What a weekend for Genshin Impact fans! After several leaks, rumors, and speculation, HoYoverse finally gave us the first sneak peek of Fontaine in Genshin Impact. During the latest 3.8 Special Program, we saw some areas of Fontaine and some of the mechanics coming to the game. Many thought HoYoverse had set the bar high with Sumeru, but this time they knocked it out of the park with the new Hydro Nation. It is uncertain when it’ll arrive, but given the release schedule of the game’s version, we can speculate on when we’ll journey to this new area.

The underwater exploration mechanic was one of the biggest things we saw during the sneak peek of Fontaine in Genshin Impact. Given how this is the Hydro Nation, this new feature fits perfectly. Yet, many players wonder if more things are coming to this area. It is uncertain if this new mechanic will work outside of Fontaine. If it does, players will have another reason to return to old nations and dive while looking for treasures or other things.

Besides that, the sneak peek of Fontaine in Genshin Impact also showed some beautiful landscapes from this new Hydro Nation. We’ve already seen some through the latest concept art leaks, but seeing them fully modeled is fantastic. While we didn’t see many characters, we already know HoYoverse has a huge roster coming to this expansion. There are dozen of unreleased characters which might arrive in the coming months. While nothing has been confirmed, we’re just a few weeks away from traveling to this place. Whether you want to pull for new characters or get the last re-runs of 3.8, you should save your Primogems because this game’s cast is about to get bigger.
