What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

In Version 5.5, players will delve deeper into Natlan's southwestern region, uncovering a new tribe, the Collective of Plenty, and exploring the majestic Great Volcano of Tollan. This area hides ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. Your journey will involve unraveling the mysteries of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One, all while navigating the magma-filled landscape.

The Collective of Plenty is a tribe that values physical strength, turning it into a cultural cornerstone. As you explore, you'll encounter two new playable characters: Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user who uniquely restores Phlogiston after consuming food, enhancing her role as a support character outside of combat; and Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes. Iansan combines offensive and supportive capabilities, gaining the Warming Up effect to provide continuous healing when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst.

The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan, alongside reruns for Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Don't miss out on these exciting additions to the game.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

The update also brings back the Bloomflower Trials, where you'll join forces with Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to aid a sick Saurian. A fun mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures, with the reward of inviting Ororon for free upon participation.

For those seeking a challenge, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. Prepare to test your skills against this formidable foe. You can download Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update as soon as it's available.
