The drip marketing for Genshin Impact’s new Natlan region is well underway, but nothing is going to quench the thirst created by this new crop of characters. Our first taste of the storyline from this fresh open world area appears to be teasing some kind of Goblet of Fire, Hunger Games-esque tournament. Also, apparently everyone is hot as hell – and not just because this is the realm of the Pyro Archon.

There are dozens of new characters introduced here, including the flame-haired Mavuika, the scarf-wearing Chasca, and the blonde beauty Xiolen. You can expect all of these heroines to appear on future banners, with their own unique set of skills and gameplay attributes. Looking at social media, it looks like all of the aforementioned have resonated with fans.

Genshin Impact’s summer update is due next week, where it’ll bring with it a new time-limited region filled with minigames and activities to help you beat the heat. Then, sometime in August, the anticipated Natlan region will release. It’s going to be interesting to see what new gameplay and exploration possibilities the region offers.
