Natlan is going to be a bio-diverse area, so far showcasing volcanos, cliffs, rivers, grasslands, and forests in both the teasers.A recent leakreveals that thetribes of Natlan are not distributed horizontally, but vertically.
From everything we have seen so far in the teasers, the leak appears to be true with most of the land shown in a broken state with variable verticality. Also, theNatlan map in 5.0isexpected to be as big as the Sumeru map in version 3.1.
The leak also mentionsVolcanic Steam cannons, which will be used to travel long-distance. Other than that, we also saw multiple showcases of characters traversing Natlan on Sauriansor mounts. Now, whether the game will add actualmountsfor all characters, or it would simply be Natlan character-specific abilities is yet to be revealed.
The characters are the core part of Genshin Impact,and all gacha games,so Genshin players are highly anticipating the upcoming Natlan characters. From the recent teaser, we have officially learnednew Natlan characters, and three of them are confirmed to feature in the Genshin 5.0 banner — Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani.
Mualani is a 5-star hydro catalyst user, Kinich is a Dendro Claymore user and Kachina is a Geo Polearm user.

From the leaks, we also get a sneak peek at what to expect in the upcoming storyline from the Genshin Impact 5.0 version. However,these are spoilersso read them at your own peril.
According to Seele leaks, this is how the story progression is going to be from Natlan:
This basically means that Natlan’s chapters will set the Genshin Impact storyline into the endgame. Still, you can expect a couple of years at least for the game to complete the story.
Genshin Impact teasers have so farrevealed 7 new Saurians, which are the new monsters in Natlan, and three new humanoid enemy types. Natlan introduces a new feature calledSaurian Indwelling, which allows players to transform into different Saurians to traverse the land of Natlan.
