Every Important Fontaine announcement dates till Genshin Impact 4.0 update: Livestream and Drip Marketing details

The fifth region of Genshin Impact's storyline is about to release in the upcoming 4.0 update. The land of justice, Fontaine, will be introduced alongside a whole new chapter of Archon Quests, a bunch of new characters, and many quality-of-life changes. While several leaks about the new region are already surfacing on the internet, not much has been heard from HoYoverse officially.

Usually, Genshin Impact reveals information about its forthcoming updates through its three well-established channels. The first one is through Drip Marketing, where they showcase upcoming character designs. The second one is through the Special Program livestreams, where HoYoverse glosses over the contents of its forthcoming update. Finally, the third channel is their official YouTube, where trailers and character demos are released.

While not much has been disclosed about the Fontaine 4.0 update, a recent leak has provided insight into when can we expect something.
