As the UK and many other places struggle with the lingering chill of winter, Genshin Impact's upcoming 5.5 update, set to launch on March 26th, promises to bring the heat with its "Day of the Flame's Return" theme. This update introduces an exciting new volcano area in Natlan, featuring the Great Volcano of Tollan and the long-hidden Sacred City of Tollan. Players will have the chance to explore this ancient Dragonborn-built city and uncover the secrets of the Flamelord's Blessing deep within its depths.
But the update isn't just about fiery landscapes. The final tribe of Natlan, the Tribe of Plenty, makes its debut, accompanied by a new Saurian creature, the Tatankasaurus. This powerful beast is capable of shattering enormous rocks with its sheer bulk, adding a thrilling new element to the game's ecosystem.
Navigating the dangers of the volcano won't be a solo endeavor. The 5.5 update introduces two new characters to aid players on their 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, boosts 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, as well as Event Wishes and more, all set to launch on March 26th.
