A new leak from Genshin Impact is hinting at a future map expansion coming for the Natlan region, potentially teasing a long-rumored area within Teyvat. The HoYoverse RPG’s newest region has already brought with it a variety of different landscapes for players to explore, from its rushing rivers and winding valleys to magma-filled volcanic locales. Natlan’s debut also brought with it multiple new ways to traverse the world, both featuring the special movement mechanics associated with Nightsoul Blessing and Natlan’s Saurian mounts. Now, another new location in Natlan is potentially being teased.

Throughout Genshin Impact‘s four-year-long history, the game has seen a plethora of locations outside the playable area teased within Teyvat. Dornman Port has long been one of the most-rumored areas in Genshin Impact, with the port town in Mondstadt said to be north of the city and near the border with Snezhnaya. Chenyu Vale was the subject of several rumors about its addition to Genshin Impact before the Liyue sub-area was finally introduced during the Version 4.4 update. A new leak from Genshin Impact may now be teasing an area hinted at since the game’s early days.

Genshin Impact Leak Teases Potential New Natlan Area

A new update shared by Genshin Impact leaker UTeyvat is hinting at a new area coming to the northwest of Natlan’s mainland. The leak shows a zoomed out overhead map of Natlan’s playable landscape, with an area circled in a body of water to the northwest said to be home to a new Natlan expansion. While UTeyvat did not specify what would be coming within the area, fans have heavily speculated that the location may be home to the long-rumored Mare Jivari. The leak did not give a release window for when the new area would be added to Genshin Impact‘s playable boundaries.

The potential addition of the Mare Jivari to Genshin Impact‘s playable map comes as the mysterious location has already been referenced multiple times in-game. Some of the earliest references to the Mare Jivari come alongside Anemo Archon Venti’s Story Quest, with famous Mondstadt adventurer Stanley said to have perished there. The locale is also mentioned in the lore for several of Genshin Impact‘s Artifacts, with both the Wanderer’s Troupe and Lavawalker sets hailing from the mysterious region.

Leaks about the Mare Jivari come as Genshin Impact‘s newest region has already seen multiple teasers about its future expansions. HoYoverse has confirmed that Version 5.1 will introduce more of Natlan’s tribes to the game, with fans expected to be introduced to the Pyro Flower-Feather Clan and the Anemo Masters of the Night-Wind. Leaks have also hinted at the introduction of the Electro-themed Collective of Plenty during the following Version 5.2 update. Fans of Genshin Impact should have plenty more to do in Natlan throughout the game’s next updates.
