A new leak for Genshin Impact has provided more information about the upcoming Fontaine region, which is set to be included in the next major update. The world of Teyvat is made up of seven nations, each governed by an Archon and their respective divine beliefs. Currently, the game has introduced four of these major regions: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru. As the Sumeru Archon storyline gradually reaches its conclusion, players can anticipate exploring another primary nation. The game's early story teasers have confirmed that Fontaine, a Hydro nation, will be the fifth region to be added to the game.
Over the past few months, there have been numerous rumors circulating about the upcoming content that will be introduced alongside the Hydro nation in Genshin Impact. One of the most well-known leakers in the Genshin Impact community, HutaoLover77, has recently shared another leak that provides additional details about a location called Fontaine. According to this leak, Fontaine will feature a unique twin city structure, which is a departure from HoYoverse's usual approach to world design, as the current four regions only have one main city each. These two cities in Fontaine will be in conflict with each other, and their design will draw inspiration from two beloved European capitals, London and Paris. Just like every other region in the game, Fontaine is also based on a real-life location, indicating that Genshin Impact will continue to follow this pattern in its world design.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the two cities in Genshin Impact version 3.7, as a leak has confirmed that their design will be influenced by the intriguing themes of steampunk and technology. Many players have expressed excitement about the Traveler's involvement in the conflict between the cities and are curious to see if resolving this conflict will be the main objective. Additionally, the recent Special Program event for Genshin Impact version 3.7 has teased a new diving mechanic, which has further intensified the anticipation among players. In terms of playable characters, there have been credible leaks suggesting that the first Fontaine update will introduce the well-known sibling duo, Lyney and Lynette, who were previously teased in a story teaser in 2020. According to rumors, Lyney will be a new five-star Pyro character, focusing on the main DPS role, while Lynette is expected to be a four-star Anemo character.
Another four-star character will reportedly be joining them in the upcoming update for Genshin Impact. Although Fontaine's official release date has not yet been confirmed by HoYoverse, based on the release pattern of previous regions in the game, players can anticipate Fontaine's arrival in the latter half of August. Genshin Impact is currently accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices, with a Switch version currently being developed.
