Genshin Impact leaks: Mare Jivari expansion in Natlan region

A recent Genshin Impact leak has revealed that the highly anticipated Version 5.2 update will introduce exciting new areas in Natlan, along with fresh characters. Among the most intriguing discoveries is Mare Jivari, the “sea of ashes,” which has been part of Genshin Impact lore since its initial release in 2020. This long-awaited expansion promises to enrich the open world of Teyvat, allowing players to dive deeper into Natlan’s mysteries and history.

Natlan has been gradually introduced, with the first playable zone being released in Version 5.0. The upcoming Version 5.2 will significantly expand the region. Firstly, this expansion will bring new areas like the ruins of the Eternal Empire, Ochkanatlan, and settlements like the Flower-Feather Clan. The expansion will also see the addition of Chasca, a new character who will offer unique exploration opportunities.

Mare Jivari and Natlan expansion in version 5.2

One of the most notable additions in this update leak is the Mare Jivari. Described as a desolate, ash-filled sea where no winds blow, this region is located far to the west of Teyvat. Lastly, leaked topographic maps suggest that players may need to use the Waverider to reach Mare Jivari. This makes it a challenging yet rewarding area to explore.

Several notable elements are expected or leaked to be in the version 5.2 update are as follows:

• Mare Jivari introduction
  • Long teased, this mysterious ash-filled sea could be part of the Natlan map expansion, offering new environments to explore.
• New playable characters
  • Chasca will join the roster, enhancing the experience in Natlan’s new zones.
• Topographic changes
  • The updated map hints at an island between Tollan and Ochkanatlan, possibly home to the Collective of Plenty.
• Potential Waverider travel
  • Players might need to use the Waverider to reach Mare Jivari, adding a fresh dynamic to exploration.

Speculation on future updates

Although leaks should be taken with caution, the expansion of Natlan appears to follow the pattern set by previous regions like Fontaine. Mare Jivari is expected to be the final zone introduced before the region transitions to Snezhnaya. Additionally, if rumors of additional expansions to Mondstadt are true, Genshin Impact’s open world could see significant growth in the coming updates. Moreover, further details are expected to emerge as the release of Version 5.2 draws closer.

In summary, Genshin Impact’s upcoming updates will offer new challenges and lore. Particularly with the addition of Mare Jivari is making it an exciting time for players to explore Natlan further.
