With Genshin Impact 4.0’s imminent release later this year, new information about the update is revealed, either by developer HoYoverse or leaks. Version 4.0 is highly anticipated, as it is the patch that will introduce the new region of Fontaine and, with it, a roster of new characters, more main story missions (named Archon Quests), exclusive gameplay mechanics, including underwater exploration, and much more. The release of the Nation of Justice led by the Hydro Archon also marks the popular action RPG’s third year, following its initial release back in 2020.
As a live-service game, Genshin Impact constantly receives new content through smaller patches but tends to receive a larger update every year. In 2022, Version 3.0 added the region of Sumeru and Dendro as a playable Element, forever changing the gameplay meta. While Genshin Impact 4.0’s release will not bring any new Elements into play per si, there are rumors about new gameplay mechanics, as well as a series of new playable characters that are in line with Fontaine’s lore – many of which have been somewhat confirmed by HoYoverse.
If there are no internal delays and the game’s usual six-week schedule between updates is taken into consideration, it is possible to predict when the next patch is arriving. Updates for the game tend to arrive on Wednesdays and, considering patch 3.8 was released on July 5, it is possible to speculate that Genshin Impact 4.0’s release date is August 16. This has yet to be officially confirmed by HoYoverse during the version livestream, which is expected to occur between August 4 and August 6, but it is the best guess at the moment.
Many Genshin Impact 4.0 Fontaine character leaks were proven to be correct with HoYoverse’s official teaser trailer for the new region, which was shared on Genshin Impact’s official YouTube channel. The short animated video showed new scenes with Lyney and Lynette, the magician duo who were also the first confirmed Fontaine characters ever. Before they appear, however, the beginning of the video shows a character slowly sinking into the water. This character is Freminet, Lyney and Lynette’s younger brother, and an upcoming playable hero that had been heavily leaked before his official confirmation.
The same teaser trailer shows a new Genshin Impact 4.0 character called Navia. She is a Geo user who wears elegant Fontaine clothing. She may be introduced in Version 4.0 or in any future updates that continue the Fontaine story arc. The same can be said about Wriothesley and Sigewinne, whose designs were confirmed in the trailer. It is uncertain exactly how these characters will be introduced to the Traveler and how they will become allies, but they are a part of the Fontaine campaign.
