Fontaine (Chinese: 枫丹; pinyin: Fēngdān) is a fictional nation in the video game Genshin Impact, developed by miHoYo. The region became officially available to players on August 16, 2023, with the release of version 4.0. Fontaine is the fifth of seven nations in the game to be released. It is located north of the deserts of Sumeru and west of Mondstadt. Fontaine serves as the primary setting for Chapter 4 of the game's main storyline.
Fontaine is based on Western European countries during the Industrial Revolution era, particularly France and the United Kingdom. Its design incorporates artistic styles such as baroque and art deco, and its soundtrack features performances using classical European instruments. The underwater environments and gameplay mechanics, which differ from those on land, have received positive reviews from critics, though some character outfits originating from Fontaine have sparked controversy.
