Genshin Impact Version 4.1 Update "To the Stars Shining in the Depths" Scheduled for September 27

Genshin Impact Version 4.1, titled "To the Stars Shining in the Depths," was announced by HoYoverse and is set to release on September 27, 2023. This update will continue the major plot objectives when you explore the Fontaine region further north.

Explore the Underwater Fortress of Meropide

The major new area coming in 4.1 is the Fortress of Meropide, an intricate underwater complex inhabited by Fontaine's criminals and exiles. The metal edifice operates independently from Fontaine's legal system and features spotlights, pipelines, and gears spanning multiple floors.

The Archon Quest will progress here as you search for Childe and encounter the new character Wriothesley, Chief Administrator of the fortress. This massive underwater structure hides more secrets and functions to uncover.

Take on New Bosses

Two new bosses will test your skills in battle. The Millennial Pearl Seahorse elegantly leaps through the Liffey Region's waters, but can unleash fierce electro attacks. You'll need to be nimble to avoid this mystical monster's devastating blows.

The Experimental Field Generator was once a gravity-manipulating device that has gone haywire after a past accident. When battling this relic, prepare for weightlessness effects that affect jumping and evasion.

Meet New Playable Characters

Genshin Impact 4.1 introduces two new 5-star characters. The hydro catalyst user Neuvillette is the revered Chief Justice Iudex of Fontaine's legal system. In combat, he utilizes health-draining torrents and self-healing.
