One of the best regions in may become even bigger according to some new Version 4.4 leaks. It is common for the world of Teyvat to expand every so often and it seems like a pre-existing region will be getting new extensions in the upcoming patch. Of course, this is only possible with pre-existing areas, as the new nation is still a ways off. The release of Natlan in is expected for some point in Summer 2024, so the discussed new areas expand nations that have already been explored. Fontaine is in the spotlight, considering it debuted this year and introduced new gameplay mechanics.
However, it may be another region that will expand. This is somewhat unlike the regular behavior for the game. During the previous year in the game, most of the map extensions were all related to Sumeru, the nation that was released in 2022. This time around, Fontaine may not be getting as much attention as its predecessor. Nevertheless, this does not mean it is completely out of the loop. There have been many discussed details about the upcoming patch, such as the mention of new skins in 4.4 leaks, so a few new map areas do not seem like a long shot.

Essentially, this means that there may be two new discoverable areas in the game with the upcoming patch.

The circles that highlight the alleged location of the Statues of the Seven are located to the northwest of Bishui Plain. The post is tagged as “” so it should be taken with a grain of salt.
To be more specific, one of the Statues of the Seven seems to be directly west of Mount Aocang, while the other is slightly northwest of Qingce Village.
While unconfirmed and leaning heavily into speculation, these two new areas in Liyue that are bound to arrive with Version 4.4 may be related to 2024’s version of the annual Lantern Rite Festival event. There have already been leaks regarding the upcoming patch, such as Cloud Retainer’s release date in , and this may be enough evidence to back up the map leaks. The Liyue adepti’s release seems to be on par with the arrival of the patch and the Lantern Rite itself, and seeing that this is a Liyue-exclusive event, the map extensions may be a way of allowing Lantern Rite to be played in a different manner.
Even with a large map extension, namely the Chasm, most of Liyue has already been explored. Aside from new stories that can be included, there are no new places these stories can be told, so the Version 4.4 leaks sound promising. Instead of repeating the process of taking players to Cloud
