In the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 4.0, players will finally have the opportunity to explore Fontaine. This stunning city is inspired by European architecture and culture, and it features an expansive region with underwater caverns and channels. For the first time, players will be able to swim underwater as the Traveler, allowing them to reach previously inaccessible areas and partake in new activities. Additionally, players can embark on fresh bounties, summon new characters, and collect new ascension materials and weapons.
HoYoverse's recent HoYoLab blog post has confirmed the addition of 12 new weapons in Genshin Impact Version 4.0, scheduled for release next week.

The Epitome Invocation event wish in Genshin Impact Version 4.0 will grant players access to the First Great Magic. Alongside this, the newly introduced four-star weapons can be obtained through blacksmith forging or by opening Battle Pass Bounty chests. To unlock the Battle Pass, players need to reach Adventure Rank 20 or higher, and to obtain BP Bounty chests, they must purchase the Gnostic Hymn or Gnostic Chorus packages with real-world currency. Additionally, the Fleuve Cendre Ferryman sword is exclusively available to Fontaine Fishing Association members who must complete a quest and catch rare fish to obtain it.
Genshin Impact fans will find a plethora of weapons waiting to be unlocked in Fontaine. The region's new domains will prove invaluable for ascending these weapons to level 90, as they require Fontaine's exclusive ascension materials. Moreover, future Genshin Impact events are expected to introduce more weapons and opportunities to acquire ascension materials. These materials may also be necessary for the new characters arriving in Genshin Impact's 4.1 update.
The 4.0 update for Genshin Impact is set to launch on August 16th. This gives players approximately five days to accumulate Primogems and get ready for the arrival of the new Fontaine character banners. Additionally, beloved characters like Zhongli and Tartaglia will be making a comeback in phase 2 of Version 4.0.
Genshin Impact is currently accessible on Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. A Nintendo Switch version is also in the works, but there is no confirmed release date at this time.
