Genshin Impact's next major update, Version 5.5 titled "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, promising an intense expansion to the Natlan region. This update is packed with new content, both in terms of storyline and gameplay enhancements.

One of the most anticipated features is the addition of controller support for Android devices, which will be introduced with Version 5.5. If you're eager to learn more about the supported controllers, you can find detailed information here.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

In this update, players will explore the southwestern part of Natlan, encountering a new tribe, a massive volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan holds ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. As you navigate through the area with magma simmering beneath, you'll unravel the mysteries of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One. Along your journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values physical strength and incorporates it into their daily 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 exceptional support character outside of combat. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offensive and supportive abilities. 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, along with a rerun of Xianyun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out these exciting additions below.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

In this update, you'll encounter Mavuika, Ifa, and other allies from Natlan to aid a sick Saurian. A new mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. Participating in this event allows you to invite Ororon for free.

On the challenge front, 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.
