As the UK's brief warmth fades back into near-freezing temperatures, and spring seems reluctant to arrive in many places, Genshin Impact's upcoming 5.5 update, "Day of the Flame's Return," promises to bring the heat you need. Set to launch on March 26th, this update introduces an exciting new volcanic region in Natlan, complete with a hidden city and much more to explore.
The highlight of the update is the Great Volcano of Tollan, where players can finally access the Sacred City of Tollan. This ancient Dragonborn-built structure beckons adventurers to delve into its depths and uncover the secrets of the Flamelord's Blessing. But it's not just about the fiery landscape; the update also introduces the final tribe of Natlan, the Tribe of Plenty, and a new Saurian species, the Tatankasaurus, capable of shattering massive rocks with its sheer power.
While the volcano area offers thrilling challenges, you won't have to brave it alone. Two new characters join the fray in the 5.5 update: Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user who unleashes devastating Electro damage, and Iansan, a four-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, who can enhance attack damage while healing her allies.
Alongside these 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. So, gear up and get ready to explore Natlan once again with Genshin Impact's version 5.5, Day of the Flame's Return.
