Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Great Volcano of Tollan Map for Version 5.5

A recent Genshin Impact leak has given players an exciting sneak peek at the Great Volcano of Tollan, a new area set to debut in Version 5.5. While the Archon Quest in Natlan wrapped up in Version 5.3, the Traveler’s journey through the Pyro Nation is far from over. After a brief detour to Inazuma in Version 5.4, players will return to Natlan to continue the World Quest series, delving deeper into the mysteries of the Great Volcano of Tollan.

What to Expect from the Great Volcano of Tollan

The upcoming expansion marks the third Natlan map update and promises to be packed with content. The Great Volcano of Tollan will feature both aerial and subterranean layers, offering diverse exploration opportunities. According to leaks, the Collective of Plenty, a faction based on the volcano’s northern slopes, will play a significant role in Version 5.5. Players can build their reputation with the Electro Tribe of Natlan by completing tasks for the Collective, and finishing their Tribal Chronicle will unlock Varesa’s personal story.

A Massive New Zone Comparable to The Chasm

Shared by Ukrisreng and explained in detail by Uncle Teyvat, the leak reveals that the Great Volcano of Tollan will be a vast zone located in southwestern Natlan. The leaked map showcases only the overworld area, but players will also be able to explore a subterranean map of equal or even larger size. This dual-layered design draws comparisons to The Chasm, one of Genshin Impact’s most beloved areas. While it remains to be seen if the Great Volcano of Tollan will match The Chasm’s acclaim, players can expect a substantial adventure in Version 5.5.

The Collective of Plenty and the Tatankasaurs

Interestingly, the leaked map suggests that the Collective of Plenty has built their settlement into the mountain itself. Given that the Great Volcano of Tollan is still active, players are already questioning the wisdom of living so close to potential danger. However, the Tatankasaurs, companions to the Collective, might offer a clue. Based on what’s known about Varesa’s abilities in Genshin Impact, these creatures are believed to have resistance to Liquid Phlogiston (lava), which could explain how the tribe thrives in such a hazardous environment.

New Gameplay Features in Version 5.5

From a gameplay perspective, the Great Volcano of Tollan will introduce several new features to Genshin Impact:

• A new Artifact Domain for players to farm powerful gear.
• A new World Boss, adding fresh challenges and rewards.
• Multiple entry points, including a new path from the Stadium of the Sacred Flame and an option to swim across from the People of the Springs.

When Will Version 5.5 Launch?

Genshin ImpactVersion 5.5 is expected to launch on March 26, 2025. As excitement builds around the Great Volcano of Tollan, players can look forward to an expansive new chapter filled with challenging enemies, intriguing lore, and rich rewards. Whether or not this volcanic region will live up to the legacy of The Chasm, it’s clear that Natlan still has many surprises in store.
