Exciting news for Genshin Impact players! Leaked in-game footage showcases a stunning new volcano area set to arrive in the upcoming Version 5.5 update.  After a brief hiatus from the Natlan storyline, players will return to this fiery region, exploring the long-awaited Great Volcano of Tollan.

This update is also bringing two new playable characters: the five-star Electro user, Varesa, and the four-star unit, Iansan.  The recent beta phase, which typically previews upcoming content, has provided glimpses of these characters, the new region, and more.

Leaked information highlights an intriguing detail about Varesa's gameplay, revealing a unique movement ability tied to her Elemental Skill. This adds another layer of excitement surrounding the new character and her potential impact on team compositions and combat strategies.

The leaked footage depicts the impressive visual effects of the volcano, showcasing active eruptions and falling lava fragments.  Located southwest of Natlan, in an area known as the Sacred Mountain, the volcano's imposing presence promises a dramatic and engaging exploration experience.

Lore enthusiasts will appreciate the volcano's connection to ancient dragons, whose palace is said to reside beneath the magma. This adds a layer of historical depth to the region and raises questions about potential storylines and world quests tied to these mythical creatures.

However, some players have expressed concerns about the volcano potentially becoming dormant after the associated questline is completed, citing previous instances where HoYoverse has removed similar environmental effects, such as the Tsurumi Island mist and Sumeru's pyramid effect.
