The 5.0 series of updates all pretty much focused on the new Natlan region and its storyline. Some of the events took place there as well, and it meant more characters from that place. This holds true for 5.5. However, one of the hosts for this latest showcase seems to be Yumemizuki Mizuki, an Inazuma character who showed up in 5.4. 

We do know two of the characters who will debut in Genshin Impact 5.5 already. It’s more people from Natlan. They are a master and student duo. Iansan is the Pilgrimage Victors Academy coach, and Varesa is her prized student. Both of them will be Electro characters. However, we don’t know what their rank will be, so it is uncertain if they are both five-stars or if one is a four-star unit.

At the moment, two rerun banners are active in Genshin Impact. People can get the five-stars Furina and Wriothesley. Both debuted after the Fontaine region appeared, and Furina was the Archon for the region.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and the 5.5 Special Program airs at on March 14, 2024. The 5.5 patch is expected to arrive on March 25, 2025.
