Though Dainsleif's story continues in Version 4.7, Genshin Impact has also given players their first glimpse of Natlan during the latest livestream.

An informative series of graphics shared by Twitter user SiriusPotato showcases several of the inspirations for Natlan's world design. The post details the close similarity between the "cracked lowlands" of the region with the natural phenomena of "horsts" and "grabens," formations created by the shifting of the earth. Many of Natlan's high peaks were compared to mesas and buttes while their cliffsides were likened to "painted walls," suggested in-game to be the result of graffiti by the people of Natlan. Fans also previously discovered that Natlan's design will draw inspiration from "pre-colonial Latin America."

The deep dive into Natlan's geography is the most recent example of plenty of fan speculation following the debut of the region's teaser. Many Genshin Impact fans have already begun to pinpoint Natlan's location within Genshin Impact's in-game map, using in-game views from Sumeru to place Natlan southwest of the Dendro region.

Alongside the launch of Natlan in Version 5.0, Genshin Impact is expected to introduce several major quality-of-life changes to the game in the near future. HoYoverse confirmed that Genshin Impact's performance requirements will be raised with the launch of Version 5.0, to account for enhancements in the new region. Version 4.7 will also increase Genshin Impact's Resin cap for the first time since Version 1.1, raising the limit to 200. Genshin Impact fans look to have plenty of positive changes coming as the debut of the game's next region approaches.
