Genshin Impact Fans on the Edge of Their Seats: Fontaine Unveils Electrifying New Gliding Animations!

Fans of Genshin Impact have a belief that the upcoming Fontaine region might introduce a fresh gliding animation to the game. By pressing the jump button while in mid-air, players are able to deploy their Gliders. The game offers a variety of gliders that can be obtained by spending Primogems or participating in limited events.

Additionally, certain Genshin Impact gliders have been given out for free as a result of collaborations between the game and various restaurant chains such as Pizza Hut, as well as other online services like Prime Gaming. Players have been requesting adjustments to the gliding mechanics ever since the game's debut in 2020.

A Reddit user named lhofi initiated a captivating discussion on the official Genshin Impact subreddit, attracting significant attention from the community. Pointing out an intriguing detail from the recent Fontaine teaser showcased at the conclusion of the previous Special Program event for version 3.8, the user highlighted that an airborne female character can be observed utilizing an umbrella. This discovery has led many players to speculate that this animation may be replicated in future updates of the game.

The character featured in the trailer is named Navia, and she is expected to join as a new five-star Geo character. This announcement has generated excitement among fans, especially considering that the last Geo user to be added to the roster was Yunjin, back in early 2022. Despite the consistent release of around two new characters per update throughout the Sumeru arc, it has been over 500 days since the last new Geo user was introduced to the game.

Many comments in the comment section mention the idea of certain five-star characters having distinctive gliding abilities, which would be a cool addition. However, others have pointed out that if HoYoverse intended to include this feature in the game, they would likely have showcased it in promotional videos for Fontaine.

To learn more about this unique character, players may have to wait for the release of Navia. Currently, there are no reliable leaks regarding her release date, but HoYoverse has confirmed that she will not be joining the playable roster in the upcoming Genshin Impact version 4.0.

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