Genshin Impact is set to launch its highly anticipated Version 5.5 update, "Day of the Flame's Return," on March 26th, promising an exhilarating expansion in Natlan. This update isn't just about advancing the storyline; it's bringing a slew of exciting new features and content to the game.
One of the most awaited additions is the introduction of controller support for Android devices, finally making its way into the game with Version 5.5. If you're eager to learn more about which controllers will be supported, you can find all the details here.
In Version 5.5, adventurers will delve deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, exploring a new tribe, a massive volcano, and encountering fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan holds ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city, with magma simmering beneath its surface. Players will unravel the mysteries surrounding the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigma of the Little One, encountering the Collective of Plenty tribe along the way. This tribe is deeply committed to fitness, integrating strength challenges into their daily lives.
Two new playable characters will join the roster: Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, and Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder. Varesa uniquely restores Phlogiston after consuming food, offering support outside of combat. Iansan, one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offense and support, gaining the Warming Up effect when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, which enables her to provide continuous healing.
The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan, alongside reruns for Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Below, you can explore all the exciting additions coming with this update.
Players will encounter familiar faces like Mavuika and Ifa, helping a sick Saurian. Additionally, a fun mini-game, "Saurian Treasure Seeker," challenges you to guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures, with the chance to invite Ororon for free upon participation.
A new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures, offering a thrilling challenge. You can download the game from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update once it becomes available.
