As the UK experiences a brief respite from the cold only to dip back into near-freezing temperatures, and with Spring seemingly 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're craving. Set to launch on March 26th, this update introduces an exciting new volcano area in Natlan, complete with a hidden city and much more.

The highlight of the update is the Great Volcano of Tollan, where players can finally explore the Sacred City of Tollan. This ancient Dragonborn-built structure holds the secrets of the Flamelord's Blessing, waiting to be uncovered as you delve into its depths.

But it's not just about the fiery landscapes; the update also introduces the final tribe of Natlan, the Tribe of Plenty, and a new Saurian, the Tatankasaurus. This powerful creature has the strength and size to shatter enormous rocks, adding a thrilling new element to your adventures.
