Genshin Impact Version 5.5 "Day of the Flame's Return" Drops Soon with New Challenges and Features

Genshin Impact is set to ignite excitement with its upcoming Version 5.5 update, aptly titled "Day of the Flame's Return," scheduled for release on March 26th. This update promises to intensify the exploration of Natlan with new adventures and gameplay enhancements.

One of the most anticipated features of Version 5.5 is the introduction of controller support for Android devices. This long-awaited addition will enhance the gaming experience for mobile players, allowing for more precise control and comfort. You can find more details on the supported controllers here.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

In this update, players will venture deeper into the southwestern part of Natlan, encountering a new tribe, exploring a massive volcano, and meeting fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan harbors ancient secrets and a sacred city that has slumbered for centuries. As you navigate through the rumbling magma, you'll unravel the mysteries of the "Flamelord’s Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One. Along the way, you'll interact with the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values physical strength and turns it into a way of life.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters to the roster: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, offers unique support by restoring Phlogiston after food consumption, enhancing your capabilities outside of battle. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan’s six heroes, combines offensive and support roles. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, providing continuous healing.

The Event Wishes for Version 5.5 will feature Varesa and Iansan in the first phase, alongside Xianyun’s rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Below, you can see all these exciting additions in action.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

In this update, you'll encounter Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies as you help a sick Saurian. A fun mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," will challenge you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By participating, you'll have the opportunity to 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 Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update as soon as it's available.
