A new leak fromGenshin Impacthas revealed the involvement of the fan-favorite Wanderer with the story of the upcoming Fontaine region. Before his debut in Version 3.3, Wanderer was one of the HoYoverse RPG’s most highly-anticipated characters, first being introduced not long after the game’s launch in Version 1.1. The former Fatui Harbinger plays a major role in the story of the Sumeru region and has becomea popular DPS choicefor many players running Anemo-focused teams. Now, Wanderer’s time inGenshin Impact’s spotlight is apparently not over yet.
Few details have been leaked about the story ofGenshin Impact’s upcoming region of Fontaine, aside from brief in-game lore and teaser trailers. Fontaine is known to be one of Teyvat’s most technologically advanced regions and bears a heavy theming around “justice,” first introduced in the game’s “Travail” trailer released shortly following its launch. The region is also rumored to feature sweeping rivers and large bodies of water, owing to its position as the home of the Hydro Archon. Now, new leaks have suggested Wanderer will make his way to the aquatic region.

A post shared by prominentGenshin Impactleaker Vississ via fellow leaker HutaoLover77 has revealed Wanderer’s involvement in the game’s upcoming story. The leak would confirm Wanderer will not be involved with the story of Version 3.8, quelling rumors that placed him appearing during the update. However, Wanderer is reportedly set to play a role within the story of the Fontaine region, likely traveling there from Sumeru. Wanderer’s appearance in Fontaine would be the third major regionthe character formerly known as Scaramouchehas visited throughout the story.
Wanderer’s role in Fontaine’s story will reportedly not come as the only Fatui set to appear in the Hydro region with multiple others rumored to play major parts. Previous leaks have suggestedGenshin Impactwill welcome its third playable Fatui memberin Fontaine, heavily suggested to be one of the female members like Sandrone or Arlecchino. Other Fatui like Dottore, who served as Sumeru’s Fatui antagonist, are also rumored to appear during the story of Fontaine. Fontaine is expected to be coming toGenshin Impactwith Version 4.0, believed to be arriving in August.
The Fatui’s Eleven Harbingers have so far played a major antagonistic role in each ofGenshin Impact’s regions so far. Three different members of the Fatui have already been featured as weekly bosses with players able to challenge Tartaglia, Signora, and Scaramouche. HoYoverse has also teased other Fatui characters who have yet to appear inGenshin Impactthroughtrailers like “A Winter Night’s Lazzo"and in-game dialogue. With a new region coming toGenshin Impactsoon, the Fatui will surely find themselves involved in the RPG’s story once again.
