so fans must wait for official confirmation from HoYoverse.

Fans may have also noticed that one slot for a 5-star unit is empty in the banner leaks. Currently, Lyney is the only new 5-star that is expected to be released in the version 4.0 update, so it can be assumed that the final slot will be another character rerun.

More Genshin Impact version 4.0 leaks

Based on the leaks from HutaoLover77, Childe is expected to appear in the Archon Quest in version 4.0, and it seems that he might bring along a few other members of the Fatui Harbingers with him. He has been missing from major events and main storylines for a very long time, so fans would be excited to see him once again.
