Genshin Impact enthusiasts, get ready for Version 5.5, dubbed "Day of the Flame's Return," set to launch on March 26th. This update promises an exciting expansion into Natlan, intensifying the adventure with a blend of new storylines and gameplay enhancements. One of the most anticipated features is the addition of controller support for Android devices, enhancing your gaming experience significantly. Curious about which controllers will be compatible? You can find all the details here.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Venture deep into the southwestern region of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan is not just a scenic backdrop but a place brimming with ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. As you navigate the magma-laden landscape, your mission will be to unravel the mystery of the "Flamelord’s Blessing" and the enigma of the Little One. Along this journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values physical prowess, turning strength challenges into a cultural cornerstone.

Two new characters will join your roster in this update: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, brings a unique twist by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, making her an invaluable support character outside of combat. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan’s six heroes, blends offense with support. Her ability to gain the Warming Up effect when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst allows her to provide continuous healing, adding depth to your team dynamics.

In the first phase of Version 5.5’s Event Wishes, you'll have the chance to pull for Varesa and Iansan, alongside reruns for Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Check out the exciting additions below.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

During your exploration, you'll encounter Mavuika, Ifa, and other allies from Natlan as you work to help a sick Saurian. Dive into the "Saurian Treasure Seeker" mini-game, where you'll guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. Participation in this event rewards you with the chance to invite Ororon for free.

For those seeking a challenge, a new boss awaits in the volcanic fissures: the Lava Dragon Statue. You can download the game from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update as soon as it's available.
