Version 4.2 brought an end to the main Fontaine storyline, so many players consider the following updates as "filler patches" until the fiery nation of Natlan arrives. HoYoverse, however, isn't letting Fontaine fizzle out – exciting plans are brewing for the remaining part of the cycle, with a wealth of quests and events to keep players engaged!

Players can also look forward to two new 5-star characters, Clorinde and Sigewinne, arriving in Version 4.7, a rare occurrence especially this far into a cycle.
