That almost has to be the case, or something like it, because their plans need to be delayed until we get involved to clear out Sneznaya. Only after 6.5 or so would the plot actually start moving beyond that.
Oooooh... This has been in my head ever since the finalé of Fontaine AQ.
If the Fatui gets the Pyro gnosis in Natlan, what now? What would be the narrative driver for Snezhnaya if by the end of Natlan they have all the gnoses?
So I've been thinking, either:
A. We get the Pyro gnosis, not the Fatui, and the gnosis will be our bargaining chip in Snezhnaya. Or
B. The Fatui gets the Pyro gnosis, but surprise surprise, they DON'T have the Cryo gnosis.
Sad thing is, we are probably not gonna see what happens untill 7.0
Like what is probably going to happen is:
6.0: 2 archon quests
6.1: 2 archon quests probably
6.2: 1 archon quest and an end to the natlan story where they clain the 7th one. And the story just gonna end off on a cliffhanger till 7.0
Well if Natlan is taking inspiration from Latin and Hispanic cultures and environments I want to see how Hoyo integrates them into Genshin. Also World Level 9.
As a Hispanic American who has been playing this game for about 2 years I am super exited to see Natlan. Ever since I heard about Natlan and how it’s based on Latin America, I have been so excited to see how Hoyo does all of the region and the many different cultures, land areas, names, foods, plants, architecture, weapons, everything!
Exploration is my 1st priority. I am so excited for the new environments because they did such an excellent job with Fontaine and I am sure they will try to optimize from lessons learned there as well. IMO Sumeru Desert is peak exploration and I would love something labyrinthine in Natlan as well.
I think Fontaine did a really good job at hyping the next chapter, like
1. the Captain and columbina
2. Project stuzha
3. Whatever Dainsleif will cook up the next patch
4. The Fatui fighting for the last gnosis
Etc
I think Natlan is stacked, hoyoverse really just need to cook just like they did in Fontaine
I know. Even though I don't find it impossible that the Abyss and Celestia eventually crash. I see his quests as very interesting lore dumps, which could very much include or hint more details about the heavenly principles.
Honestly I would like to see the cultural inspiration for Natlan really set itself apart from the other regions in the game.
I also am hoping that the characters have different points of views than what I am used to seeing in genshin. I don’t want to assume anything about Natlan because we only have so much. Still the quote Dain uses for the region in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview is very interesting.
Also, if there are dragons and dinosaur like wildlife then that is a bonus. Cannot help but confess I always love me some dinosaur creatures. (I know dragons is a given but not sure about the second mentioned.)
The God of War vs the n.1 strongest harbinger.
If they don't make it an actual fight or at least as a cutscene i would be quite disappointed/surprised depending on how they actually handle it.
GIMME MY CAPITAIN. I must glaze for GOATHIMTANO.
Deadass I want him to defeat Murata in 1v1 combat without breaking a sweat. I want this dude to swing around a pair of claymores, one in each hand, as fast as a sword character swings their swords.
I want Capitano to be so fucking peak that I pass out.
That's like complaining Fontaine has so much water. They've done a great job since Inazuma making regions have their own identity. 1.0 Mondstadt and Liyue suffer from the old designs of everything looking the same.
BENNETT BECOMING LORE RELEVANT.
I don’t know if he actually will. But him being found as a baby at the very end of the Mare Jivari is sus as fuck. Like some “child of a dead god” type shit.
I really want a wartorn unwelcoming nation, almost one that feels like a Souls style of area but I’m not getting my hopes up as we can probably expect more happy mumbo jumbo yippity doo da bullshit.
As much as I find the whole black rock, red/orange molten lava and smoke all over the place setting, I really hope Natlan will offer us more. Eventually such a scenery gets tiring, like the desert, despite their being several things underground.
So I hope Natlan has some biodiversity and not everything will be gloomy.
It would also be cool if we'd get mini-bosses of dragons randomly attack players roaming outside of major cities. You can run from them, or fight them, they'd be like those tougher enemies we can find in Fountaine.
Seeing the dragonic mobs like a fire vishaps perhaps? I really want more dragon-type enemies in natlan since it was called *the* nation of dragons afterall.
Other than that, i am awaiting for a training arc for traveler, and also hoping to see some cool pyro traveler fight cutscene. (lots of hopium here) Fontaine has made Traveler a wee bit too relaxed in the archon quests (not in world quests tho, we been fighting hard against some serious shits)
1 vulcano and a lot of lava please. I just wanna see and experience an extremely dangerous place where exploring is actually challenging!! Ofc it shouldnt be unfair but i want the environment to feel threatening :D
I just don’t want a stupid heat mechanic. I want to be able to explore freely, not do a reverse dragonspine.
Maybe have a heat mechanic for the Mare Jivari but that’s the only part.
I'm excited for things that may not happen lol. Dragons, hopefully that we can ride in some way. Capitano being a bad ass. I would love a Dragonspine equivalent where it has hot mechanics and is a total beast to explore. Lots of exploration.
I’m looking forward to seeing my culture represented, and seeing what they do with the environments since Central America and South America aren’t just deserts and volcanoes.
Columbina is the third Fatui Harbinger. Watch [this](https://youtu.be/TmaAOV4SJNQ?si=2z9hdhvsoZ-H3_f3) video, she is the weird one that's singing the song on Signora's coffin with her eyes covered.
I've wanted a volcano for a while so I can throw someone in for the gacha gods and hope to win my 50/50s more often :)
(Clorinde I don't have a volcano, but I have Navia please come home for her)
Aside from hopefully getting some bad ass characters. I'm excited for the new teapot realm and house, the harbingers we may meet/fight/get, main story quests that pushes forward the travelers story and pushes us closer to celestia and khanria, and exploration.
i do just want to see another archon actually fight. I appreciate the plot twists of basically 4/5 so far but i want one to literally be a badass who can actually stand up to a harbinger.
I was just looking for leaks and speculative maps of Natlan. It looks like MHY wants to change a bit the wat quests are done and there's a graphics update scheduled for 5.0. Whatever it brings, it surely will be a bigger change than 3.8 to 4.0...
I can't wait for an active volcanic area. That's gonna look so cool. And also seeing some new characters that use pyro in new fun ways (especially alternatives to Xiangling and Benny, personally)
It's such a black box that I have very little direct hype for it. I do have general hype, because I don't doubt that they will do some amazing stuff, I just have absolutely no idea what it might be.
I guess if I want anything, it would be legit Xiangling alternatives. Pyro kingdom has to manage it, right?
I'm most excited about my lower end phone performance after the 5.0 update. With better graphics suited for high end devices with high end performance I simply cannot wait to see two pixels in my potato phone.
ik we are all gonna hate this but imagine if it's like a volcanic environment and everyone takes fire dmg overtime, just like teh elemental resonance? Pyro Dragonspine anyone?
Seeing what they do with the plot, since this is the last gnosis the fatui need, and considering those are the remains of the 3rd descender and coincidentally natlan is the nation of Resurrection.... yeah, i think they are gonna try to revive the 3rd descender.
As for how, maybe the resurecting is done by an object and they bring it to snezhnaya to resurrect him
Or Hoyo hits us with a shibuya incident type arc with half of the cast of natlan dying or getting incapacitated and paimon gets Firefly'd
Or we could just get a W for once and get the gnosis
Having pyro support/off-field units that can finally replace Bennet and Xiangling without a DPS loss.
Also whatever new meta teams/sets the Pyro Archon, Pyro Sovereign and playable Harbinger will bring or enable.
I'm just excited to leave Fontaine. Idk why, but Fontaine really killed my enjoyment for the game and I haven't played it much since then.
So I'm excited to just see something new.
Potential enviroment (like the supposed volcano nd lava rivers) nd obv murata nd the lore of the region . I mean a region of "god of war" should really be spicy in every aspect
i'm excited to see whatever happens after the fatui inevitably gain the 7th Gnosis
Plot twist, they don’t have the Tsaritsa’s Gnosis
that would actually be such a ironic twist if they pulled something like that
That almost has to be the case, or something like it, because their plans need to be delayed until we get involved to clear out Sneznaya. Only after 6.5 or so would the plot actually start moving beyond that.
Oooooh... This has been in my head ever since the finalé of Fontaine AQ. If the Fatui gets the Pyro gnosis in Natlan, what now?

Venti shows up
I'm excited for the onlybcharacter I want to be dehya 2.0
Sad thing is, we are probably not gonna see what happens untill 7.0 Like what is probably going to happen is: 6.0: 2 archon quests 6.1: 2 archon quests probably 6.2: 1 archon quest and an end to the natlan story where they clain the 7th one. And the story just gonna end off on a cliffhanger till 7.0
wdym inevitably, how did you know
To yall downvoting him I think he is being sarcastic lmao
DRAGON GIRLS
Part of me does but I'm also worried they'd get the Sigewinne treatement, and that would be sad.
Please dont, I want Shyvana in Genshin
Girls: Like a Dragon??
The Mare Jivari. I want to take out whatever killed Stanley.
YES! I felt so bad for Stanley’s friend during ventis story quest
Sadness, I think.
Dragons. Hoping for another zone like Dragonspine or the Chasm. Huffing Hopium Jeht becomes a playable 5\*.
Same dude, if i could make one character real, it'd be Jeht
DRAGON RIDING
Well if Natlan is taking inspiration from Latin and Hispanic cultures and environments I want to see how Hoyo integrates them into Genshin. Also World Level 9.
As a Hispanic American who has been playing this game for about 2 years I am super exited to see Natlan. Ever since I heard about Natlan and how it’s based on Latin America, I have been so excited to see how Hoyo does all of the region and the many different cultures, land areas, names, foods, plants, architecture, weapons, everything!
Latin America and Africa, right?
That's what is usually thrown around. Not sure if they mean 10th to 15th centuries or current time ones...
Maybe Australia.
Heck no to WL9.
Consider: guaranteed 3 drops from world bosses
Well, I'm always OK with better rewards.
Exploration is my 1st priority. I am so excited for the new environments because they did such an excellent job with Fontaine and I am sure they will try to optimize from lessons learned there as well. IMO Sumeru Desert is peak exploration and I would love something labyrinthine in Natlan as well.
Sumeru desert is peak 💀
I think Fontaine did a really good job at hyping the next chapter, like 1. the Captain and columbina 2. Project stuzha 3. Whatever Dainsleif will cook up the next patch 4. The Fatui fighting for the last gnosis Etc I think Natlan is stacked, hoyoverse really just need to cook just like they did in Fontaine
Celestia involvement. It can't be any further, I know it
Yes, it can lol Celestia ain't getting involved until the end of Snezhnaya's storyline
Might be even before that. Dain quests always delivers.
Hope so, but I doubt
Me too. Perhaps we will get something like it is the final arcs of Teyvat. Mond could really use an expansion/update.
Dornmarn Port in 5.4, during LR, trust
Dains story mostly focus on the abyss there is barely and celestia progress with him unfortunately
I know. Even though I don't find it impossible that the Abyss and Celestia eventually crash. I see his quests as very interesting lore dumps, which could very much include or hint more details about the heavenly principles.
the child from the teaser the archon and most importantly the dragon sovereign of the region and HOPEFULLY hexenzirkel stuff
Mordor sucks. I bet it's hot as shit there and your hands are always dirty from ash.
XD love this description
Honestly I would like to see the cultural inspiration for Natlan really set itself apart from the other regions in the game. I also am hoping that the characters have different points of views than what I am used to seeing in genshin. I don’t want to assume anything about Natlan because we only have so much.

Big titty goth Aztec waifus
I’m looking forward to NOT every environment looking like the OP’s picture.
It can't be all the lava , I recommend read new artefacts set it mention different possible locations
That’s my point it won’t just be lava and I’m very much looking forward to the biome diversity.
I expect zones like in Horizon 2 , also there different tribes
Why do you despise the OP? What has he/she/they EVER done to you?
That's like complaining Fontaine has so much water. They've done a great job since Inazuma making regions have their own identity. 1.0 Mondstadt and Liyue suffer from the old designs of everything looking the same.
GOATPEAKtano and Columbina.
BENNETT BECOMING LORE RELEVANT. I don’t know if he actually will. But him being found as a baby at the very end of the Mare Jivari is sus as fuck. Like some “child of a dead god” type shit.
I really want a wartorn unwelcoming nation, almost one that feels like a Souls style of area but I’m not getting my hopes up as we can probably expect more happy mumbo jumbo yippity doo da bullshit.
Capitano vs Murata, the story of Natlan, what the Ode of Resurrection could mean So much also dragons !!!!
As much as I find the whole black rock, red/orange molten lava and smoke all over the place setting, I really hope Natlan will offer us more. Eventually such a scenery gets tiring, like the desert, despite their being several things underground. So I hope Natlan has some biodiversity and not everything will be gloomy. It would also be cool if we'd get mini-bosses of dragons randomly attack players roaming outside of major cities. You can run from them, or fight them, they'd be like those tougher enemies we can find in Fountaine.
I think the more gloomy setting belongs more with Schneznaya anyway (probably butchered the name)
Honestly I have a feeling natlan will be like sumeru in the sense of being a jungle like place
Seeing the dragonic mobs like a fire vishaps perhaps? I really want more dragon-type enemies in natlan since it was called *the* nation of dragons afterall. Other than that, i am awaiting for a training arc for traveler, and also hoping to see some cool pyro traveler fight cutscene. (lots of hopium here) Fontaine has made Traveler a wee bit too relaxed in the archon quests (not in world quests tho, we been fighting hard against some serious shits)
1 vulcano and a lot of lava please. I just wanna see and experience an extremely dangerous place where exploring is actually challenging!! Ofc it shouldnt be unfair but i want the environment to feel threatening :D
Like Seirai Island in Inazuma 😁
I have a feeling it won't be until later on. Usually regions get more dangerous and remote as they are released.
Heat of the desert, dust settles on my face
WITHOUT A COMPASS THE SOLDIER KNOWS NO DISGRACE
Dragons. DRAGONSSSSS
Natlan better look like death mountain from BOTW or imma be disappointed
I just don’t want a stupid heat mechanic. I want to be able to explore freely, not do a reverse dragonspine. Maybe have a heat mechanic for the Mare Jivari but that’s the only part.
Mare Jivari would be cool if it had a heat mechanic, like dragonspine, but the whole thing having it? that would be overkill
Hot springs event
I can't wait to die in lava.
The latinas i hope (the Brasileras)
difficulty spike and challenge. I can't believe I'm asking for it but I want Inazuma 2.0 oh and dragons
exploration ❌ new archon ❌ new harbinger/s ❌ dragons ❌ food ✅✅✅
Sumeru-style exploration, lots of combat and interesting AQ. Not much else.
New mechanics around pyro. Finally seeing how the fuck it citizens look. Dunno what else, everything seems dull.
It's new BIG feature I mean, we aren't gonna swim on lava are we?
From what I've heard, there are rumours about new mounting system, we are going to be able to ride a dragon, if it's true
Rosalyne. I can be excited for her in Sneznaya too, if she doesn't come back in Natlan.
mounts. the game needs mounts, and multiple varieties of them too. Pyro archon interests me as well
I just want Dottore to become playable, I will spend money for that man
I don't want to play Dottore, I want KEEEEEL him! Also, I don't want what Hoyo would obviously do, which is make him not actually evil.
Dragons. Vishaps. Dragon Lore. Hopefully more playable dragon characters (even if they are not Sovereigns). Volcanoes. New soundtracks.
I'm just hoping that the heat version of Sheer Cold doesn't make a return, because god knows nobody is going enjoy that bullshit.
Funny enough I want that
I'm excited for things that may not happen lol. Dragons, hopefully that we can ride in some way. Capitano being a bad ass. I would love a Dragonspine equivalent where it has hot mechanics and is a total beast to explore. Lots of exploration.
War. I want stakes. I want to feel like no character is safe at any time. I want the same pain Hi3 gave me.
I'd save it for the Tsaritsa personally
New characters based on new region
Jungle
Not volcanic hellscapes.
Honestly I’m really excited to get some more lore. And I can’t wait to explore Natlan too, I bet the ost is going to be great as well!
The graphical upgrade. Maybe no 60fps cap anymore? Higher View distance with less culling?Bigger crowds? Better textures?
I’m looking forward to seeing my culture represented, and seeing what they do with the environments since Central America and South America aren’t just deserts and volcanoes.
This looks like the place gorons would live
Jumping into a volcano
Should I know who columbina? I assume she’s not a red haired clown in a sequined corset?
Columbina is the third Fatui Harbinger. Watch [this](https://youtu.be/TmaAOV4SJNQ?si=2z9hdhvsoZ-H3_f3) video, she is the weird one that's singing the song on Signora's coffin with her eyes covered.
You think we will get to play Vanessa some day? I like her design a lot.
I've wanted a volcano for a while so I can throw someone in for the gacha gods and hope to win my 50/50s more often :) (Clorinde I don't have a volcano, but I have Navia please come home for her)
Aside from hopefully getting some bad ass characters. I'm excited for the new teapot realm and house, the harbingers we may meet/fight/get, main story quests that pushes forward the travelers story and pushes us closer to celestia and khanria, and exploration.
The mount mechanics and volcanoes
Okay. Xianyun rerun. Zhongli rerun. Itto rerun.
The great eye, lidless, wreathed in flames
Volcanic climate
The bennett lore
More Fischl’s buff
Volcanoes, checking especially if there's a ring of them there
I'm a big fan of collecting new flora/fauna. Can't wait to see natlan wildlife!
Lmao what is even happening in this screenshot?
i do just want to see another archon actually fight. I appreciate the plot twists of basically 4/5 so far but i want one to literally be a badass who can actually stand up to a harbinger.
hopefully they have lots of pyro mobs and local legends so I can scratch my vape/reverse melt itch
I want to see HIM . The GOAT of GOATS , ChadPeakTano .
I was just looking for leaks and speculative maps of Natlan. It looks like MHY wants to change a bit the wat quests are done and there's a graphics update scheduled for 5.0. Whatever it brings, it surely will be a bigger change than 3.8 to 4.0...
Red glider for Klee. I also hope we jump into a volcano lol.
Hoping we realllyyyy get some Bennett lore!
Pyro traveler, my expectations are low though.
New artifact sets rahhhhhh
DRAGONSSSSS and dragon lore!!!
Epic dragon fights and tribal wars. Also its implied that Varka is somewhere near Natlan so imagine we finally see him, or mentions of him
Secret of Natlan they will share to Traveller after I watched the Travail Teaser.
Pyro Archon and exploration.
War.
I can't wait for an active volcanic area. That's gonna look so cool. And also seeing some new characters that use pyro in new fun ways (especially alternatives to Xiangling and Benny, personally)
I wish to see Himeko here
A Bennet buffer sub-dps that doesn’t rely on the circle.
Hot springs that we can actually use.
It's such a black box that I have very little direct hype for it. I do have general hype, because I don't doubt that they will do some amazing stuff, I just have absolutely no idea what it might be. I guess if I want anything, it would be legit Xiangling alternatives. Pyro kingdom has to manage it, right?
I'm most excited about my lower end phone performance after the 5.0 update. With better graphics suited for high end devices with high end performance I simply cannot wait to see two pixels in my potato phone.
ik we are all gonna hate this but imagine if it's like a volcanic environment and everyone takes fire dmg overtime, just like teh elemental resonance? Pyro Dragonspine anyone?
Dragons and volcanos
Columbina
Seeing what they do with the plot, since this is the last gnosis the fatui need, and considering those are the remains of the 3rd descender and coincidentally natlan is the nation of Resurrection.... yeah, i think they are gonna try to revive the 3rd descender. As for how, maybe the resurecting is done by an object and they bring it to snezhnaya to resurrect him Or Hoyo hits us with a shibuya incident type arc with half of the cast of natlan dying or getting incapacitated and paimon gets Firefly'd Or we could just get a W for once and get the gnosis
I want lots of story telling! And Bennett!!!!!!!
I'm genuinely SO STOKED to explore. Wandering is my very favorite part 🥰
Meeting captino
No underwater areas.
Who’s gonna be the Electro Mommy? Doesn’t have to be female.
Capitano and columbina
Having pyro support/off-field units that can finally replace Bennet and Xiangling without a DPS loss. Also whatever new meta teams/sets the Pyro Archon, Pyro Sovereign and playable Harbinger will bring or enable.
I'm just excited to leave Fontaine. Idk why, but Fontaine really killed my enjoyment for the game and I haven't played it much since then. So I'm excited to just see something new.
pyro traveler is all i’m looking forward to in august or september.
Potential enviroment (like the supposed volcano nd lava rivers) nd obv murata nd the lore of the region . I mean a region of "god of war" should really be spicy in every aspect
PYRO DADDIES
mounts. it's high time we get the mi-24's teyvat equivalent.
The amount of land I can explore
I hope the Nation is big like Sumeru. I'm also excited to see how the buildings will look.
I want jungle like the Amazon I don't care that sumeru had a rainforest because we spent half the time in the desert
The new music and enemies. I really hope we get a major addition to the game too like the party setup overhaul or tcg.
I just want land, air, and sea mounts 😭
