HoYoverse has revealed the Genshin Impact Version 5.5 release date, and the latest update for the popular gacha action RPG is launching later this month.
As revealed earlier today, you can expect Genshin Impact Version 5.5 to arrive on March 26th. It’ll bring with it lots of new stuff, including the final tribe of Natlan in the Collective of Plenty, as well as two new characters, a new map, and more.
First up, you can explore the new Great Volcano of Tollan map, which promises plenty of secrets if you dare to delve into its magma-filled depths. As you travel to the mountain, you’ll meet the Collective of Plenty and take part in their “friendly competitions” of strength.
Of course, you can also look forward to two new fighters joining the fray. First up is 5-star Electro Catalyst wielder Varesa, who uses plunging attacks to deal extra damage and give her access to a special Elemental Burst ability.
Your second new fighter in Genshin Impact Version 5.5 is 4-star Electro Polearm wielder Iansan, who serves as a support character by buffing and healing her allies.
Varesa and Iansan will both debut in the first half of Version 5.5’s cycle, with a rerun coming for Xianyun during that period as well. In the second half, reruns for Xilonen and Venti will be available.
Other activities include the return of the Bloomflower Trials, which will ask you to save an ill Saurian, as well as a new Treasure Seeker minigame that has you helping baby Saurians to “collect shiny treasures”. D’awww.
As usual, HoYoverse also has some codes for you to help you get some free stuff. Here are this week’s codes!
