Mind-Blowing Scale: Genshin Impact's Fontaine City Unveiled in Jaw-Dropping Comparison to Game Map

A leaked image in Genshin Impact compared the size of the upcoming Fontaine region to the current in-game map. The game has followed a pattern of introducing one major region per year, with the most recent being the Dendro nation. Now, with the conclusion of the main storyline in Sumeru, players are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to explore the new region of Fontaine. The game has already released several promotional videos showcasing a significant portion of the upcoming content, such as playable terrain, characters, and storylines.

Over the past few months, several leaks have provided more details about the Hydro nation and its location on the map. A recent post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has offered additional information about Fontaine and its relative size compared to other regions. The leaked content reveals a new section of the map that will be introduced in Genshin Impact version 4.0, expected to be released around mid-August as per HoYoverse's regular update schedule. Many fans in the comment section express their surprise that Fontaine is not as close to the Liyue region as they had anticipated; however, there is a strong possibility that this gap will be bridged in future expansions.

According to leaked maps, Fontaine is composed of several islands with abundant rivers, fitting its reputation as the Hydro nation. Recent teaser videos for Genshin Impact have revealed a new diving mechanic, allowing players to explore underwater depths. This has sparked speculation that players will have the opportunity to revisit and discover underwater areas in previously released regions, such as the rumored underwater dungeon in the Cider Lake surrounding the City of Freedom, possibly as part of the highly anticipated Mondstadt update. In terms of new playable characters, Genshin Impact's official social media accounts have confirmed the upcoming introduction of three playable units: Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet.

Lyney is anticipated to be the sole addition of a five-star character in Genshin Impact update 4.0, whereas Lynette and Freminet are speculated to possess a lower four-star rarity. Limited information regarding their inclusion in the Limited Character Banners is currently unavailable, but it is reasonable to assume that at least one fresh character will be showcased in the initial phase of version 4.0.

Genshin Impact can be accessed on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, with a Switch version currently in progress.
