A new leak from Genshin Impact is teasing five new enemies set to be added to the game with Version 4.1, featuring both humanoid and monstrous varieties. The debut of Genshin Impact's Fontaine region has already seen a plethora of enemies added to the game's overworld, including several brand-new types of foes to battle. Fontaine's explorable area includes several new "Meka" enemies as well as a variety of aquatic life to challenge within the region's underwater areas. Now, HoYoverse is getting ready to introduce even more new enemies to the game.
While HoYoverse has yet to reveal many official details about Version 4.1, leaks have already suggested that Genshin Impact will see another major expansion with the next update. Version 4.1 is expected to add Fontaine's "Fortress of Meropide," a large prison locking up many of the Hydro region's most dangerous criminals. The update will introduce two new characters in Neuvillette and Wriothesley, as well as rumored changes to the game's daily commission system. Genshin Impact's next update is also set to bring five new enemies to the RPG with its launch next month.
A batch of leaks shared to the Genshin Impact leaks subreddit reveals the in-game renders for the five enemies coming to Genshin Impact in Version 4.1. The leak gives players a better look at the previously teased Seneschal of Wind and Seneschal of Frost, two well-dressed enemies sporting a cane and rapier respectively. Two new Meka enemies are showcased with both a large mechanical contraption and a smaller craft, with the former likely serving as a world boss. The post also features a new dragon-like enemy, likely bearing the Electro element and encountered within Fontaine's underwater areas.
While Genshin Impact's new area and characters are likely to be the highlight of Version 4.1, the RPG is expected to have plenty of events in store for players. Previous leaks have teased a login bonus for Genshin Impact's third anniversary, reportedly granting players up to 10 Intertwined Fates for the limited banner. Events during Genshin Impact's Version 4.1 update will also reportedly whisk players back to Mondstadt, with a "poetry festival" and a "fish blasting" event starring Mondstadt's Crimson Knight, Klee.
The plethora of new content planned for Genshin Impact's Version 4.1 comes after a jam-packed release for the Fontaine region. The Hydro Archon's region would debut with three new characters available in Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet, with Lynette available as a free reward for players reaching AR25. The new region has also featured multiple events during its debut patch, including tasks focused on exploring Fontaine and rewarding players with Primogems. A new area in Version 4.1 and new enemies to challenge will add even more reasons for players to keep coming back to Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
