"Genshin Impact 5.5 Update: 'Day of the Flame's Return' Launches with New Features"

Genshin Impact's eagerly awaited update, Version 5.5 "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, promising an intensified journey into Natlan. This update is not just a continuation of the storyline but also brings significant gameplay enhancements. A notable addition is the long-awaited controller support for Android devices, which you can learn more about here, detailing the compatible controllers.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Dive deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and new characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan is not just a landmark but a repository of ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. As magma stirs beneath, your quest is to unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the mystery surrounding the Little One. You'll also meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that celebrates physical strength as a way of life.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters: Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, and Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder. Varesa uniquely restores Phlogiston post-food consumption, enhancing her support capabilities outside of combat. Iansan, one of Natlan's six heroes, offers a blend of offense and support. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she activates the Warming Up effect, providing ongoing healing.

The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan, alongside reruns for Xianyun, Xilonen, and Venti. Check out these exciting additions in the trailer below:

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

Engage with Natlan allies like Mavuika and Ifa to aid a sick Saurian. Participate in the "Saurian Treasure Seeker" mini-game, guiding baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By taking part in this event, you'll have the opportunity to invite Ororon to your team at no cost.

For those seeking a challenge, a new boss, the Lava Dragon Statue, awaits in the volcanic fissures. Download Genshin Impact from the Google Play Store and immerse yourself in this expansive update when it becomes available.
