Unveiling Exclusive Sneak Peek: Version 41 of Genshin Impact Introduces a Game-Changing Arsenal of Four New Weapons

Version 4.1 of Genshin Impact will introduce four new weapons, all featuring a steampunk aesthetic. As the Fontaine region is set to be released, players can also expect a range of new weapons to be added to the RPG. In Version 4.0, there will be 12 weapons, including the five-star bow called "The First Great Magic," and eleven four-star weapons. Some of these weapons can be obtained through the in-game crafting system. Excitingly, there are even more new weapons to be revealed. In Genshin Impact, each new character brings their own unique weapon that suits their play style. Meta-defining choices like the Thundering Pulse are popular for characters like Fischl and Yoimiya, while generic options like the "Skyward" weapons are favored by many. Additionally, four-star characters usually come with their own signature four-star weapons, often given as free rewards during special events. Now, leaks have unveiled a plethora of new weapons that will be introduced in Version 4.1.

A set of recent leaks, brought to light by notable Genshin Impact leaker Tao and shared by fellow leaker Videre, have unveiled four upcoming weapons planned for Version 4.1. While no specific names or details regarding gameplay have been disclosed, each weapon possesses a distinct steampunk-inspired design, incorporating gears extensively. Some of these weapons seem to draw inspiration from real-world objects, with the Claymore resembling a chainsaw and the Polearm featuring a drill at its tip. Anticipated to release in late September, the Version 4.1 update of Genshin Impact is on the horizon.

The introduction of Version 4.1 in Genshin Impact brings forth a variety of new weapons, expanding the choices available to players. Fontaine's launch not only includes craftable weapons, but also introduces five new weapons to the game's battle pass for the first time ever. These new Battle Pass weapons offer powerful generic abilities, such as bonus damage to Charged Attacks with the "Scion of the Blazing Sun" bow and off-field HP and Elemental Mastery with the "Sacrificial Jade" weapon. Players who opt for the premium Battle Pass will have the option to select from the new weapons or the existing premium ones.

Version 4.1 of Genshin Impact marks the start of a significant update that accompanies Fontaine's release. Leaks strongly suggest that this update will feature the game's first map expansion, rumored to be the introduction of a "Prison" area. Additionally, HoYoverse has confirmed the arrival of two new characters in Version 4.1: Fontaine's Chief Justice, Neuvilette, and the highly anticipated Wriothesley. As the Fontaine cycle unfolds, Genshin Impact's collection of characters and weapons is set to expand considerably in future updates.

Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
