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

As the chilly grip of early spring lingers in the UK and many other regions, Genshin Impact's upcoming 5.5 update promises to ignite your gaming experience. Set to launch on March 26th, the "Day of the Flame's Return" update is poised to bring a fiery twist to the game with its new content.

The highlight of this update is the introduction of the Great Volcano of Tollan in Natlan. This new area isn't just a visual spectacle; it's home to the long-hidden Sacred City of Tollan, a marvel built by the Dragonborn. Players will have the chance to explore this ancient city and unravel the mystery behind the Flamelord's Blessing, adding depth and intrigue to your journey.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. The update also introduces the final tribe of Natlan, known as the Tribe of Plenty, along with a formidable new Saurian species, the Tatankasaurus. This giant creature has the strength to shatter massive rocks, promising thrilling encounters and new challenges within the game.

Heating up - Navigating the volcanic terrain of Tollan might seem daunting, but you won't have to face it alone. The update introduces two new characters to assist you: Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user capable of dealing significant Electro damage, and Iansan, a four-star Electro Polearm wielder from the six heroes of Natlan. Iansan not only boosts attack damage but also heals her allies, making her a versatile addition to your team.

Alongside these exciting additions, the "Day of the Flame's Return" update brings a new seasonal event, the Tournament of Glory in Bloom, as well as Event Wishes, ensuring there's plenty to explore and enjoy starting March 26th.
