Genshin Impact: New Characters Revealed
"Sometimes it distracts with a feint, others it pretends to slip up and reveal a flaw... When things get serious, sleight of hand dazzles more than the magic itself. Can you guess what it is?"#GenshinImpact #Lyney pic.twitter.com/t72X41eQXb

[It has not been revealed who is going to be 4 or 5-star characters, these are just assumptions from previous leaks]
Not only have these three new characters been revealed, but HoYoverse also released a trailer for Fontaine in which we can see multiple characters that have previously been part of multiple Genshin Impact leaks.
The Hydro archon, Focalors, will be playable soon, along with a multitude of other characters. Arlencchino, one of the Fatui Harbingers, will also be playing a key role in Fontaine, though it has not been revealed yet whether she will be playable.
Charlotte, whom we've met in the 3.7 update is also included in the trailer, and she likely will also be a playable hydro character at one point.
Along with the characters we know, there are also quite a lot of new cameos for upcoming characters that will likely be part of future Genshin banners.
Genshin Update 4.0 should be released around August 4, 2023 if we go by the usual HoYoverse release timeline. Then you can get your hands on these characters.
