Genshin Impact is gearing up for one of its most explosive updates yet with version 5.5, titled Day of the Flame's Return, launching March 26th. As Spring plays hard to get across many regions, this fiery new chapter promises to bring the heat—literally and figuratively. Set in the vibrant, fire-fueled nation of Natlan, the update introduces the colossal Great Volcano of Tollan, a long-rumored landmark now fully accessible to players.
Deep within the smoldering peaks lies the Sacred City of Tollan, an ancient metropolis built by the Dragonborn. For the first time, adventurers can explore its hidden chambers and unravel the mysteries behind the Flamelord's Blessing—a powerful force tied to Natlan’s very foundation. The new volcano zone isn’t just about lava flows and treacherous climbs; it’s packed with puzzles, secrets, and challenges that reward exploration at every turn.
Alongside the new area, the final indigenous tribe of Natlan—the Tribe of Plenty—makes its long-awaited debut. Known for their deep connection to nature and abundance, this tribe adds rich cultural depth to the region’s evolving narrative. And for fans of the game’s creature roster, a powerful new Saurian joins the fray: the Tatankasaurus. This hulking beast boasts immense strength, capable of crushing boulders with sheer force, and is sure to play a role in both combat encounters and environmental storytelling.
Venturing into the volcano won’t be a solo mission. Genshin Impact 5.5 introduces two powerful new allies. Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, delivers devastating Electro damage and is expected to be a top-tier addition for reaction-based teams. Then there’s Iansan, one of Natlan’s legendary Six Heroes and a four-star Electro Polearm wielder. She brings both offensive utility and support, capable of amplifying team damage while providing valuable healing—making her a versatile pick for any roster.
The update also kicks off the Tournament of Glory in Bloom, a new seasonal event filled with challenges, rewards, and dynamic gameplay. Alongside it, fresh Event Wishes will give players the chance to strengthen their teams with character and weapon banners tailored to the new content. With new quests, achievements, and exploration incentives, there’s no shortage of things to do once the update drops.
