Highlights
- Emilie, a rumored Dendro character, might debut in Version 4.8, filling the void in Fontaine’s character lineup.
- Players are divided on Emilie’s visual design, with speculation pointing towards a colorful, floral-themed appearance.
As debate about Emilie’s appearance continues to intensify, a Genshin Impact fan shares a full collection of all Emilie concept art designs. Though open-world exploration and elemental combat are the bread and butter of Genshin Impact, its main appeal has always been its colorful cast of characters. Fontaine brought many memorable 5-Stars to the game, such as Xianyun and Neuvillette, and Version 4.7 is poised to add two more to the roster, with Clorinde and Sigewinne making their debut on the Event Banners.
However, there is still one piece missing from Fontaine. Though she was at one point rumored for Natlan, recent Genshin Impact leaks claim that Emilie will be released in Genshin Impact Version 4.8 as a 5-Star Dendro Polearm. As of now, Mondstadt and Fontaine are the only regions without a Dendro character, and since Mondstadt has had zero 5-Stars since Version 1.5, there may be some time until the Anemo Nation catches up with the rest of Teyvat. On the other hand, Emilie will fit nicely with the rest of the Fontaine cast, as she will seemingly raise the Burning elemental reaction to new heights.

Though Genshin Impact leakers are in agreement over the gameplay aspects of Emilie, it would seem that there is no consensus on her visual appearance. The primary reason for this is due to Emilie having a diverse set of designs that never made it past the concept art stage. While this is standard protocol for any Genshin Impact character, Emilie’s concept art flooded the community, with different sources posting the designs they had access to. A player named geezjessiewhy decided to compile Emilie’s concept art into a unified gallery, sharing it with the rest of the Genshin Impact Leaks community on Reddit.
Which Emilie Concept Art Will Genshin Impact Go With?
As one might expect from a perfumer of Fontaine, the designs are colorful and lean into a floral motif. It should be noted that since Fontaine already has four Tall Female models released during its patch cycle, it’s more likely that one of the Medium Female models will be chosen as the final design. While Genshin Impact players are hoping that HoYoverse leans into pink as Emilie’s primary color, the current assumption is that Emilie will likely be some variation of the concept art posted by Videre – wearing a green dress and having canine features like Gorou. Players can expect to find out more on June 3, 2024, when drip marketing for Emilie and Version 4.8 of Genshin Impact begins.
If, for some reason, Emilie isn’t part of Version 4.8, the earliest that players can expect her is in late August 2024. With her ability kit focused on Burning, Emilie should have no trouble fitting in with the upcoming Natlan characters in Genshin Impact, but even Fontaine characters such as Wriothesley will likely find her to be a premium teammate.
