A newGenshin Impact5.5 leak has emerged, highlightingWorld Quests that may need to be completed before gaining access to the new missions arriving in the future update. The action RPG by HoYoverse is still in Version 5.3, with Version 5.4 a few weeks away following the patch’s official livestream. During the special event, the developer revealed all the content that players can expect from the next patch, including story updates, limited-time events, character banners, and therelease date ofGenshin Impact5.4. The Version 5.5 beta tests haven’t started yet, but there’s already some information about its content.
For example, the developer has already revealed that a massive update to Artifacts will occur in Version 5.5, which is possibly the best thing to occur to the system since the introduction of dedicated crafting in Version 5.0 via Sanctifying Elixirs.From the patch onward, the sub-stats selected during crafting will be guaranteed to enhance at least twice, which may mitigate Artifacts with poor sub-stats. Additionally, there’s been a leak about a possibleNPC inGenshin Impact5.5that may indicate a major update set in the region of Natlan, which is now sustained by the newer Version 5.5 leaks.
Genshin Impact 5.5 Tests Are About To Begin, As Seen In Leaks
HoYoverse Allegedly Issued Recommendations For Testers
The internal beta tests for Version 5.5 may be about to begin, according to a new leak. As seen in the information provided by Genshin Leakflow,HoYoverse issued a set of recommended preparations for testers to follow before playing through the content of Version 5.5. The leak was translated and shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit. According to the leak, players may have to update their iOS devices to iOS 15 or above (should they play on iOS devices). The leaked information from HoYoverse alerts that runningGenshin Impacton iOS’ older versions may result in problems.
Genshin Impact 5.4 Leaks: Forget The Wriothesley Rerun Banner, You Should Save Primogems For Another Character
Although a Wriothesley rerun banner has long been anticipated in Genshin Impact, players should consider saving their Primogems for another character.
The leaked recommendations for the Version 5.5 beta tests also include the completion of the “Revelations from the Past” and “Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm” World Quest series, both of which are set in the region of Natlan. The former, which is part of the larger “Between Pledge and Forgettance” series, was introduced in Version 5.0. The latter was added to the game with Version 5.2, debuting alongside the introduction of Ochkanatlan in the Nation of Pyro. It’s unsure if these quests will need to be completed to gain access to the planned story content inGenshin Impact5.5.
Players May Need To Complete Two World Quest Chains For Genshin Impact 5.5’s New Missions
Completing The Quests May Help Players Feel Better Contextualized For The Upcoming Missions
While it’s unknown if not completing these specific quests will lock players from accessing the new quests in Version 5.5,the leaked recommendation from HoYoverse does lead to the understanding that the new missions will be related to the revelations in the aforementioned questlines. “Revelations from the Past” is the final mission in the “Between Pledge and Forgettance” story arc, which can be started immediately after completing the “Rite of the Bold” World Quest.
For reference, this quest can be initiated by interacting with Manqu in the Children of the Echoestribe inGenshin Impactafter completing the “Shadows of the Mountains” and “Tale of Dreams Plucked From Fire” World Quests.
Because reaching the end of “Revelations from the Past” requires going through, essentially, four distinct World Quest series, this is a fairly long adventure. To ensure players will be able to either go through the upcoming content in Version 5.5 or at least be up-to-date with the revelations that occurred with the Traveler, Paimon, and their saurian companion up until now, it’s recommended that players start going through all of these World Quests as soon as possible. Most of the questline will be set in Tequemecan Valley in the region of Natlan.
The second questline that HoYoverse has allegedly recommended to be completed before engaging with any story content in Version 5.5 is “Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm”, a set ofWorld Quests in Ochkanatlan inGenshin Impact. Unlike the previous series of quests, it is much simpler to initiate these missions. Players will need to simply head over to Ochkanatlan and start exploring.While traversing the central landmass that connects Quahuacan Cliff to Ochkanatlan, the Traveler will see a dragon overhead and, upon reaching the area’s Statue of the Seven, events will take place and the quest will be initiated.
Genshin Impact 5.4 Is Adding A Much-Needed Weapon Feature, Four Years Later
Genshin Impact 5.4 is getting a much-needed update to a weapon feature that should make enhancing these items much quicker and smoother.
Although “Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm” does not need three other World Quest series to be completed for it to start, players will need to make their way over to Ochkanatlan. Furthermore,this story arc has three fairly large acts and an epilogue, which means it could take a few hours, if not days, to complete, depending on how players manage their time within the game. For reference, these Ochkanatlan missions are the ones that were recommended to be completed before the Archon Quests from Version 5.3; while unnecessary, they added more context to the events in Cinder City.
What Story Quests Will Be Added With Genshin Impact 5.5?
Rumors Speculate That The Update Will Introduce A New Natlan Sub-Region
Based on the recommendations that have allegedly been issued by HoYoverse, it seems likely that Version 5.5 will add new World Quests, possibly revolving around the Traveler and their saurian companion.If this is the case, then it’s also likely that a brand-new area will be added to the Natlan map in Version 5.5. So far, HoYoverse has not teased what sub-region will arrive and in what patch (there is a chance that a new map area will only be added in Version 5.6, for example), but rumors point toward the introduction of the volcano inGenshin Impact’s Natlan region.
Genshin Impact 5.4 Leaks: Tower Event’s Floor 24 Is Already Impossible For Regular Players
New details about the rumored battle tower event in Genshin Impact 5.4 have emerged and they show that floor 24 will be impossible to beat.
Playing an important part in the region’s culture and history, the volcano has long been looming in the distance, going so far as to erupt consistently, but players have been unable to access it or its surrounding region. In fact,for now, the Natlanese volcano is nothing more than an astonishing piece of background art, but it’s expected that players will eventually go there– and that may happen as soon as Version 5.5, especially if the recommendations for the beta tests hint at the introduction of new World Quests in Natlan.
No new area has been added since Version 5.2, so Natlan is going two full patches without an expansion, which is known to be incomplete based on several notable absences, including the volcano itself, the Collective of Plenty tribe, andMare Jivari inGenshin Impact.
As promising as it may seem, for now, these leaks and rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. The information provided may be incorrect, incomplete, or subject to change or postponements, which means what is expected of Version 5.5 may not happen during its run. Even so, Natlan will likely be explored a bit more after the conclusion of the main Archon Quests, expanding its territory as the game prepares for therelease of Nod-Krai in 2025, which may seeGenshin Impact’s roadmap extended by a full year.
