Recent beta leaks indicate that new locations will be added in Natlan, which are expected to comprise:

Mt. Mirrorwall
Ochkanatlan
Jutperch Cliff

These new areas are thought to be situated on the northwest side of current Natlan and are likely to introduce two new tribes: the Master of the Night Wind and the Flower-Feather Clan, with the former being linked to Citlali and the latter to Chasca.

This expansion should also increase the level cap for Natlan’s offering system, Tona’s Flame, providing players with the opportunity to earn more rewards.

New Saurians

Leaked information suggests that Genshin Impact 5.2 will also introduce two new types of Saurians. One, named Qucusaurus, may be familiar to players due to its connection with the Goldflame Qucusaur Tyrant boss in Huitzli Hill. The other, dubbed Iktomisaurus, is of particular interest as both creatures can fly, enhancing the exploration experience for Travelers.

Expect a gameplay reveal of these new Saurians during the Genshin Impact 5.2 livestream.

A new Act in the Natlan Archon Quest
