Furthermore, players must be excited to know that this area also possibly consists of a roller coaster. The green color of the map makes sense as leaks also suggest that it is a jungle, and also surrounded by sand, hence could be located close to the Sumeru desert. Penumbra might be similar in size to the Archipelago, giving ample chance for players to explore.

Amidst all the map leaks, @HoYoverseJapan on Twitter has claimed the map name to be “Veluriyam Mirage”. The map might be a domain owned by an Oceanid, called Idyia. There is no information if the model of the new Oceanid will be similar to the familiar Rhodeia. Players are advised to take any leaks with a grain of salt until any official confirmation.
