Genshin Impact 4.6 Leaks: New Weekly Boss Should Break A Long Tradition

New leaks about 4.6 have arisen, hinting at what may be a new weekly boss that will shatter a long tradition. The action RPG is currently in the second portion of Version 4.4, after introducing the region of Chenyu Vale and Xianyun as the playable human form of Cloud Retainer. The update also celebrated the annual Lantern Rite Festival with a limited-time questline and several prizes to claim for free. Now, the game marches toward Version 4.5, which has had much of its content leaked. Chiori’s gameplay kit in, for instance, leaked shortly after her announcement.

This article contains major spoilers for the story quests related to Fontaine.

Even though all eyes are on the impending arrival of Version 4.5, there have allegedly been new Version 4.6 leaks, revealing promising information and the end of an old tradition. According to information obtained by the leaker known as Uncle K, shared by a user on Reddit, Version 4.6 will add a new weekly boss, which should be related to a new area between Liyue, Sumeru, and Fontaine. The arrival of this rumored weekly boss, however, should be the first of its kind, as it is very different from all other weekly bosses in so far.

All the second weekly bosses introduced to the region being explored that year have been connected to the area’s Archon rather than part of the main story quests, with the exception being Stormterror Dvalin – though Mondstadt can be considered a tutorial zone. Azdaha’s encounter and domain are unlocked after completing the second part of Zhongli’s Story Quest. The same can be said about Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto in Inazuma, following the completion of Raiden Shogun’s Story Quest. Lastly, Guardian of Apep’s Oasis in is unlocked through Nahida’s Story Quest. Fontaine’s second weekly boss should change that.

The leaks mention that the second weekly boss in Fontaine’s year of content will arrive in Version 4.6, which should be in line with most of the follow-up content released in previous years.
