FAQs
Q: Will the new Natlan region be accessible to all players in Genshin Impact 5.5?
A: While we’re all itching to explore the volcanic wonders of Natlan, access details haven’t been confirmed yet. Typically, new regions have Adventure Rank requirements and may be tied to story progression. We’ll know more after the official livestream, so stay tuned!
Q: How can we make the most of the new artifact sets coming in Genshin Impact 5.5?
