A new Genshin Impact Version 7.2 leak names eight characters for a purported free 4-star selector: Amber, Xiangling, Thoma, Collei, Lynette, Kachina, Aino and Alyosha. The roster is unconfirmed. It appeared on September 23 alongside a collage of the eight characters, but neither the post nor the image provides an event screen, eligibility conditions or a claim window. Players should treat the names as an early proposed list, not as an available in-game reward.
Who appears in the proposed selection
The list spans characters from several regions rather than concentrating on a single nation. Amber, Xiangling, Thoma, Collei, Lynette and Kachina sit alongside Aino and Alyosha. The inclusion of Alyosha is worth noting for anyone planning around that character, but a portrait in a leaked selector collage is not confirmation of a new release, banner placement or a particular way of obtaining him. The post says only that he is among the purported choices.
The accompanying graphic is a two-row collage of character portraits. It visually matches the eight names in the post, but it is not a screenshot of the selector interface. There are no visible event instructions, selection buttons, server times or reward conditions to read from it. That distinction matters: the artwork supports identification of the proposed roster, while the claim that a free selection exists comes from the accompanying unconfirmed text. It would be premature to infer a themed event or quest requirement from the image alone.
If the list holds, players with a particular missing character or a desired constellation would have more than one type of decision to make. Someone weighing Xiangling against a character they do not yet own might prefer roster coverage; another player might value an extra copy for a team they already use. Those are conditional planning examples, not recommendations to reserve resources now. We do not yet know whether the selection grants one character, how many times it can be used, whether every account qualifies, or whether any candidate carries a separate restriction.
Not the Version 7.1 anniversary invitation
This rumored 4-star list should not be mixed up with the confirmed Version 7.1 anniversary character invitations. The earlier official announcement sets out separate 5-star choices with specific participation requirements. A possible Version 7.2 four-star selector would be a different offer if it reaches the live game. The existence of the anniversary rewards does not verify this later roster, and their deadlines or quest gates cannot safely be copied onto it.
Several practical questions remain open. The leak supplies no event name, start or end date, task list, region-specific schedule, or explanation of how a selection would be claimed. It also does not show a complete in-game reward panel. Even the eight names could change before an official announcement or later testing. For now, the useful development is the specific proposed roster: players can see who is being discussed, while holding off on any assumption that a free pick is guaranteed. The next reliable check will be an official event notice or an in-game selector that states the eligible characters and rules.
