"Genshin Impact Update 5.5 Adds Exciting Volcano Area"

by Benjamin Mar 25,2025

As the chill of early spring lingers in many parts of the world, including the UK, Genshin Impact is set to warm things up with its eagerly anticipated 5.5 update, arriving on March 26th. Dubbed "Day of the Flame's Return," this update promises to bring the heat with the introduction of a brand new volcano area in Natlan.

The centerpiece of this update is the Great Volcano of Tollan, which not only adds a thrilling new landscape but also unveils the hidden Sacred City of Tollan. This ancient Dragonborn-built structure holds the secret of the Flamelord's Blessing, waiting for adventurers brave enough to explore its depths.

But it's not just about the fiery landscapes; the update also introduces the final tribe of Natlan, the Tribe of Plenty, alongside a formidable new Saurian, the Tatankasaurus. Known for its power to shatter enormous rocks, this creature adds an exciting element to the region.

Genshin Impact 5.5 Update - Day of the Flame's ReturnTo navigate the dangers of the volcano, players will have the assistance of two new characters. Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, brings massive Electro damage to the fray, while Iansan, a four-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, enhances attack damage and provides healing to her allies.

Alongside these additions, the 5.5 update includes a new seasonal event, the Tournament of Glory in Bloom, as well as new Event Wishes. All of these features are set to launch on March 26th, inviting players to dive back into the vibrant world of Natlan.
