• Fontaine: A brand-new region is debuting, so much of the nation should be showcased.
• Underwater mechanics: A new gameplay mechanic is debuting in the upcoming update, so it would be logical to show it off (especially since it appeared in the 3.7 and 3.8 Special Programs.
• Pneuma and Ousia: Another new gameplay mechanic tied to Fontaine characters' abilities.
• Several new weapons: New Battle Pass and forgeable weapons will be released, plus Lyney's signature Bow.
• New artifacts: Marechaussee Hunter and Golden Troupe are coming out in this update.
• New menu animations: All characters will get new intro animations in the Genshin Impact 4.0 character menu.
• New events: Every livestream features upcoming events, so the upcoming one should be no different.

The Genshin Impact 4.0 Special Program livestream is going to be a lot more detailed than just a simple Fontaine trailer. No content for the actual video has been leaked yet, but these types of broadcasts typically range from 30 minutes to one hour long. Note that anybody who misses it can always find the whole stream on YouTube.
