Their names may sound like characters from Italian Renaissance theatre, but these characters are anything but actors. The nine Fatui Harbingers, main antagonists of the worlds of Genshin Impact, came knocking on the door of fans yesterday, with a high-flying trailer, dubbed "Masquerade of a Winter's Night". Capitano, Sandrone, Pulcinella, Columbina, Pierro, Tartaglia, Arlecchino, Pentalone and Dottore reunited for the first time in years . And they have very dark and icy intentions for the world of Teyvat...
The most loved Genshin Impact trailer in history
The video of the Harbingers reunion has greatly pleased fans, delighted to finally discover the faces of all these Machiavellian characters, who have a special place in the construction of lore , past and future. In just 8 hours, the trailer became the most liked official Genshin Impact video on YouTube (over 501,000 likes) , beating the Raiden Shogun trailer, released in August 2021.
At the time of writing, this clip on the Fatui already exceeds 5.6 million views barely 48 hours after its publication. And it just might become one of the most viewed Genshin Impact cutscenes in history.
A trailer showcasing a host of enticing new characters is by no means proof that they will ever be released on miHoYo's game. Some could well remain forever as constituent characters of the lore, without going through the gameplay box. However, according to the leaker SaveYourPrimos, almost all Harbingers will be playable (in a very long time, of course, but they will be!). Doubt hovers only over Signora, Pierro, Pulcinella and Capitano.
