Genshin Impact Sethos release date speculation, build, and more

We love it when a character gets teased, and now we’ve got Genshin Impact’s Sethos announced as a new character coming to the game.

The next update, version 4.6, looks fit to burst with events, characters, and story updates – including a teaser of Genshin Impact’s Sethos. He’s due to appear in Cyno’s second story quest, so let’s look at what we know about him.

If you’re caught up with the Sumeru story and Genshin Impact Cyno’s first quest, you’ll know there’s some very interesting backstory going on with him and the priest Hermanubis. While the story will surely unfold in the next update, we do know that Cyno is affected by Hermanubis’ power, and it appears that it also affects Sethos.

At present, we don’t know much about Sethos at all other than some basic information. Even looking at leaks, there’s barely anything other than his name – his design didn’t even crop up before its official reveal in the recent livestream.

Genshin Impact Sethos release date speculation

Despite his story appearance, Sethos is not due to release in version 4.6. He will release in version 4.7, though, alongside Genshin Impact’s Clorinde or Genshin Impact’s Sigewinne – the two new five-star characters in the patch. It may be that we get another Cyno rerun in the same patch for Sethos to make his debut.

What do we know about Sethos’s build?

From his drip marketing and official reveal, we can see that Sethos wields a bow, and is an electro-user. While not confirmed, it seems likely he’ll be a support for Cyno, though that’s just our speculation. At the moment, nothing is confirmed about his kit or abilities.

What we do know for sure is his voice actor is Zeno Robinson, who plays Junpei in Persona 3 Reload.
