Genshin Impact 5.5 Adds New Volcanic Region

• Genshin Impact's upcoming 5.5 update, Day of the Flame's Return, is set to bring the heat on March 26th.
• Explore a massive new volcano area in Natlan, home to the hidden Sacred City of Tollan and other discoveries.
• The final tribe, the Tribe of Plenty, arrives alongside a new Saurian creature, the mighty Tatankasaurus.

Just as a brief warm spell gives way to near-freezing temperatures here in the UK, it seems spring is struggling to arrive in many places. If you're looking for a way to warm up, Genshin Impact's version 5.5 update, launching on March 26th, might provide the fiery escape you need.

Titled "Day of the Flame's Return," the update's headline feature is the colossal Great Volcano of Tollan. With the long-hidden Sacred City of Tollan finally accessible, this ancient structure, built by the Dragonborn, will reveal its secrets. Players will delve deep into its core to uncover the mystery behind the Flamelord's Blessing.

This update brings more than just lava and magma. Natlan's final tribe, the Tribe of Plenty, makes its debut alongside a brand-new Saurian companion, the Tatankasaurus. This powerful creature possesses the sheer strength to pulverize massive boulders with its immense bulk.

While the volcano presents significant dangers for any traveler, you won't have to face them alone. The 5.5 update introduces two new characters to aid your journey. Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, unleashes devastating Electro damage. Iansan, one of Natlan's six heroes, is a four-star Electro Polearm wielder who can boost party attack and provide healing support.

All this new content, plus a seasonal event (Tournament of Glory in Bloom), new Event Wishes, and more, arrives on March 26th. Stay tuned and prepare to dive back into the world of Natlan with Genshin Impact's Version 5.5: Day of the Flame's Return.
