Genshin Impact 4.0 Trailer Shows New Fontaine Region, Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet, More
Rumors have been running rampant for some time, but today HoYoverse officially pulled the wraps off Genshin Impact’s major 4.0 update. As anticipated, 4.0 introduces the new region of Fontaine, a water-themed land described as a “hub of culture, art, and technology.” Basically, the region has a bit of a European, steampunk flare to it. According to HoYoverse, in Fontaine “trials have become important public events at the Opera Epiclese” and the latest core Archon story quest will see players “witness a masterful magic show by Lyney and Lynette as well as an ongoing trial.” You’ll also be able to explore and even engage in battles underwater in Fontaine. You can check out the overview trailer for Genshin Impact 4.0, below.
Of course, the most exciting part of any update for many fans are the new lineup of characters, with 4.0 offering up the 5-star Lyney and 4-star Lynette and Freminet. Here’s a quick rundown on them…
Lyney and Lynette will be available to unlock via Genshin Impact’s gacha system right away when 4.0 drops, while Freminet will debut a bit later. As usual, HoYoverse also teases a number of other characters who will arrive with 4.0 updates. We see Furina (the Hydro Archon), Neuvillette (the judge guy with the long hair), Navia (the fancy-looking lady with the hat and the long blonde hair), and Clorinde (the girl with the sword in the captain’s uniform).
Interestingly, HoYoverse is also promising some improvements to the PlayStation versions of the game, including Global Illumination, faster loading, and gyroscopic aiming.
Genshin Impact 4.0 launches on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices on August 16.
