A new leak from Genshin Impact is teasing the appearance of either an enemy or mount set to debut with the Version 4.8 update. As the Fontaine cycle for the massively popular HoYoverse RPG begins to wind down, players have been given plenty of reasons to be excited about the game's future. The upcoming Version 5.0 will introduce the game's newest region of Natlan, and leaks have already begun to suggest that Genshin Impact will be adding mounts within its next area. Now, leaks may potentially be giving a first teaser of the new system.
Much like each previous region's final update, Genshin Impact's upcoming Version 4.8 update is rumored to introduce plenty of teasers for the game's next region. Past leaks have suggested that Genshin Impact players will be visiting a new limited-time area during the final Fontaine patch, featuring an event story centered around the Hexenzirkel. Teasers have also hinted at players getting their first taste of Genshin Impact's mount system, with the limited zone set to include a similar mechanic. Fresh leaks are now showing a new NPC from Version 4.8's exclusive area.
Genshin Impact Leak Hints at New Version 4.8 NPC
A recent update shared by Genshin Impact leaker Miruko shows off the appearance of one of Genshin Impact's newest creatures. The image shows a mechanical dragon that will appear during Version 4.8, featuring textured 3D models of both the dragon's head and one of its feet. The leak did not confirm whether the unusual dragon NPC would be a mount that players could control or an enemy to fight during the update. The poster also shared that players would be able to discover the dragon during a "secret scene" within Version 4.8's main event.
The addition of Genshin Impact's newest limited-time area is far from the only thing planned for the Fontaine region's swan song. HoYoverse recently confirmed Emilie as Genshin Impact's next five-star character, with leaks revealing her to be a Dendro Polearm user. Leaks have also hinted at potential major changes to come to the RPG with its next update, including removing the spawn cooldowns for Genshin Impact's world bosses. Version 4.8 is currently expected to launch on July 17.
While leaks are already teasing the new content to come with Genshn Impact's next update, Version 4.7 brought plenty to the table for fans. The ongoing Genshin Impact update introduced three brand-new characters to the game's playable roster, with five-star characters Clorinde and Sigewinne and four-star character Sethos available. July will also welcome the launch of Genshin Impact's newest endgame content, with the debut of the Imaginarium Theater. Between new endgame content, a limited-time area, and a full new region, Genshin Impact fans have plenty in store throughout the summer.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
