Genshin Impact has been one of the most popular games in 2021 with a large player base that has seen continued growth. Genshin Impact's unique characters is one of its main draws and new additions to the playable roster are probably one of the most important events a casual player is looking forward to.

The official Genshin Impact 2.4 Livestream has revealed the two new characters that will arrive in the next update, the two polearm users Shenhe and Yun Jin. However, the new update has not even arrived yet and Genshin Impact's account has revealed a new face that will arrive in update 2.4.

The Genshin Impact Twitter account has officially confirmed the arrival of a brand new character known as Yae Miko who has become a fan-favorite since her appearance in multiple update previews. Even though she's one of the most anticipated characters in the game, many fans were saddened by the fact that the announcement has left out another popular character, Scaramouche, who's been part of the game's story almost from the beginning.

Luckily a recent post on Reddit has revealed more information about his arrival. Apparently, despite all the rumors that emerged over the last couple of leaks, Scaramouche will not arrive any time soon. The absence of basic data in the current beta phase means that he will probably not arrive in the three upcoming updates. Click here to see the full Reddit thread.

Scaramouche's first appearance is during the quest "The Crisis Deepens" where he's introduced as a "vagrant from Inazuma." He seemed to be a friendly character at first before Mona sensed and revealed his true evil intentions and arranged an escape. There is a lot of mystique surrounding this character which leads many players to believe that he could be one of the end-game villains. However, in order to become a playable character, Scaramouche will most likely have a change of heart and become a good guy just like it was with one of the most popular characters Tartaglia.

The in-game description for the recently added artifact set Husk of Opulent Dreams has revealed additional information about these unusual characters. Scaramouche was originally made to be the Electro Archon Gnosis carrier, the same Gnosis that Raiden Shogun currently has. The only confirmed thing about him right now is that he's returned to Inazuma and met with Signora. This was followed by the events that took place in the 2.1 Archon quest.

Previous leaks have revealed more information about Scaramouche's kit. Apparently his Elemental Skill will work similarly to Klee's, he will be able to fire a power beam dealing AoE damage. His Elemental Burst description reveals that it could be an overall damage buff, similar to Beido or Razor. Judging by his appearance and importance to the story, it's expected that he will most likely be a very strong DPS character.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
