Genshin Impact Update 5.5: New Volcano Area Added

As the UK experiences a brief respite from the cold only to dip back into near-freezing temperatures, and with spring struggling to make its presence felt in many regions, Genshin Impact's upcoming 5.5 update, "Day of the Flame's Return," promises to bring the heat you're craving. Set to launch on March 26th, this update introduces an exciting new volcano area in Natlan, complete with a hidden city and much more.

The highlight of the update is the Great Volcano of Tollan, where players can explore the newly accessible Sacred City of Tollan. This ancient Dragonborn-built structure holds the secrets of the Flamelord's Blessing, waiting to be uncovered by adventurers brave enough to delve into its depths.

But the update isn't just about fiery landscapes. The final tribe of Natlan, the Tribe of Plenty, makes its debut, alongside a formidable new Saurian, the Tatankasaurus. This beast boasts the power and size to shatter massive rocks, adding a thrilling new element to the game.

Navigating the dangers of the volcano won't be a solitary endeavor. The 5.5 update introduces two new characters to aid your journey. Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, unleashes devastating Electro damage, while Iansan, a four-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, enhances attack damage and heals her allies, making her a valuable addition to any team.

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