Genshin Impact enthusiasts, get ready for an explosive update with Version 5.5, "Day of the Flame's Return," launching on March 26th. This update will intensify the Natlan region with a slew of new content and features, including the long-awaited controller support for Android. 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 into the southwestern reaches of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and fresh faces. The Great Volcano of Tollan hides ancient secrets and a dormant sacred city. With the magma stirring beneath, your mission is to unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the mystery of the Little One. Along this journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe dedicated to physical strength, turning fitness into a way of life.
Two new characters will join the fray in Version 5.5: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, brings a unique twist with her ability to restore Phlogiston post-meal, making her an exceptional support character outside combat. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, blends offense with support. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, providing continuous healing.
In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, you'll have the chance to pull for Varesa and Iansan alongside Xianyun's rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out these thrilling additions below.
The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback
In this update, you'll team up with Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to aid a sick Saurian. A fun mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By participating in this event, you'll have the opportunity to invite Ororon for free.
On the battlefront, prepare to face the new Lava Dragon Statue boss lurking in the volcanic fissures. You can download Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this massive update once it's available.
