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. These robotic adversaries, while elegant in their movements, pose a significant threat. Their dance-like combat style is mesmerizing but deadly. Additionally, the update introduces oceanic adversaries, including the Emperor of Fire and Iron boss. This menacing giant crab, with a volcano on its back, promises to test players' combat skills to the limit.

For those who prefer a more peaceful approach, the update also brings a host of adorable creatures to befriend, such as otters and birds, which players can invite to their teapots.

While specific details about the events in the 4.0 update remain under wraps, players can expect a series of engaging activities to partake in. Additionally, a new feature named "Genius Invokation TCG" is on the horizon, hinting at further gameplay enhancements.
