Genshin Impact Leak: Wanderer's Role in Fontaine Story Revealed

A recent leak from Genshin Impact has disclosed the involvement of the beloved character Wanderer in the upcoming Fontaine region's story. Wanderer, who was introduced in Version 1.1, quickly became one of the most highly-anticipated characters in the HoYoverse RPG before his debut in Version 3.3. As a former Fatui Harbinger, he plays a significant role in the Sumeru region's narrative and has become a preferred choice for many players who run Anemo-focused teams. Fans of the game will be thrilled to hear that Wanderer will continue to have an important role in Genshin Impact.

Details about the Fontaine region's story are scarce, but in-game lore and teaser trailers provide some insight. Fontaine is known for being one of Teyvat's most technologically advanced regions, with a heavy emphasis on "justice," as seen in the "Travail" trailer. The region is also rumored to feature vast rivers and bodies of water, as it is the home of the Hydro Archon. According to the leaks, Wanderer will make an appearance in the aquatic region, adding another layer of excitement for fans eagerly anticipating the release of the Fontaine update.

According to a recent leak shared by prominent Genshin Impact leaker Vississ via fellow leaker HutaoLover77, Wanderer is set to play a role in the game's upcoming Fontaine region story. This news comes after rumors were quelled that the character would appear in Version 3.8. Wanderer, who was formerly known as Scaramouche, has already visited two major regions throughout the story, and his appearance in Fontaine will mark his third.

However, Wanderer is not the only Fatui member set to appear in Fontaine. Multiple others are rumored to play major parts, including the game's third playable Fatui member, heavily suggested to be a female member like Sandrone or Arlecchino. It has also been rumored that Dottore, who served as Sumeru's Fatui antagonist, will make an appearance during the story of Fontaine.

Fans can expect the Fontaine region to arrive in Genshin Impact with Version 4.0, which is believed to be coming in August.

The Fatui's Eleven Harbingers have played a significant role as antagonists in each of Genshin Impact's regions. As of now, three members of the Fatui have already been introduced as weekly bosses, including Tartaglia, Signora, and Scaramouche. The game's developer, HoYoverse, has also hinted at the existence of other Fatui characters through trailers like "A Winter Night's Lazzo" and in-game dialogue. It is expected that the Fatui will continue to play a vital role in Genshin Impact's story with the upcoming release of a new region. Genshin Impact is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices, with a Switch version in development.
