After much anticipation and leaks, Hoyoverse finally announced the long-awaited Genshin Impact 4.0 update, which brings with it a new region called Fontaine. The update also brings some notable changes and improvements to the menus and character animations and simply improves the overall playability of the game. We get three new characters in Lyney, Lynette and Freminet with the 4.0 update. That said, with the update right around the corner, you'll need to look for the exact release details for the latest Genshin Impact 4.0 Fontaine update. We're here to help with all the details and a countdown timer for Fontaine.

The Genshin Impact 4.0 update will be released on August 15, 2023 in the US and on August 16 at 11:00 UTC+8 (China time). Additionally, those playing the game on the European server will receive the update on August 16, 2023 due to the difference in time zones. That's why we've added a countdown to the Genshin Impact Fontaine update with country-specific release dates and times.

Unlike daily server resets, version releases follow a universal time, and all you need to do to include the release time for your country is to convert 11:00 AM UTC+8 to your region's time. You don't need to bother with that though, as we've done the conversions for you. Check out when Genshin Impact's Fontaine update will be available in your region: Region Release Date Expected Release TimeWest Coast USA August 15, 20238:00 PM PSTCentral USA August 15, 202310:00 PM CSTEast Coast USA August 15, 202031116, 202311 202311:02:00 AM BSTEurope 16 Aug 20235:00 CESTJapan 16 Aug 202312:00 PM JSTIndia 16 Aug 20238:30 ISTChina 16 Aug 202311:00 CSTAustralia 02:00 Aug 14:00, 14:00

Note: You should be aware that server maintenance will begin five hours before the specified update time, as confirmed by HoYoverse in an official post. This means the game will become unplayable at 6:00 UTC+8 for all regions.
