Hoyoverse’s latest teaser ahead of the Fontaine area gave us a cast of new characters, including Genshin Impact’s Egeria. Unfortunately, only her voice features in the teaser, and we really don’t know much about her other than her name and that she’s from Fontaine. Whoever this mystery lady is, Hoyoverse evidently wants to keep her under wraps, which tells us she’s someone important.
For more Genshin Impact Fontaine characters that we do know about, here’s everything about Genshin Impact’s Clorinde, Genshin Impact’s Neuvillette, and Genshin Impact’s Wriothesley ahead of their release.
Now, let’s jump into our Genshin Impact Egeria guide.
Who is Genshin Impact’s Egeria?
Right now, all we know about Egeria is her name, and what her voice sounds like. Though credited in the Overture Teaser, she doesn’t appear as a character – only as a voice-over. Her voice line in the trailer is the following:
“The original sin is the fairest. Everyone sinks. Make the most of the final feast, because for the sinners, the curtain call has come.”
Egeria’s voice actors are Courtney Steele in English and Kim Hayeong in Korean. They’re recognizable for their parts in Dislyte and Pokémon respectively.
Now, let’s get into some wilder ideas. Allegedly, Furina the hydro archon, has a split personality. Players assume this due to the two-tone design of Fontaine’s glider wings, and other mirrored designs in Fontaine’s emblems.
Egeria could embody Genshin Impact Focalors, the hydro archon known as Furina’s other personality, or, she could be the previous hydro archon, as we know Furina isn’t the first – though the previous archon allegedly died, so this may not be true.
If we look at what ‘egeria’ means, it may provide some hints as to the character’s lore. Egeria, in mythology, was a nymph that brought laws and rituals to ancient Roman society. Does this sound familiar? It should, because Fontaine is all about the court of law. Plus, nymphs are usually associated with water, so she fits right in in Fontaine.
Genshin Impact’s Egeria release date speculation
Given that we’ve not even seen her yet, it’s likely that Egeria releases later in the 4.0 patches, towards the end of the Fontaine updates. When we know more, we’ll update this page.
