HoYoverse released asignificant update forGenshin Impact, which adds an entirely new region, battle pass weapons, playable characters, and TCG Genius Invokation cards. The game expands on Teyvat’s massive map with Fontaine, where players can take on new enemy types, stroll through a living city, and try out underwater diving mechanics. However, this explorable region is not all about gruesome enemies and underwater sections, as it hosts many characters that add to the ongoing Archon storyline. While traveling across gorgeous locales in Fontaine, players will encounter interesting NPCs, such as non-human Melusines that patrol different streets.

According to a recentGenshin Impactleak, version 4.1 will include several map expansions and new enemy types that look very similar to playable female characters. Named Seneschal of Frost and Seneschal of Wind, these enemies have stylish outfits. Fellow players on the Reddit thread claimed this is the exact aesthetic they want on a female character, with some speculating that both ladies must be related toGenshin Impact’s Arlecchino, given they share some design elements of her outfit.
ConsideringGenshin Impact’s Fontaineis a multi-layered map, this map expansion should add more regions thanwhat’s being shown in the image. It looks like Fontaine will fill out the massive gap in the center of Teyvat and remain diversified with natural attractions like islands, mountains, and underwater sections. On the flip side, there is a brand-new event weapon called Ballad of the Boundless Blue, which increases normal attack damage by 16% and charged attack damage by 12% for 6 seconds. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3 secondsaccording to the description on the leaked image.
Genshin Impactversion 4.1 will also bring two new playable characters, Wriothesley and Neuvillette, whose elements and skill sets haven’t been officially revealed yet. The previous leaks have indicated that Wriothesley will be a five-star Catalyst user, while Neuvillette will have a Hydro Vision like Tartaglia and Yelan. Players will have to wait a little longer to learn more about their skills, signature weapons, and elements.
Genshin Impactis available for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is now in development.
