Exciting Artifact Update Leaked for Genshin Impact Version 5.5

Genshin Impact fans, get ready for an exciting update: Version 5.5 is rumored to bring the remaining Fontaine Artifact sets into the Strongbox system. Longtime players have been anticipating this move, and if leaks hold true, the update will include Song of Days Past, Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods, Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy, and Unfinished Reverie. Expect the new version to drop on March 28, 2025.

News flashed through the community that these long-awaited Artifact sets will soon make their Strongbox debut. Since the Fontaine era, these artifacts have largely flown under the radar despite offering substantial gameplay benefits. Furina’s role as a top-tier Support character has allowed the Marechaussee Hunter set to become a valuable resource beyond Fontaine hypercarries. Similarly, the Golden Troupe has revived the strength of older characters like Fischl.

But let’s be honest, artifact farming in Genshin Impact can be a grind. The developers have attempted to lighten the load by introducing different tools like the Sanctifying Elixir and the Strongbox, making it easier, though hardly convenient, to acquire desired sets. Previously, only the Marechaussee Hunter and Golden Troupe made it into the Strongbox when the game reached Natlan, leaving three key sets wanting.

Fortunately, as a nice turn of events, the much-anticipated Version 5.5 is changing the game. FireflyNews has confirmed that players can expect to see Song of Days Past, Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods, Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy, and Unfinished Reverie added to the mix. For those maining Navia, particularly, this announcement can’t come soon enough, as many have been persistently farming Waterfall Wen since way back in Version 4.3. This new update offers a chance to redirect some of that valuable Resin toward the latest Artifact Domain, freeing players from relentless farming.

Within Genshin Impact’s loyal fanbase, Song of Days Past may not be the most popular artifact, but the addition is certain to satisfy eager players. The upcoming sets seem to spotlight characters like Varesa and Skirk. Varesa’s set will reportedly offer considerable bonuses for Plunging Attacks, while Skirk’s set might be tailor-made for characters with no Elemental Energy.

More changes are on the horizon too, as developers have hinted at new updates to the Sanctifying Elixir, promising that Version 5.5 will see chosen attributes receive at least two upgrades. For details, fans should keep an eye on the developer’s next livestream, presumably scheduled for March 14, 2025. Mark your calendars: the full update is slated for release on March 28, 2025.

As anticipation builds for Version 5.5, players continue to explore the vast world of Teyvat, a land rich with elemental energy and adventure. Every update keeps the journey thrilling, offering new characters, mysteries, and lands to discover, leaving us all eager for what comes next in this ever-expanding universe.
