HoYoverse have finally released Genshin Impact Version 4.0 featuring the Fontaine region, new limited-time events, story quests, and wishes. Version 4.0 is one of the biggest Genshin Impact updates yet as the Traveler and Paimon continue their journey to all of Teyvat’s regions.
Genshin Impact Version 4.0 allows players to continue the main story with the Traveler and Paimon. The duo head into Fontaine to learn more about the Hydro Archon, Focalors, and the story will surely take its twists and turns. Players can expect new boss battle, limited-time events, side quests, and so much more in Fontaine too.
Genshin Impact Version 4.0 Overview
After nearly five hours of maintenance today, Genshin Impact Version 4.0 is finally available. As a reward for waiting on maintenance to finish, HoYoverse is giving players 600 Primogems. Players that are Adventure Rank 5 and above are recommended to redeem these Primogems as soon as possible. The in-game mail for these Primogems will be available for exactly 30 days according to HoYoverse.
Once the update is installed, Genshin Impact players will have access to Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act I Prelude of Blancheur and Noirceur. This Archon Quest is the start of the Fontaine storyline. Players must first reach Adventure Rank 40 and complete Archon Quest Chapter III: Act VI Caribert in Sumeru, however. Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act II “As Light Rain Falls Without Reason” will also be available with the launch of Genshin Impact Version 4.0.
Three events are now available in Version 4.0, too. Players may explore Fontaine’s underwater sections and complete exploration quests to obtain rewards in the “Relic Records: Creations of the Hydro Nation” event. Additionally, players may earn four-star character Lynette for free by participating in the “The Curtain Never Falls on Magic” event. Further, the “Genius Invokation TCG” The Forge Realm’s Temper: Game of Wits event introduces new stages.
Lyney is also available now as the one of Genshin Impact’s first five-star Pyro characters from Fontaine. Genshin Impact players may summon Lyney from the Conjuring Chiaroscuro event wish alongside Lynette, Barbara, and Bennett. Yelan also makes her return in the reprised Discerner of Enigmas event wish. Both wishes will be available until September 5 alongside the updated Epitome Invocation wish featuring The First Great Magic Bow five-star bow.
Finally, Genshin Impact is available now for Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Windows and Epic Games Store. HoYoverse is currently developing a Nintendo Switch version of Genshin Impact.
