What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Venture deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a towering volcano, and intriguing new characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan harbors ancient secrets and a dormant sacred city, waiting to be explored. As magma stirs beneath, you'll unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the mystery surrounding the Little One. Along your journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values fitness and strength as a way of life.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters: 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 performance outside of battle. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offense with support. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, enabling continuous healing.

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