Genshin Impact 4.1 banners

The official Genshin Impact social media account has revealed promotional material for both Wriothesley and Neuvillette – two upcoming characters. While this doesn’t exactly confirm their release in 4.1, the developers are known for teasing units just before they are released. 

Not much is known about either character, but HoYoverse has revealed that Wriothesley is the Lord of the Fortress of Meropide and wields a Cryo vision. Meanwhile, Neuvillette is a Hydro character who is known as the Iudex of Fontaine.

Genshin Impact 4.1 enemies

According to a leak posted on the Genshin Impact leaks Reddit page, there will be two new bosses appearing in the 4.1 update. The first appears to be a new automaton enemy type, that uses AoE-based attacks to shock players.

A post on a Chinese forum notes that the boss will use “gravity-modifying mechanics, lowering gravity across the whole arena, increasing everyone’s jump height”. The other main boss looks a like an Electro beast that has striking similarities to a seahorse.

From the image posted above, players will likely need to destroy the crystals in order to stop the boss from unleashing devastating electrical attacks. Another leak has also showcased the Seneschal of Frost and Seneschal of Wind, two Fontaine enemies who look like traditional magicians. 

Quite how these units will perform in-game remains to be seen, but for now, that’s all the information we currently have. 

Genshin Impact 4.1 map leak

While previous Fontaine leaks gave us a glimpse of the game’s underwater exploration, we finally have details on the region’s overall size. If the leaked image above is to be accurate, then the land of Fontaine itself will be fairly sizeable once the new section has been released. Of course, like all leaks, this should be taken with a grain of salt and could change before release.
