What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Players will delve deeper into the southwestern part of Natlan, uncovering a new tribe, a massive volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan, a site steeped in ancient secrets, houses a sacred city long dormant. As you navigate the magma-filled depths, your mission is to unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the mystery surrounding the Little One. Along your journey, you'll encounter the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values physical prowess and integrates strength challenges into their daily lives.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters to the Genshin Impact roster: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, brings a unique support role by restoring Phlogiston after food consumption. Meanwhile, Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offensive capabilities with support, offering continuous healing through the Warming Up effect triggered by a teammate's Nightsoul Burst.

The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan, alongside reruns for Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Dive into the excitement with the trailer below:
