A new leak regarding Version 4.8 has been shared, hinting at another limited-time map, though this one is set to be in the region of Fontaine.

Version 4.8 is, most likely, the last update this year before the arrival of Version 5.0 and the introduction of the nation of Natlan. For reference, Versions 2.9 and 3.9 do not exist, and the jump from 4.8 to 5.0 is expected to occur once again. In every patch ahead of the release of a new Nation, has seen limited-time maps come and go. The first of them was the Golden Apple Archipelago.
This limited map was first introduced in Version 1.6, before the arrival of Inazuma. In Version 2.8, players returned to the Golden Apple Archipelago for a new adventure before the release of Sumeru. Most recently, in Version 3.8, players were taken to the Veluriyam Mirage, also known as Bottleland, a Sumeru-theme map. This occurred in the update before the release of Fontaine. Based on previous years, the mention of a limited Fontaine-themed map in 4.8 leaks does not sound outrageous – in
