Genshin Impact's eagerly awaited Version 5.5 update, titled "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, promising an even more thrilling experience in Natlan. This update is packed with exciting new content, both in terms of storyline and gameplay enhancements.
One of the most anticipated features is the introduction of controller support for Android devices, which will finally be available with Version 5.5. If you're interested in which controllers will be supported, you can find all the details here.
What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
In this update, players will venture deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, where they'll encounter a new tribe, a massive volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan is a site filled with ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. As magma stirs beneath the surface, players will unravel the mysteries of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigma of the Little One. Along the journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values fitness and turns strength challenges into a way of life.
Two new playable characters will join the roster in Genshin Impact Version 5.5: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, can restore Phlogiston after consuming food, making her a unique support character outside of battle. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offense and support. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, allowing her to provide continuous healing.
In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, Varesa and Iansan will be available alongside Xianyun's rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out all these exciting additions below.
The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback
Players will encounter Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to help a sick Saurian. A new mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," will challenge you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. Participating in this event will allow you to invite Ororon for free.
On the challenge front, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. You can download the game from the Google Play Store and dive into this massive update once it's released.
