Genshin Impact will release the long-awaited Fontaine region in the upcoming version 4.0 patch. The new update will unlock an entirely new map in the game and also introduce travelers to a fresh bunch of characters. The game developers also recently released a Fontaine trailer called Overture Teaser: The Final Feast, in which they revealed several upcoming characters, including Furina, who is speculated to be the Hydro Archon.
This Genshin Impact article will rank five of the most anticipated upcoming characters in the Fontaine update. Note that the rankings are based on the number of followers recorded on each character’s subreddit on July 13, 2023.

There are not a lot of leaks regarding his gameplay, but it is speculated that he might be a Hydro Claymore user.

Wriothesley is currently the fourth most anticipated Fontaine character in the Genshin Impact community. Like the previous entry, he also made his first-ever official appearance in the Overture Teaser trailer. Although HoYoverse is yet to reveal anything official about him, several leaks claim that he might be released in version 4.1.
Furthermore, it is speculated that Wriothesley will likely be a 5-star Cryo unit, and there is a possibility that he could be added to the Standard Wish banner. It is also worth mentioning that if the leaks turn out to be true, he could potentially become the first playable 5-star Cryo male character in Genshin Impact.
