Genshin Impact 4.0 to introduce The Steambird newspaper from Fontaine
As Teyvat's main source of news, The Steambird is quite popular amongst Genshin Impact's cast. It has been mentioned multiple times in the lore with its HQ located near Hotel Debord. Euphrasie has reported on all of the Travelers' heroics in the previous nations of Mondstadt and Inazuma.
During the Evermotion Mechanical Painting event, Felix Youge, an event-exclusive NPC, revealed that the Travelers' battle with Dvalin made headlines in The Steambird for three whole weeks. There were even full-page hand-drawn illustrations about it. He informed that the newspaper's sales hit record numbers at that point. According to him, they described the Traveler as a straight-shooting knight.
When Charlotte met Kaedehara Kazuha during the Genshin Impact's version 3.7 flagship event, she was awed by his presence due to the latter making headlines in The Steambird for his role in the Inazuma Archon Quests. Kazuha captured the imagination of everyone in Fontaine due to the fact that he was able to block Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi.
