A new leak from Genshin Impact is teasing a trio of new Local Legends enemies planned to be added to the game during the Version 5.5 update. The massively popular HoYoverse RPG has introduced a wide variety of enemies throughout the world of Teyvat, offering different levels of challenges for its massive playerbase. Normal and Elite Enemies can be found roaming the in-game world, while enemies like World Bosses and Weekly Bosses boast their own arenas with unique rewards. However, Fontaine brought an entirely new level of challenge to the RPG with a new enemy variant.
The Local Legends enemies, first introduced to Genshin Impact with Fontaine’s release, are some of the RPG’s most powerful in-game enemies. Local Legends enemies not only boast staggering HP totals requiring players to bring their strongest characters, but can also inflict massive damage and quickly overwhelm an unprepared team. Fontaine and Natlan both feature a scattered selection of Local Legends, with players rewarded with an achievement for defeating each different enemy. Now, Natlan’s next map expansion is set to bring three new Local Legends to Genshin Impact.

New Local Legends aren’t the only thing set to come to Genshin Impact during Version 5.5 alongside its new map expansion. HoYoverse has already revealed two characters that will debut during the update, with Varesa as a new five-star unit alongside the long-awaited release of Iansan as a four-star character. Version 5.5 is also heavily rumored to feature re-runs of several popular five-star characters, expected to welcome Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti back to the limited gacha banner. Genshin Impact‘s next update should bring loads of content to satisfy a wide range of fans.
