Genshin Impact is set to ignite excitement with its upcoming Version 5.5 update, "Day of the Flame's Return," launching on March 26th. This update promises to intensify the Natlan region with a slew of new content and features, including the much-anticipated addition of controller support for Android devices. For those eager to learn more about compatible controllers, you can find detailed information here.
What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
Prepare to venture deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan harbors ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. As magma stirs beneath, your mission is to unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the mystery surrounding the Little One. Along your journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values fitness and strength as a way of life.
Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, uniquely restores 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 capabilities. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, enabling continuous healing.
The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan, alongside a rerun of Xianyun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Dive into the excitement of these new additions below.
The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback
In this update, you'll collaborate with Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to aid a sick Saurian. A new mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures, with the chance to invite Ororon for free upon participation.
On the challenge front, a formidable new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. You can download the game from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update once it's released.
