The latest topographical data on Genshin Impact Not only does it reveal the area of Natlan to come, but it also indicates the area considered to be the Mare Jivari. When Genshin Impact first launched on September 28, 2020, the player only received Mondstadt and Liyue. During its history, it helped Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, and Natlan, as Teyvat's borders expanded in all directions. Version 5.0 introduced the first Natlan area, allowing players to explore the lands of the Sons of Me, Scions of the Canopy, and People of the Springs.
The next map expansion for Natlan in Genshin Impact is scheduled for Version 5.2, which includes the remnants of the Eternal Kingdom, Ochkanatlan, as well as the installation of the Flower-Feather Clan. Instead, Chasca will join players in the game in Version 5.2, giving players another way to explore the new area without having to use the Saurian form. Although not yet confirmed, it is likely that Version 5.2 will include the Masters of the Night-Wind region, as Ororon will also make his debut in that patch.
While Uncle Teyvat teased the future Natlan area in the previous outing, the new topographical map provided by Jelena paints a more detailed picture of that. Genshin Impact players can expect from future updates. The Collective of Plenty will certainly get their share when the map expands to Tollan's Great Volcano, although the exact location of the clan remains unclear. Of course, Natlan in Genshin Impact includes an island nestling between Tollan and Ochkanatlan – a convenient location for the Collective of Plenty. However, perhaps Jelena's most interesting discovery is a single island at the far west end that could only be Mare Jivari.
Genshin Impact Leak Teases Mare Jivari For The Upcoming Natlan Update
Mare Jivari is one of the Genshin ImpactThe lore since Version 1.0, and players have been wondering about it for years. Said to be a windless sea of ash, Mare Jivari is the westernmost point of Teyvat, and is said to contain a sea of fire. The map shared by Jelena places Mare Jivari far away from Ochkanatlan, which means players may need to use the Waverider to get there. If Natlan follows the same pattern as Fontaine, players can expect Mare Jivari to be the last zone added to the zone before Snezhnaya.
Although leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, it looks like Natlan's size will be closer to Fontaine than Sumeru. That being said, if the rumors about the Mondstadt map expansion are true, the open world Genshin Impact will increase significantly during the Natlan period. While Version 5.2 will only launch on November 20, 2024, players should expect more information about the upcoming Natlan region after October 9, 2024.
