Genshin Impact has become an immensely popular action game, and its upcoming version 4.0 is set to bring even more excitement with the addition of a new region. Fontaine, the nation of justice, was recently unveiled during the version 3.8 live stream, revealing some enticing details. Twitter leaks have also surfaced, providing additional information about the new region. To keep you informed, here's a comprehensive compilation of everything you need to know about Genshin Impact 4.0 Fontaine.

Release Date of Genshin Impact 4.0

Assuming that the release of version 3.8 on July 5th follows the established schedule of 42-day patches, we can expect Genshin Impact 4.0 to be released in the third week of August. It is highly likely that the live stream for the new version will take place a week before its release, in the second week of August.

Banners

The first set of banners in Genshin Impact 4.0 is expected to feature the sibling duo from Fontaine, Lyney and Lynette. According to leaks, Lyney is a 5-star Pyro Bow user, while Lynette wields an Anemo Sword.

As for the four-star characters that may appear on the banner, our predictions include Charolette and Freminet, along with a few existing four-star characters that complement Lyney's abilities, such as Xingqui and Bennett. The second set of banners in Genshin Impact 4.0 is likely to feature a rerun of an old 5-star character.

Upcoming Characters 

One of the most anticipated aspects of new versions of Genshin Impact is the introduction of new characters from the corresponding region. While several 4.0 characters have leaked, most of them will be released as the Fontaine story progresses, with some arriving in the subsequent 4.1 and 4.2 updates.


Recent leaks suggest that Lyney and Lynette, the characters introduced in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview video, will be among the first batch of Fontaine characters in the Genshin Impact 4.0 update. Lyney is rumored to be a 5-star Pyro Bow user, while Lynette is expected to be a 4-star Anemo sword user. Additionally, we might see other 5-star and 4-star characters as early as version 4.2. However, the release dates and designs of these characters might be subject to change by Hoyoverse, considering that most information about them has already leaked.

The Hydro Archon, also known as Focalors or Furine (according to leaks), will be a sword user and is speculated to be a support/buff character making her debut in the 4.2 updates. However, since this information leaked nearly four months before the release of Fontaine, there is a possibility that Hoyoverse might alter the release schedule and character designs. Therefore, it is advisable to approach this information with caution.

In addition to Fontaine characters, we can expect the appearance of several characters from Sumeru, Inazuma, Liuye, and Mondstadt. Arlecchino, one of the 11 Harbingers of the Fatui, is also expected to make her debut in Fontaine, similar to how Wanderer (Scaramouche) debuted in Sumeru.

Arlecchino is rumored to be a 5-star Sword-wielding character with Pyro delusion. However, there is insufficient evidence to confirm whether she will be a playable character. Considering Hoyoverse's track record, it is possible that she could become playable in the 4.6 or 4.7 updates.

Leaks and rumors also provide some insights into Arlecchino's role and the fate of the Fatui Harbingers, both in terms of lore and playability. Some theorists predict that the release of the Northern region of Mondstadt, originally planned for Genshin Impact 4.3 (according to leaks), might be delayed. Instead, it could be replaced by Port Baydha in Sumeru, leading players to Fontaine.

According to some theories, Arlecchino will be a playable character, but the overall details are currently quite abstract. AHQ predicts that not all Harbingers will join the playable character roster and hints at the possibility of some of them dying in Genshin Impact 4.0.

Leaked Weapons

Hoyoverse has a reputation for struggling to keep secrets, even when it comes to the signature weapon designs of characters. Recent leaks have revealed the designs of Fontaine's signature weapons, although these leaks appear to be outdated, as the weapons in the images still seem to be in the design phase.

There is limited information available regarding the stats and the characters associated with these weapons. However, based on assumptions, the blue sword might be Focalor's signature weapon. As more details emerge closer to the release of Genshin Impact 4.0, which is still two months away, we will update this article with additional information.

Map of Genshin Impact 4.0

Fontaine's exploration will encompass both land and underwater environments. Some leaks suggest the presence of underwater terrain to explore, but it is advisable to approach this information with skepticism as these leaks have not gained much credibility and could potentially be fan-made.


The teaser released by Hoyoverse at the end of the version 3.8 livestream indicates that Fontaine will be a technologically advanced nation. This aligns with the observations made from encounters with numerous NPCs during events and quests. It will be interesting to see how the underwater and land exploration mechanics enhance the overall experience, and we are eagerly anticipating further details.

Regarding the main region on the ground, glimpses of high-rise buildings and other elements that reflect technological advancements, inspired by France and Paris, can be observed. The teaser begins with a massive ship, which might serve as the entry point into Fontaine, and then transitions into showcasing underwater exploration.

Exploration Mechanics

The teaser features the Traveler using Hydro abilities, presumably acquired by interacting with one of the statues of the Seven in the nation. While the teaser shows the Traveler exploring underwater realms and unlocking chests by releasing slashes, it appears to be a gadget or a universal exploration mechanic activated when a character goes underwater.

As we are still two months away from the release of Genshin Impact 4.0, not much is known about the exploration mechanics. However, more leaks and information should surface as we approach the release date, and we will continuously update this article to ensure you stay up-to-date with the latest Fontaine leaks.
