Exclusive: Stunning Reveals of Fontaine's Concept Art for Genshin Impact

Recent leaks for Genshin Impact have provided more details about Fontaine, a forthcoming major region set to be introduced in update 4.0. As the Sumeru storyline nears its conclusion, the time has come for HoYoverse, the game's developer, to unveil a new primary nation to the players. Following a consistent pattern, HoYoverse has consistently introduced new major regions in August and September since the game's launch in 2020. During the recent live stream event for update 3.7, Genshin Impact offered a glimpse of Fontaine through a teaser, showcasing one of the two main characters engaging in a new diving mechanic.

A credible leaker in the Genshin Impact community, memetrollsXD, has unveiled a captivating collection of concept artworks showcasing the diverse locations that players can expect to explore in the upcoming Hydro nation. Based on these images, it appears that the region will be characterized by its abundance of lakes, rivers, and waterfalls, perfectly aligning with the Hydro element it represents. One particularly intriguing aspect depicted in the artwork is a city boasting a futuristic aesthetic, which aligns with the official storyline of Genshin Impact, confirming that the people of Fontaine hold technology and justice in high regard. Additionally, the artwork showcases several dungeon-like settings, suggesting that the region will offer an extensive array of underground content.

While the addition of a new element in Sumeru has generated excitement among fans, many are even more eager to witness the overall design of Fontaine due to numerous leaks hinting at its twin city concept. It is highly likely that the conflict between these two cities will serve as a central theme in the upcoming Archon quest.

According to Travelers, there is a lot of anticipation to see how HoYoverse will incorporate the Hydro element into the nation's appearance. The post mentions that there will be a significant number of buildings constructed above water surfaces. In a leak from 2020, it was revealed that Fontaine's main city model could be connected to a vertical platform, leading players to speculate that it will be surrounded by multiple waterfalls.

Leaked information about playable units has provided fans with insights into various characters, including Lyney, Lynette, Writhesley, Focalors, and others. Recent rumors surrounding Genshin Impact suggest that the first Fontaine update will introduce a five-star character named Lyney, as well as two four-star units, Lynette and another character with a lower rarity.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
