HoYoverse announced the Genshin Impact 4.0 banners during the RPG’s latest livestream and unveiled two popular reruns alongside the first round of Fontaine characters. Genshin Impact 4.0 goes live on Aug. 16, 2023, and moves the story to the watery land of justice, where the real and illusory blur the lines of propriety and bring into question the Archon’s fitness to rule. It sounds like a serious story, but your new companions add a touch of whimsy and levity to combat with their backgrounds as stage performers.
