The story ofGenshin Impactportrays Fontaine as a technologically-advanced region, filled with rivers and lakes in reference to its status as the Hydro Archon’s domain.

Now, fans are getting an idea of the newest region’s geographical layout.RELATED:Genshin Impact Introduces New Character CharlotteA new update from well-knownGenshin Impactleaker Vississ has revealed more details about the overall layout and structure ofGenshin Impact’s newest region. Vississ confirms previous rumors thatplayers will first enter Fontaine from Sumeru, arriving in a countryside area similar to Sumeru’s Gandharva Ville before going to Fontaine City. Vississ revealed Fontaine City will be positioned north of Vanarana with a large body of water to the northeast, connected to the city by a river. The leak paints Fontaine’s western portion as mostly land-based with several mountains, confirming the region will be “relatively large.”
The leak from Vississ also features more information about Fontaine City itself, suggesting the city will feature a “mechanical style from the last century.” A heavily steampunk-inspired design of Fontaine would align both with past character designs of Fontaine NPCs and leaks about the city itself. A leak from one ofGenshin Impact’s closed beta tests last yearshowcases a model of a “steampunk city"that many fans have speculated to be Fontaine City. The region reportedly revolves around a central theme of “justice” while also standing as the most technologically advanced civilization within Teyvat.
