Exciting Upgrades Coming to Party Setup Screen in Genshin Impact's Fontaine Update

Genshin Impact is reportedly revamping its party setup screen, which has been criticized by players for being outdated compared to other parts of the game. Fans have praised the party selection screen in Honkai: Star Rail as an improvement, having better angles and presentation. Despite Honkai: Star Rail being a newer game, the Genshin Impact community hopes that important aspects of the game won't be neglected in favor of new content.

One major concern for fans is the inability to replay past Genshin Impact updates and events. While it may take time, the developers have indicated that they are working on this feature behind the scenes. In contrast, updating the party setup in Genshin Impact is a more manageable task, and players can expect to see it implemented during the Fontaine chapter.

Shared on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit, a user named vivliz has compiled the latest credible information on Genshin Impact, giving players a glimpse into what to expect in Version 4.0 and beyond. It is no surprise that Fontaine will introduce a new range of Artifacts and Battle Pass weapons, and fans have even been treated to a detailed look at Lyney's complete ability kit in recent leaks. However, the most exciting revelation is the overhaul of the party setup. In Fontaine, selecting a team will now be more dynamic, with characters joining through unique animations. For example, Nahida may appear on a swing, Zhongli could slowly turn around, or Kazuha can be seen sheathing his katana.

This new feature will be introduced in Update 4.0 of Genshin Impact, but leakers advise people to manage their expectations as not all characters will have these unique animations initially. Both 4-Star and 5-Star characters are expected to have these unique animations, indicating that rarity may not be a determining factor. Among the leaks, there is also a possibility that Cloud Retainer, a beloved Liyue character, will finally become playable.

Players of Genshin Impact caught a glimpse of Cloud Retainer's human form, who serves as the adoptive mother of Shenhe and Ganyu, during the recent Lantern Rite event. Speculation suggests that she may be in competition with the leaked Lion Dance Boy for the coveted featured character spot in Version 4.4. In addition, fans can anticipate an expansion of Sumeru and Mondstadt throughout the coming year, as HoYoverse aims to strike a balance between revamping existing systems and delivering fresh content. Fortunately, Genshin Impact players won't have to wait too long before experiencing the new party setup screen. This popular game is currently available on PC, Mobile, PS4, and PS5, with a Switch version currently being developed.
