While the update teases new story quests centered around the character Lyney, it also hints at the introduction of a new region named Fontaine. This region will likely offer players new landscapes to explore, challenges to conquer, and mysteries to unravel.

The 4.0 update isn't just about exploration and character introductions; it's also about challenges. Players can brace themselves for intense battles against a formidable meka duo.
