Get ready, Genshin Impact fans, because Version 5.5, titled "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, promising an even more thrilling exploration of Natlan. This update is packed with new adventures, characters, and features that will deepen your gaming experience.

One of the most anticipated additions is the introduction of controller support for Android devices. With this update, Genshin Impact will finally allow players to use a variety of controllers, enhancing the gameplay experience on mobile. For those eager to learn more about the supported 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 massive volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan holds ancient secrets and a sacred city that has been dormant for ages. As you navigate through the magma-filled landscapes, your mission will be to unravel the mysteries of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One.

You'll also meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values physical strength and incorporates it into their daily lives through various challenges. Two new playable characters are set to join the roster: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, uniquely restores Phlogiston after food consumption, making her an exceptional support character. 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, allowing her to provide continuous healing.

In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, you'll have the chance to pull for Varesa and Iansan, along with reruns for Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Check out the exciting 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 fun mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," will have you guiding baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By participating in this event, you'll have the opportunity to invite Ororon to your team for free.

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