Genshin Impact 4.0 release date: Fontaine news and what to expect
radiotimes.comThe Fontaine update is nearly here — the Genshin Impact 4.0 release date has been confirmed! We’ll soon have a new region to explore so if you thought you were done with the game, think again.
Known as the ‘As Light Rain Falls Without Reason’ update, version 4.0 is a big new free addition to the already massive game.
On top of adding a whole new region to explore, the 4.0 update in Genshin Impact adds in new and returning Banners, new events, and will presumably make a load of balance and gameplay changes/fixes.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Genshin Impact 4.0 release date, the latest news on Fontaine, and everything else it’s adding.
The Genshin Impact 4.0 release date is Wednesday 16 August 2023, the developer has confirmed. Its launch time in the UK is expected to be 4am on 16 August, meaning those in the USA should get to download and play the new update from the late evening on 15 August.
The launch timings are based on previous update releases in Genshin Impact and how long its servers went down for maintenance for them. 4.0, therefore, could be ready to play just before or after 4am.
Our advice? Just get up at your normal time on the 16th and the update should be live and ready for you to download.
