Genshin Impact will be getting its Version 5.5 update on 26 March. Players will meet a new tribe, the Collective of Plenty, and explore the Great Volcano of Tollan, a new area in Natlan. The new update also introduces two new playable playable characters – Varesa and Iansan.

Long revered as a sacred mountain, the Great Volcano of Tollan hides a sacred city built by the Dragonborn. Players can enter the Sacred City of Tollan and set out to unravel the mystery of the “Flamelord’s Blessing” and the enigma surrounding their Little One.

On the path to the sacred mountain, players will encounter the Collective of Plenty. The people there are deeply devoted to fitness and love to test their strength in friendly competitions. Nurtured by fertile volcanic soil, the tribe’s harvest is blessed with exceptionally sweet and juicy fruits.

Introduced along with this update is the Tatankasaurus, a new Saurian from the Collective of Plenty. This new transformation is capable of smashing through large chunks of Pulverite and even briefly dashing across water or liquid Phlogiston.

As for new characters, Varesa is a 5-star Electro Catalyst user who uses Plunging Attacks to trigger her Fiery Passion state. Iansan, who has already been introduced in the main story, is a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder. She provides powerful support to the party by enhancing the on-field character’s ATK while also healing her allies.

Version 5.5 also introduces a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, as well as some Artifact leveling optmizations. Upgrading Artifacts defined with Sanctifying Elixirs now guarantees at least two upgrades to the defined Minor Affixes.

Genshin Impact Version 5.5 goes live on 26 March next week. Varesa and Iansan will be featured in the first phase of Event Wishes (alongside Xianyun), while Xilonen and Venti’s banners will return in the second half.
