As if the release of Zenless Zone Zero wasn’t enough, HoYoverse has even more content. One of its most important games, Genshin Impact, presented its Special Program 4.8. With each showcase, many of us wait for the patch’s next husbando, and especially for the waifus. Although this livestream had even more, it left another glimpse of Natlan, which made me want to know more. While this is the end of Fontaine, it isn’t the end of our Teyvat journey.
This next update covers the final part of Fontaine, and HoYoverse repeats its summer formula of adding an exclusive map for a limited time. This final Version of the Hydro nation will have a main event centered on the “Fairy Tale” theme. If you missed it, these are the key points of the Genshin Impact Special Progam 4.8:

I’m excited about all the content that awaits Genshin Impact 4.8, but in this Special Program, there were more crumbs from Natlan. The most important thing is the appearance of three characters that had only appeared in leaks: a guy with a Dendro Vision using Claymore, a girl with Hydro Vision, and a loli with Geo Vision. I can’t wait to see firsthand the mini-games with Navia, Nilou, and Kirara, although I’d rather go straight to the 5.0 update.
