Genshin Impact Update 5.5: New Volcano Area Added

As the UK experiences a chill reminiscent of winter and spring struggles to make its presence felt elsewhere, Genshin Impact's upcoming 5.5 update promises to bring the heat you need. Scheduled for release on March 26th, the update titled "Day of the Flame's Return" introduces an exciting new volcano area to the Natlan region, featuring the majestic Great Volcano of Tollan and the hidden Sacred City of Tollan. Delve into this ancient Dragonborn-built structure to unravel the mystery of the Flamelord's Blessing.

But the heat isn't just from the lava and magma; the update also introduces the final tribe of Natlan, the Tribe of Plenty, and a formidable new Saurian, Tatankasaurus. Known for its ability to shatter massive rocks with its sheer power and size, this creature adds an exciting dynamic to the region.

Heating up - While navigating the treacherous volcano, you won't have to brave it alone. Two new characters will join your journey in the 5.5 update. Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, unleashes devastating Electro damage, and Iansan, a four-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, enhances attack damage while providing healing support to her allies.

Alongside these fiery additions, the update brings a new seasonal event, "Tournament of Glory in Bloom," along with Event Wishes and more, all set to debut on March 26th. Prepare to explore Natlan anew with Genshin Impact's version 5.5, "Day of the Flame's Return."
