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

As the UK grapples with near-freezing temperatures and Spring seems hesitant to arrive in many regions, Genshin Impact's upcoming 5.5 update, "Day of the Flame's Return," promises to bring the heat starting March 26th. This eagerly anticipated update introduces a new volcanic region to the Natlan map, featuring the majestic Great Volcano of Tollan and the long-hidden Sacred City of Tollan. Players can delve into this Dragonborn-built marvel to unravel the mystery of the Flamelord's Blessing, adding a thrilling layer of adventure to the game.

But the update isn't just about exploring fiery landscapes. It also marks the debut of Natlan's final tribe, the Tribe of Plenty, alongside the introduction of a formidable new Saurian, Tatankasaurus. This massive creature is capable of shattering enormous rocks, promising exciting encounters for players.

To navigate the dangers of the new volcano area, players will have the assistance of two new characters. Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, delivers devastating Electro damage, while Iansan, a four-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, not only boosts attack damage but also heals her allies, making her a valuable addition to any team.

Alongside these exciting additions, the 5.5 update will feature a new seasonal event, "Tournament of Glory in Bloom," alongside Events Wishes and more, all set to launch on March 26th.
