Genshin Impact's next big update, Version 5.5 "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, bringing even more excitement to the Natlan region. This update is not just about expanding the storyline; it introduces a plethora of new features and content to the game.

One of the most anticipated additions is the introduction of controller support for Android devices, which will finally be implemented with Version 5.5. If you're eager to learn more about the supported controllers, you can find all the details here.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Prepare to delve deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, explore a massive volcano, and meet fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan is a site filled with ancient secrets and a sacred city that has been dormant for centuries. As magma rumbles beneath, your mission is to unravel the mystery behind the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One. Along your journey, you'll encounter the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values physical strength and incorporates it into their daily life.

Two new characters will join the roster in Version 5.5: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, offers unique support by restoring Phlogiston after food consumption. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offense and support. She gains the Warming Up effect when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, allowing her to provide continuous healing.

In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, you can pull for Varesa and Iansan, along with Xianyun's rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out the exciting additions below.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

During your adventures, you'll meet Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to assist a sick Saurian. A new mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By participating in this event, you can invite Ororon to your team for free.

For those seeking a challenge, a 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.
