Highlights

Genshin Impact fan shares comparison images of current regions with previous placeholder models, showcasing the game's progress.

The Fontaine region underwent extensive changes, transitioning from a simple mountainous area to a stunning futuristic cityscape. Speculation arises regarding a map expansion in version 4.1, where a previously inaccessible section of Fontaine may be unveiled in September or October.

A Genshin Impact fan has shared a collection of intriguing images comparing the current versions of various regions with their previous placeholder models before players were able to visit them. The game's reputation for regular updates has allowed HoYoverse to continuously expand the game's playable terrain.

To date, Genshin Impact has unveiled five out of the seven major regions, with only Natlan and Snezhnaya remaining as Teyvat's untapped nations. The latest update, version 4.0, has at last introduced the Fontaine region, where players can immerse themselves in the exploration of numerous distinctive locations within this renowned Hydro nation.

A Reddit user named Serfo has posted an intriguing series of images comparing the game's iconic locations to their previous placeholder models. This captivating post received significant attention on Genshin Impact's official subreddit, with over 5.6k upvotes and many fans praising Serfo's effort in capturing images of 17 different locations from all corners of the world of Teyvat. Some fans have noted that this collection serves as further evidence of the game's progress, highlighting the expansion from the initial release of the Anemo region Mondstadt in 2020 to the inclusion of five vast regions teeming with distinctive characters and their stories.

Fans have particularly pointed out that the region of Fontaine, depicted in the final image, underwent the most noticeable changes compared to the other regions showcased in the post. The region's once simple mountainous skyline has undergone a stunning transformation into a picturesque cityscape. Fontaine's main city boasts a futuristic design that reflects the region's fascination with technology.

The Fontaine region combines elements of 1910s France with a futuristic theme, giving it a unique and distinctive feel. The entrance to Fontaine, once made up of mountains, has been transformed into a stunning landscape featuring a magnificent waterfall.

While no specific information about the size of Fontaine is available, it is likely to follow a similar approach as the Sumeru region, which was larger than both Liyue and Mondstadt combined. Recent rumors suggest that players can expect a map expansion in the upcoming Genshin Impact version 4.1, unlocking a new part of Fontaine. This update is expected to arrive in the second half of September or early October.

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