Various Genshin Impact leaks have discussed some of Fontaine's lore and upcoming plot. These types of rumors are often the most subject to change. Nonetheless, it's worth looking at what the current leaks discuss regarding the upcoming region that many Travelers are hyped to visit in Version 4.0. Several characters have also been leaked, but this article will primarily cover the story.The new region will debut around August 16, 2023, once Genshin Impact 4.0 launches. HoYoverse had released very little information on the area when this article was written, so Travelers will have to rely on text leaks for any knowledge about Fontaine.Genshin Impact leaks: Fontaine plotNothing to say@papatronic_cTraveller: Huh, Rhodeia?

Oh, it was then that became lost and fained in the desert...I must say, this desert is really just too vast!The first major Genshin Impact leak regarding Fontaine's lore comes from the 3.8 beta. Idyia is an NPC from the main event of that Version Update and has been leaked to transform into an Oceanid. This dialogue refers to the Traveler asking Idyia about the Rhodeia of Loch (also known as the Oceanid that players farm for Cleansing Hearts).Oceanids left Fontaine an unspecified time ago because the region was full of "pain and hatred." Some members of this species are now in the desert so that players can see them in the main event of Genshin Impact 3.8. Note that the update after 3.8 is Version 4.0 when Fontaine will be released.Old Fontaine plot leaksDaily Fontaine ⚖️@FontaineDaiIyAnd now is the time for us to pretend surprise3833270And now is the time for us to pretend surprise https://t.co/wQithHDBsWSome supposed plot points for the new region include:Upper classes vs. lower classesWealth gap issuesEnvironmental pollutionThis particular leak is described as "sussy," which means there is no guarantee that the information shown here is 100% accurate.

The accuracy of this font is high (90 %), so I put it in my main account."Vississ claims this leak is reliable, although several other old leaks have stated that Arlecchino would be playable. If this rumor is true, the playable female Fatui Harbinger would be Sandrone or Columbina instead.Fatui Harbingers have died in Genshin Impact's plot before. La Signora was infamously executed in the Inazuma Archon Storyline. Something similar could happen here with Arlecchino, but players should be skeptical until more proof is provided due to the contradictory information on hand.Character leaks~✨Malaka✨~@Malaka726Full character list from Fontaine… All hail the French Revolution 🤓#GenshinImapact #Genshin_impact6Full character list from Fontaine… All hail the French Revolution 🙌🤓#GenshinImapact #Genshin_impact https://t.co/Z39FzliZAqSeveral characters have already been leaked to debut in one of the patches from 4.0 onward.
