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

by Layla Mar 21,2025

Genshin Impact is igniting the excitement with its upcoming 5.5 update, "Day of the Flame's Return," arriving March 26th. This update introduces a fiery new location: the colossal Great Volcano of Tollan and its hidden, ancient city, the Sacred City of Tollan. Explore this Dragonborn-built structure and uncover the secrets of the Flamelord's Blessing.

But the heat doesn't stop at lava! The final Natlan tribe, the Tribe of Plenty, makes its debut, alongside a powerful new Saurian companion, Tatankasaurus, capable of shattering massive rocks.

Navigating the volcano's perilous landscape will be easier with the addition of two new characters. 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 allies.

Beyond the volcano, version 5.5 also includes a new seasonal event, "Tournament of Glory in Bloom," along with Event Wishes and more.

Get ready to return to Natlan on March 26th! Before you dive in, be sure to check out our list of Genshin Impact codes for an in-game boost and our Genshin character tier list for strategic planning.
