Highlights
Genshin Impact Version 4.0 will introduce the Fontaine region, and players need to make sufficient story progress to access it.
Players should finish mini-games and event quests in the Veluriyam Mirage area before the upcoming update, as it will render the area inaccessible. Additionally, in order to access Fontaine, players must successfully complete specific Archon quests. It is highly advisable to also complete all story quests within the Sumeru storyline to stay up-to-date.
Genshin Impact has announced the requirements for accessing the Fontaine region in the upcoming Version 4.0 update. This update will come almost a year after the Sumeru region was first made available, and players will need to progress in the story to reach Fontaine.
The final update for the Sumeru region, Genshin Impact Version 3.8, was released on July 5. This update introduced the Veluriyam Mirage, a mythical forested area with mini-games and secrets. Once Version 4.0 is released, the Veluriyam Mirage will no longer be accessible, and players will finally be able to explore the Fontaine region. The new update is expected to launch later this month, leaving players with only a few weeks to enjoy the mini-games, complete event quests, and unlock rewards in the Veluriyam Mirage.
The official Genshin Impact Twitter account provided an update on the requirements to enter the Fontaine region in Version 4.0. Players who have completed "Archon Quest Prologue: Act 3 Song of the Dragon and Freedom" will unlock the Realm of Farakhkert Teleport Waypoint in Sumeru. This waypoint is conveniently situated near the entrance to Fontaine, allowing for easy travel. Additionally, completing the "Archon Quest Chapter 3: Act 6 Caribert" grants access to the Fontaine Archon Quest. It is recommended to complete all the story quests in the Sumeru storyline before venturing into Fontaine. The progress of optional quests in Sumeru does not impact access to Fontaine. More information will be shared in the Genshin Impact Version 4.0 Special Program live stream.
The requirements to enter Fontaine are simple, and with Version 4.0 launching this month, countless Genshin Impact players will be prepared. Fontaine offers a captivating architectural design and breathtaking locations, making it a must-visit destination for Genshin Impact enthusiasts. Moreover, this region introduces distinctive gameplay elements not found in other areas of the game, such as the ability to swim underwater for a limited time.
Genshin Impact fans seeking further details about the Fontaine region and its story quests should tune in to the Special Program airing later this week. As viewers watch the live stream and gain more insight into Fontaine, HoYoverse will also unveil new Genshin Impact promo codes.
Genshin Impact is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. A Nintendo Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
