What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Prepare to explore deeper into Natlan's southwestern region, where a new tribe, a massive volcano, and fresh characters await your discovery. The Great Volcano of Tollan isn't just a scenic backdrop; it's a place brimming with ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. As you navigate through the area with magma simmering beneath, your mission will be to unravel the mysteries surrounding the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One. Along your journey, you'll encounter the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that celebrates strength through challenging fitness rituals.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters to the Genshin Impact universe: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, offers unique support by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, which is a game-changer outside of combat scenarios. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, brings a blend of offense and support to the table. She gains the Warming Up effect when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, enabling her to provide continuous healing.

The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan, along with a rerun of Xianyun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out the trailer below to get a glimpse of all the thrilling additions coming your way.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

In this update, you'll team up with Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to aid a sick Saurian. Dive into the "Saurian Treasure Seeker" mini-game, where you'll guide baby Saurians through various obstacles to collect treasures. By participating in this event, you'll have the chance to invite Ororon to your team for free.

For those seeking a challenge, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. Ready to experience all this? You can download Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update as soon as it's available.
