Even though the recently released nations are stacked with high-quality content, Mondstadt remains the favorite location for many Genshin Impact players since it’s the place that introduced them to the world of Teyvat. At the start of each playthrough, players are spawned at the northern part of the region, and they have to find their way to the region’s main city, also known as the City of Freedom.

Recent Genshin Impact leaks have revealed 10 upcoming playable characters that will apparently be tied to the Fontaine region. However, a credible leaker named merlin_impact has pointed out that some of these characters are actually from the Anemo region and players can expect a Mondstadt expansion in the foreseeable future. Previous rumors have been hinting that the current version of Mondstadt represents only 60-70% of the whole region which is expected to expand to the north. Some fans have noticed that the fifth character from the left could be tied with Mondstadt since her outfit fits the Anemo theme.
Players hope that the new part of Mondstadt will finally introduce one of the most anticipated Genshin Impact characters named Varka, who is known as the current Grand Master of the Knights of Favonious. According to the official storyline, Varka is currently on an expedition with the majority of the Knights of Favonious, and he left Jean to fill the role of the Acting Grand Master. Various NPCs have revealed that Varka is one of the strongest characters in Mondstadt and the Fatui Harbinger Childe calls him the “titan of the Knights of Favonious”.
While there is no official information about the upcoming map expansions, players hope that HoYoverse could rework the whole Mondstadt region as its current design does not represent its symbolic element very well, at least compared to the recently released Sumeru region. Fans hope to see more wind currents that will allow them to constantly fly through the air.
There is a chance that the new part of Mondstadt arrives before the next major update which will introduce another Genshin Impact nation named Fontaine. This region is expected to be located west of Liyue, and it will be the home of the Hydro Archon, Focalors.
Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
