In response to player demands, Genshin Impact's developer, HoYoverse, has officially confirmed that the artifact inventory will be expanded in the upcoming version 4.0 update. Currently limited to 1,500, the storage space for artifacts has been a point of contention among players who find it relatively small. Fortunately, the game's Fontaine update is set to address this issue.

Artifacts in Genshin Impact play a crucial role in enhancing characters' combat effectiveness by providing various buffs, such as critical rate, energy recharge, and attack speed. They are categorized based on rarity, with five-star artifacts offering more sub-stats. Players can upgrade these magical items to gain random stats, aiding them in gaining the upper hand in battles.

With version 4.0, the artifact inventory capacity will be increased to 1,800 from the previous limit of 1,500. Furthermore, players will have the convenience of destroying all four-star artifacts simultaneously to create more space in their inventory. In response to managing the cost of these items, the developers have revealed that the locking function will be optimized in the future, easing players' concerns about inventory space. Many players on the game's Reddit page have lauded HoYoverse for addressing this issue and expressed interest in having the option to mark artifacts as disposable, making storage management even more straightforward, especially for those with higher Adventure Rank.

Each element in Genshin Impact corresponds to different artifacts that players can utilize to strengthen their builds. An exciting leak suggests that the version 4.0 update will introduce two new artifact sets: Golden Troup, which offers an additional damage bonus on elemental skills. However, players are advised to await official confirmation before considering this as definitive information.

Alongside the artifact storage expansion, version 4.0 will introduce eight new strongboxes, including Pale Flame, Emblem of the Severed Fate, and Vermillion Hereafter, which players can craft. The Fontaine update will also unveil a new region filled with quests, NPCs, and formidable enemies, providing players with even more engaging content. Further details about quality-of-life improvements and the multi-layered map will be disclosed during a special program on August 4. Genshin Impact enthusiasts can look forward to an enhanced gaming experience with these exciting changes on the horizon.
