Genshin Impact 4.0 release date speculation, new characters and Fontaine region

The Genshin Impact 4.0 release date is set for this year, and there’s enough information available to get player excited to Fontaine. There’s no telling what Genshin Impact 4.0 will bring, but we have some ideas about what the developers might be working on.

Genshin Impact 4.0 release date speculation

Based on the assumption that Genshin Impact follows its usual patch cycle of approximately 42 days and considering the upcoming release of Genshin Impact 3.8 on July 5th, players can anticipate the arrival of Genshin Impact 4.0 around August 16th.

New characters

Here are some of the Fontaine characters confirmed so far:

  • Freminet
  • Lyney
  • Lynette
  • Navia
  • Wriothesley
  • Sigewinne
  • Clorinde
  • Arlecchino
  • Furina
  • Neuvillette

Fontaine region

As one of Teyvat’s seven nations, Fontaine has been mentioned by numerous NPCs throughout the world. Fontaine, which in French means “fountain,” is the location of the Hydro region. Similar to the Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun, and the Dendro Archon, Nahida, the Hydro Archon is likely to appear in this region at some point, though we currently know nothing about this mysterious figure.

One of the few NPCs in the game who is from Fontaine is Caspar, who can be found in Liyue. His attire suggests that the people of Fontaine may be relatively well-off. Caspar says he appreciates the landscape in Liyue because it is “completely different from my homeland.” If the leaked footage of Fontaine is genuine, the landscape would look very different from Liyue due to the presence of moving cogs and running water.

At this time, that is all the information we have regarding Genshin Impact 4.0.
