A recent leak from Genshin Impact is hinting at the lineup of events set to be featured during the Version 4.8 cycle, including several past events returning. The final update of the HoYoverse RPG's Fontaine cycle has already begun to see some early information surface about its contents.

The event's story has also been hinted at through early information, expected to center around the Hexenzirkel organization and potentially featuring the first in-game appearance of Alice.
