Genshin Impact Leak: First Look at Natlan's Mare Jivari Region

When Genshin Impact first came out in 2020, players could only explore Mondstadt and Liyue. Since then, new areas like Inazuma, Fontaine, Sumeru, and Natlan have been added to the game, expanding the world of Teyvat. In version 5.0, the first part of Natlan was introduced, letting players discover the lands of the Children of Echoes, Scions of the Canopy, and People of the Springs.

The next map update for Natlan in Genshin Impact is planned for Version 5.2. This update will include the ruins of the Eternal Empire, called Ochkanatlan, and the Flower-Feather Clan settlement. Chasca will join the playable characters in this version, giving players another way to explore the new area without using the Saurian form. While it's not confirmed yet, there’s a good chance that Version 5.2 will also include the land of the Masters of the Night-Wind, as Ororon will also appear in this patch.

While Uncle Teyvat hinted at the new Natlan areas with an earlier leak, a new map from Jelena gives a clearer view of what Genshin Impact players can expect in upcoming updates. It seems likely that the Collective of Plenty will be included when the map expands towards the Great Volcano of Tollan, although we can't pinpoint their exact location yet. Interestingly, there will also be an island between Tollan and Ochkanatlan that could be a potential spot for the Collective of Plenty. The most exciting find from Jelena is a lone island to the far west, which is likely the Mare Jivari.

Genshin Impact Mare Jivari

Since Version 1.0, the Mare Jivari has been part of Genshin Impact's story and players have been curious about it for years. It's described as a sea of ashes where the wind doesn't blow, and it's the westernmost point of Teyvat, said to hold a sea of fire. The map from Jelena shows the Mare Jivari quite far from Ochkanatlan, suggesting players will need to use the Waverider to get there. If Natlan follows a pattern like Fontaine, Mare Jivari is expected to be the last area added to the region before Snezhnaya.

While leaks should be viewed with caution, it seems that Natlan will be about the same size as Fontaine rather than Sumeru. If the rumors about a Mondstadt map expansion are accurate, the open world in Genshin Impact will expand significantly during the Natlan era. Version 5.2 is set to launch on November 20, 2024, and players can look forward to more details about the new Natlan areas after October 9, 2024.
