Character banners are a highlight of every Genshin Impact update, and Version 4.1 is no exception. Leaks suggest an exciting lineup of characters in the upcoming banners:

Neuvillette (Hydro, Catalyst), Hu Tao (Pyro, Polearm) Xingqiu (Hydro, Sword), Fischl (Electro, Bow), Diona (Cryo, Bow) Wriothesley (Cryo, Catalyst), Venti (Anemo, Bow)

Neuvillette and Wriothesley, both 5-star characters, are expected to make their banner debuts in Version 4.1. Neuvillette, introduced in Fontaine Archon Quest, has captured players’ hearts with his unmatched power and sentimentality.

Phase 1 of Version 4.1 will likely feature banners for Neuvillette and the fiery Hu Tao. In Phase 2, Wriothesley will finally make his banner debut, accompanied by the highly anticipated Venti rerun banner.

Genshin Impact 4.1 – Fontaine Map Expansion

The highlight of Version 4.1 is the expansion of the Fontaine region. Leaks suggest that this new area will be located just north of the Court of Fontaine region. As players explore Fontaine, they’ll encounter floating bodies of water surrounded by collapsed structures suspended in the air. This fascinating construct is the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering, and players will have the opportunity to explore this mysterious institute.

Additionally, players can look forward to exploring the Fortress of Meropide, which serves as Wriothesley’s base of operations as a prison warden. The unique design of this area features multi-layered terrain and fantastical elements, allowing players to enter floating water bodies from various angles to discover treasure or use them as shortcuts.
