What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Embark on a thrilling journey into the southwestern region of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, the Collective of Plenty, a massive volcano known as the Great Volcano of Tollan, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano houses ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. Amidst the rumbling magma, your mission is to unravel the mystery of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigma of the Little One.

The Collective of Plenty is a tribe that values physical strength, integrating it into their daily life as a form of challenge and celebration. Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters to the roster: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, brings a unique support ability by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, enhancing your team's capabilities outside of combat.

Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, offers a blend of offensive and supportive roles. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Iansan gains the Warming Up effect, enabling her to provide continuous healing to the team.

In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, you'll have the chance to pull for Varesa and Iansan, alongside Xianyun's rerun. Subsequent phases will feature reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out all these exciting additions below.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

In this update, you'll team up with Mavuika, Ifa, and other allies from Natlan to aid a sick Saurian. Engage in 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 opportunity 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 dive into this massive update? You can download Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and explore all the new content once it's released.
