Get ready, Genshin Impact fans! The much-anticipated Version 5.5 update, "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, and it's bringing a fiery new chapter to Natlan. This update isn't just about expanding the storyline; it's packed with exciting new features and gameplay enhancements.

One of the most eagerly awaited additions is controller support for Android devices, finally making its way into the game with Version 5.5. If you're curious about which controllers will be compatible, you can find all the details 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 colossal volcano, and fresh faces. The Great Volcano of Tollan is home to ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. As you navigate the rumbling magma 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 fitness and strength, turning physical challenges 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, brings a unique support ability outside of battle by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offense and support. 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, alongside Xianyun's rerun. This will be followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out all these exciting additions below.

In this update, you'll team up with Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to help a sick Saurian. A fun mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By participating in the event, you'll have the opportunity to invite Ororon 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 dive into this massive update as soon as it's available.
