Get ready, Genshin Impact fans! The eagerly awaited Version 5.5 update, dubbed "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to ignite on March 26th, and it's bringing the heat to Natlan. This update isn't just another patch; it's a full-blown expansion that will deepen the game's storyline and enhance gameplay in numerous ways.

One of the most exciting additions for Android users is the long-awaited controller support. With Version 5.5, you'll finally be able to play with a controller, enhancing your gaming experience. 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, explore a massive volcano, and meet fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan holds ancient secrets and a sacred city that has been dormant for ages. As magma rumbles beneath your feet, your mission is to unravel the mystery 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 as a way of life.

Two new playable characters are joining the roster in Genshin Impact Version 5.5: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, offers unique support by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, making her a valuable asset outside of battle. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, blends offense and support. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, providing continuous healing.

In the first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes, you can pull for Varesa and Iansan, along with Xianyun's rerun. Subsequent phases will feature reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Dive into these exciting additions below.

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 once it's released.
