The next major region of Genshin Impact, Fontaine, is right around the corner! With the Version 4.0 update, a fresh chapter is about to unfold for Genshin Impact, poised to elevate this immensely popular open-world action RPG to even greater heights. Fontaine marks the fifth region expansion of Genshin Impact and is set to showcase a unique steampunk aesthetic, drawing inspiration from both England's Industrial Revolution and the Belle époque era in France.

Being the most technologically advanced nation in Teyvat, Fontaine operates with a unique judicial system that draws its power from the opulent Opera Epiclese and distinctive Arkhe system. Version 4.0 will also introduce the long-awaited diving mechanic, opening the doors to a new era of underwater exploration.
