A recent revelation for the forthcoming installment of Genshin Impact, Version 5.5, unveils the imminent arrival of a character imbued with draconic qualities into the game’s realm. As the winds of rumor blow, whispers from the depths of the datamining community suggest the emergence of a new persona known simply as “Big Dragon.” Within the beta files of the game, this enigmatic figure is currently designated as an NPC, sparking fervent discussions among the game’s faithful followers on Reddit regarding the tantalizing prospect of its potential ascendance to playable status.
Delving deeper into the enigmatic allure of the “Big Dragon” character, the unveiling of Genshin Impact Version 5.5 seems to loom on the distant horizon, anticipated to grace players around the realm by March of the year 2025, following the imminent release of Version 5.4 on February 12th. While the ahead-of-its-time mention of “Big Dragon” hints at a pivotal role in the unfolding narrative, conjecture runs rife among the game’s ardent devotees, with some positing that this figure may be intertwined with the legendary Pyro Dragon lore that permeates the game’s rich tapestry. As the threads of speculation intertwine, theories emerge linking the character to Xiuhcoatl, also recognized as the formidable “Flamelord,” and revered as one of the Seven Sovereigns of Teyvat, shrouded in the annals of Natlan’s lore.
In a parallel tale told through the whispers of recent leaks, Xiuhcoatl stands poised to potentially debut as a Weekly Boss in the forthcoming Version 5.3 of Genshin Impact, assuming the ominous title of the “Corroded Lord of the Primal Flame.” Rumors abound, painting a vivid portrait of a corrupted mimic manipulated by the malevolent Abyss Order, or perhaps even the original vessel of Xiuhcoatl under the oppressive sway of the legion’s dark influence. As the saga unfolds, the game’s lore unveils Xiuhcoatl as a once fearsome scourge that reigned terror upon Natlan until its fateful clash with Xbalanque, the illustrious Pyro Archon who vanquished the beast at the Great Volcano of Tollan, ascending to the revered mantle of Archon. Whispers abound of Xiuhcoatl’s dormant essence lingering within the impassable confines of the volcano, teasing the possibility of its emergence as a formidable Weekly Boss in Version 5.5.
Yet, amidst the intrigue that surrounds the enigmatic “Big Dragon,” the designation as a placeholder within the Chinese server files hints at an evolving narrative awaiting players as they venture forth towards the prophesied Version 5.5. As time unfurls its wings upon the winding path ahead, the prospect of a new moniker to define the character’s essence captivates the imagination, promising further depths to plumb within the game’s evolving landscape.
For now, fervent players can sate their appetite for adventure by exploring the realms of Genshin Impact Version 5.2, where the illustrious Anemo Bow character Chasca, alongside the electrifying Electro Bow character Ororon, beckon players into a realm of boundless possibilities and untold tales yet to unfold.
