Genshin Impact's highly anticipated update, Version 5.5, dubbed "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, bringing a surge of excitement to the Natlan region. This update promises a rich tapestry of story developments and gameplay enhancements that will captivate players.
One of the most awaited features is the addition of controller support for Android devices, which will finally roll out with Version 5.5. If you're eager to learn more about the compatible controllers, you can find all the details here.
What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
In this update, you'll venture into the southwestern expanse of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, the awe-inspiring Great Volcano of Tollan, and new characters. The volcano is home to ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city, setting the stage for thrilling adventures.
As you navigate the area with magma simmering beneath the surface, your mission is to unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the mystery surrounding the Little One. Along your journey, you'll meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that celebrates physical prowess and turns strength challenges into a way of life.
Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, brings a unique support skill to the table, restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, which enhances her utility outside of combat.
Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm user and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offensive capabilities with supportive elements. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she activates 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. This will be followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Below, you can explore all these exciting new additions.

In this event, you'll team up with Mavuika, Ifa, and other allies from Natlan to aid a sick Saurian. A fun mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to gather treasures, and completing it allows you 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 immerse yourself in this expansive update when it becomes available.
