A new post on theGenshin ImpactLeaks subreddit has revealed the updated appearance of a new character who goes by the name Captain R in the community. The design of this character was also hinted at a couple of weeks ago when a huge leakrevealed 10 newGenshin Impactcharactersthat will appear in Fontaine. According to the new post, Captain R has gone through some design changes and many fans claim that this could be the final version that will arrive to the game. Many comments have stated that Captain R’s new look indicates that she will probably be an Electro character as her design is very similar to other playable units that use the same element.
When it comes to the character’s exact release date, there are still no reliable leaks, but players can expect her to join the roster oncethe new Fontaine region arrives. Previous rumors have been hinting that Fontaine will be very different from any other region in the game. Its main city will apparently be attached to a vertical platform, and it will be surrounded by several waterfalls.
Fontaine is rumored to be located west of the current Liyue regionand north of the recently released Sumeru deserts. A credibleGenshin Impactleaker named merlin_impact claims that some of the game’s existing regions like Mondstadt will probably receive a significant expansion before Fontaine arrives.
One of the recently released artifact pieces named Symbol of Felicitation hints that the Geo region has another port besides Liyue Harbor which led many players to believe that it willappear in the next Liyue expansion. The new Yilong Port is expected to be placed on the western part of Liyue, and it could be connecting this region with the Fontaine nation.
