Summary
A recentGenshin Impactleak has revealed that Version 5.5 will take players to the Great Volcano of Tollan, the next map expansion for Natlan that features the Collective of Plenty. Compared to its predecessors, the region of Natlan inGenshin Impacthas had a rather unorthodox release schedule. By Version 5.4, the Natlan era will only have one Artifact Domain and two zones. By Version 4.4, the Fontaine era had two Artifact Domains and four zones – double the amount of content by comparison.
While this does not mean that Natlan will be a smaller region compared to previous patch cycles, it does imply that it will be back-loaded in a way thatGenshin Impactplayers have yet to experience. Version 5.2 introduced the Flower-Feather Clan and the Masters of the Night-Wind, but one more tribe still remains unexplored: the Collective of Plenty, located in Southwestern Natlan, whose champions includeGenshin Impactcharacterslike Varesa and Iansan.
According toUncle Teyvat, not only will Version 5.5 feature the Great Volcano of Tollan, but it will be a multi-layered zone – with an aerial and a subterranean map on top of the base layer. The Collective of Plenty will have its main settlement on the northern slopes of Tollan, and players will be able to traverse the area with the help of the Tatankasaurs. It should be noted that Uncle Teyvat is certain thatMare Jivari is coming toGenshin Impact, and is intended to be the next zone after Tollan – either in Version 5.6 or Version 5.7.
Genshin Impact Leak Teases the Great Volcano of Tollan for Version 5.5
The Great Volcano of Tollan, on top of being an important location in Natlan lore, is intended to be the next step in the Traveler’s journey with their Saurian companion. Bringing both Golden Entreaties to the volcano will likely play a major role in the next World Quest series, and according to Uncle Teyvat, this piece of the zone will have a separate map (like Remuria or Enkanomiya). While not yet confirmed, it’s highly likely that thenext Artifact Domain inGenshin Impactwill feature in the upcoming zone as well.
Version 5.5 is overall shaping up to be a large content update. Given that neither Version 5.3 nor Version 5.4 have featured a map expansion, it may be just whatGenshin Impactneeds to shake itself out of a lull. In addition to the new zone, Version 5.5 will also see the debut ofIansan and Varesa toGenshin Impact, and it is expected to launch on Jul 04, 2025.
