Genshin Impact heats up with new volcano area added in update 5.5

As the chill of early spring lingers in the UK and beyond, Genshin Impact is ready to turn up the heat with its much-anticipated 5.5 update, set to launch on March 26th. Titled "Day of the Flame's Return," this update promises to bring warmth and excitement to players worldwide.

The centerpiece of this fiery update is the Great Volcano of Tollan, a new expansive area in Natlan. Players will have the opportunity to explore the hidden Sacred City of Tollan, a Dragonborn-built marvel, and delve into its depths to unravel the mystery of the Flamelord's Blessing. The update isn't just about exploring new terrains; it introduces the final tribe of Natlan, the Tribe of Plenty, and a formidable new Saurian, the Tatankasaurus, capable of shattering massive rocks with its sheer power.

The adventure heats up even further with the introduction of two new characters to aid in navigating the treacherous volcano. Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, brings immense Electro damage to the fray, while Iansan, a four-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of the six heroes of Natlan, enhances attack damage and provides healing to her allies.

Alongside these exciting additions, the 5.5 update will feature a new seasonal event, the Tournament of Glory in Bloom, along with Event Wishes and more, ensuring there's plenty to keep players engaged. Mark your calendars for March 26th and prepare to dive back into the world of Natlan with Genshin Impact's "Day of the Flame's Return."
