Genshin Impact Natlan Release Date Predictions : The exact date for the release of Natlan in Genshin Impact is currently unclear; however, a timeframe for its addition to the game can be speculated. As the sixth nation of Teyvat, Natlan is governed by the Pyro element. It has been referenced several times and is expected to be introduced in 2024, as previously stated by HoYoverse in their post-release timeline. Nevertheless, a specific release date has not yet been set. For the time being, attention is directed towards the content that will be added after the launch of Fontaine.
In 2023, HoYoverse expanded Genshin Impact by adding Fontaine, which considerably increased the map’s size. This enhancement permitted players to attune the Traveler to Hydro, interact with a full cast of new characters, and explore a regional storyline through Archon Quests that connect to the larger narrative. While prior knowledge of Natlan existed, the developments in Version 4.2 provided further revelations about the Nation of Pyro, as the Traveler gears up to advance on their journey to locate their lost sibling, a task that may still require a significant duration.

When Natlan Is Being Added To Genshin Impact (Pyro Region’s Release Date Predictions)
At present, Natlan does not have a specific release date, as the content is presumably still undergoing development. Nevertheless, it is feasible to anticipate HoYoverse’s plans regarding its release. The launch of Natlan is expected to be associated with Genshin Impact 5.0, although this does not guarantee that the game will complete all aspects of Version 4.9 before transitioning to the major annual update. It is worth noting that leading up to the release of Fontaine in Version 4.0, the game effectively omitted Version 3.9, indicating that a similar occurrence may take place this year.
The six-week update schedule of Genshin Impact allows for the anticipation that Natlan will be released in Version 5.0 on August 28, 2024. This estimation is valid only if Version 4.9 is omitted from the update rotation, as there have been no recent x.9 patches. Additionally, this timeline assumes that the game’s updates will remain on schedule; since Version 2.7, there have been no delays, and the game has reliably received new content every six weeks.
The list provided below details the release dates of each Nation of Teyvat released until now, allowing for a comparison with the anticipated release of Natlan and contributing to a clearer understanding of HoYoverse’s timeline to date.
- Mondstadt and Liyue: September 28, 2020 (Version 1.0)
- Inazuma: July 21, 2021 (Version 2.0)
- Sumeru: August 24, 2022 (Version 3.0)
- Fontaine: August 16, 2023 (Version 4.0)
The expectation that Natlan will officially launch on August 28, 2024, is supported by a recent announcement from the developer. An official message on the Genshin Impact profile on X (formerly Twitter) states that the Version 5.0 livestream is scheduled for August 16, occurring two weeks prior to the release. While livestreams typically take place on Fridays, this upcoming event may highlight the importance of Version 5.0 in relation to other routine updates. Additionally, August 28 marks the end of the six-week timeframe for Version 4.8.
Story Details About Natlan In Genshin Impact
In the world of Teyvat, Natlan is governed by the Pyro element in Genshin Impact. This was established and further emphasized through Neuvillette’s dialogue at the conclusion of the Archon Quests in Version 4.2. Natlan is characterized as a nation of warfare, consistently affected by ongoing conflicts. Neuvillette’s intelligence indicates that the Fatui Harbinger referred to as The Captain is actively involved in the strife within Natlan, having “thrown his hat into the nation’s endless ring of war.” The specifics of his involvement remain unclear.
In light of the Snezhnayan group’s established methods and their persistent attempts to penetrate various nations, one can make some informed speculations regarding their activities. It appears probable that the Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact will once again provoke internal strife, thereby enhancing the faction’s imperialistic ambitions towards foreign territories. This may also serve as a strategy to obtain the Gnosis from the Pyro Archon, as requested by the Tsaritsa.
Beyond the involvement of the Fatui and their potential backing of a proxy war, additional information about Natlan emerged during the dialogue with Neuvillette at the end of Version 4.2’s main Archon Quests, known as the “Finale” mission in Chapter IV: Act 5. Neuvillette revealed that Natlan is a territory associated with dragons.
However, these dragons are not the elemental types, such as Neuvillette or Apep from Genshin Impact, but rather a lesser species. HoYoverse has confirmed these beings, referred to as Saurians. Although these Saurians seem to possess elemental affinities, the degree of this trait is still unknown.
It is anticipated that the dragons in Natlan will resemble the vishaps found in Liyue. These dragons have adapted and developed a symbiotic relationship with humans, potentially incorporating elements from the various tribes that form the region’s social fabric. Natlan is described as being situated to the west of Sumeru, past the Great Red Sand. Additionally, the game notes that Natlan is home to numerous hot springs, a result of the intense volcanic activity in the area.
The brief teaser trailer introducing these new characters suggests that a significant tournament will occur in Natlan, potentially influencing the future of the entire Nation. This event is anticipated to align with the arrival of the Traveler.
Information leaks imply that there exists a hidden aspect within Natlan’s central volcano, which may correspond to the figure Mavuika is seen conversing with in a darkened chamber.
Natlan Characters In Genshin Impact
It is understood that Natlan has been home to at least two Pyro Archons, including one named Murata, who is known as the Lady of Fire. Her status, however, remains a mystery, as it has been over 1,000 years since the particulars of Murata’s status were kept under wraps. Recent leaks concerning the Pyro Archon in Genshin Impact shed light on the character’s alleged design, with speculation suggesting that her outfit may be influenced by the colorful attire of Brazilian Carnival dancers
This character is described as having pale skin, gradient-orange hair, and red eyes, complemented by a Carnival-style mask and a red suit adorned with a bowtie. Currently, it remains unclear whether this leaked character design pertains to Murata or another unidentified Pyro entity briefly referenced in the lore. It is highly probable that this design represents the reigning ruler of the Pyro Archon’s throne, and based on the descriptions provided, it is conceivable that the Traveler and Paimon will encounter this character in the narrative.
This leaked design seems to correspond, at least partially, with the design presented during the official introduction of Mavuika, a confirmed character from Natlan in Genshin Impact. She is illustrated as a possible leader of the Pyro Nation, though there is ongoing debate about whether she is indeed the Pyro Archon. In addition to Mavuika, HoYoverse has unveiled a considerable number of upcoming playable characters, which will be released starting with Version 5.0 and extending into the next year of the game.
The first three characters to be officially unveiled are Kinich, Mualani, and Kachina. Kinich and Mualani are believed to be 5-star Dendro and Hydro units, respectively, while Kachina is rumored to be a 4-star Geo character based on leaks.
These characters are the inaugural representatives from Natlan introduced in Version 5.0, as demonstrated in the official livestream announcement and a series of teasers released on the official account on X. The livestream is anticipated to provide confirmation of their abilities and additional gameplay information regarding Natlan, with leaks indicating the potential introduction of new Night Spirit mechanics.
In addition to the three previously mentioned characters, HoYoverse has announced the introduction of Citlali, Xilonen, Iansan, Chasca, Mavuika, Capitano, and Ororon. If all seven characters are made playable, they are anticipated to be included in updates following Version 5.0. However, there is a possibility that Capitano may not be playable due to his status as an antagonist. Historically, HoYoverse has only featured anti-heroes in Genshin Impact, such as Childe, Wanderer, and Arlecchino, who have connections to villainy but are not inherently evil.
Apart from the smaller pieces of trivia that are scattered throughout Teyvat and the recent insights shared by Neuvillette, there is little information currently available about Natlan.
Historical patterns indicate that leaks regarding this new region are likely to increase in the next few months as HoYoverse prepares for the launch of Natlan. Furthermore, as the game progresses and moves closer to Genshin Impact 5.0, it is anticipated that more official details about the land of Pyro will be revealed.
