Through HoYoverse’s pre-update drip marketing via their social media platforms ahead of Genshin Impact Version 4.1 going live on servers earlier this week, we received strong confirmation that come November when Version 4.2 is set to be released, we should expect to see “Endless Solo of Solitude: Regina of All Waters, Kindreds, Peoples and Laws” Furina and “Lens of Verity: Reporter of The Steambird” Charlotte are expected to be the featured 5-stars.
Actual specifics are expected to be confirmed in late-October during HoYoverse’s normal livestream, but you can read more information about both characters below – to see if they have a potential place in your party composition:

One lie always follows another, and so “justice” awaits inescapably at the end. The ignorant see this as some kind of farce. But if they trace back to the source, they inevitably realize that they began by deceiving themselves.

“…Euphrasie, three days ago, one of your journalists secretly followed a suspect all the way from the Court of Fontaine to Romaritime Harbor, and almost ended up being tied up and thrown into the sea by a gang of criminals. Whether or not there’s any truth in the notion that ‘nearer to the action is closer to the truth,’ surely Miss Charlotte doesn’t value her reports more than she does her own life?”
