Genshin Impact 5.5 Release Date & Maintenance End Time, check out now
We’ve known about Iansan for a while now, thanks to her appearance in Genshin’s Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail. But even with that, not a lot of players expected her to be a 4-star character—though it wouldn’t be the first time Genshin surprised us (hello, Ningguang).
What’s even more interesting is that she’ll be debuting alongside Varesa, a competitive eater (yep, you read that right) from the Collective of Plenty—which is actually the same tribe Iansan is from.
Both characters will be introduced in Version 5.5, so if you’re planning to pull for either (or both!), here’s when to mark your calendar.
