Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Version 4.6 Map Expansion

According to rumors, Genshin Impact will be making the map of Teyvat whole again with Version 4.6, as it will feature the island town of Petrichor, Bayda Harbor, and the underwater ruins of Remuria. Though previous leaks have pointed towards Bayda Harbor and Petrichor as almost separate map expansions, it would appear that both claims may end up being correct. Genshin Impact has long teased this particular corner of Teyvat, and closing off the Fontaine update cycle with a zone featuring the ruins of a dead civilization is aptly fitting.

Whereas Chenyu Vale in Version 4.4 finally connected Liyue to Fontaine, Version 4.6 will add the finishing touches to Sumeru's northern coastline. The island where Petrichor is situated appears to be small, and Bayda Harbor is bound to disappoint players who expected another Port Ormos.

The leaked map was posted via Team Mew on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit, confirming Uncle Teyvat's earlier descriptions of the new zone. It's important to note that the current leak only shows the overworld component of Petrichor, as it's quite likely that Remuria will be in a separate instance similar to Enkanomiya and the Chasm. It remains to be seen if this will be the final Fontaine map expansion in Genshin Impact, as many players speculate that Mont Esus will either be its own separate zone or lead towards Natlan's northern borders.

Given that northern Sumeru is presumed to be close to the doors of Khaenri'ah, as revealed in the Girdle of the Sands region, it should also be a fascinating area for Genshin Impact players to explore. Arlecchino in Genshin Impact is expected to be the star of Version 4.6, though it remains to
