Genshin Impact enthusiasts, get ready for the fiery excitement of Version 5.5, "Day of the Flame's Return," launching on March 26th. This update promises to intensify the action in Natlan with a slew of new content and features that will enhance your gaming experience.
One of the most anticipated additions in this update is the introduction of controller support for Android players. This long-awaited feature will significantly improve gameplay, and you can find more details on the supported controllers here.
What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
Prepare to venture into the southwestern part of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a massive volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan is not just a scenic backdrop but a place brimming with ancient secrets and a dormant sacred city. As you explore, you'll delve into the mystery of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigma of the Little One, all while navigating the rumbling magma beneath.
You'll encounter the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that celebrates fitness and strength challenges as a way of life. This update introduces two new playable characters: Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user who uniquely restores Phlogiston after consuming food, making her an exceptional support character outside of battle, and Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan’s six heroes. Iansan blends offense with support, gaining the Warming Up effect after 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, alongside reruns for Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Don't miss out on these exciting additions, as detailed below.
The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback
In this update, you'll team up with Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to help a sick Saurian. Engage in the "Saurian Treasure Seeker" mini-game, guiding baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By participating in this event, you can invite Ororon to your roster 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 when it becomes available.
