Speculation about Idyia's connection to the Oceanids suggests a new link between the Penumbra region and the upcoming Fontaine region. Penumbra is widely believed to be a precursor to Fontaine, and players can expect to encounter characters and design elements inspired by the region. In fact, game lore has already hinted at the Oceanids' origins in Fontaine, where Version 4.0 is set to be released soon after Version 3.8. As the release date approaches, leaks have begun to surface, revealing exciting new details about Fontaine, including leaked character lineups and glimpses of the region's aquatic life.
