"Genshin Impact 5.5 Update: 'Day of the Flame's Return' Brings New Challenges"

Get ready for an exhilarating journey as Genshin Impact rolls out its latest update, Version 5.5 titled "Day of the Flame's Return." Mark your calendars for March 26th, as Natlan heats up with thrilling new content and features. This update isn't just about the storyline; it's a comprehensive expansion of the game itself.

One of the most eagerly awaited features is finally here: controller support for Android devices. With Version 5.5, you'll be able to enhance your gaming experience with supported controllers. Curious about which ones? You can find all the details here.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Dive into the southwestern part of Natlan, where adventure awaits with a new tribe, a massive volcano, and fresh characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan is not just a geological wonder but a repository of ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city. As you explore, you'll navigate through the rumbling magma to uncover the mysteries surrounding the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigmatic Little One.

You'll encounter the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values physical strength and turns it into a way of life. Their fitness challenges will test your mettle as you journey through their lands.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, brings a unique support ability by restoring Phlogiston after consuming food, enhancing your team's capabilities outside of battle. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, combines offense with support. When a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, she gains the Warming Up effect, allowing her to provide continuous healing.

The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan, along with Xianyun's rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out these exciting additions below.

The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback

In this update, you'll team up with Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to aid a sick Saurian. Engage in the "Saurian Treasure Seeker" mini-game, where you'll guide baby Saurians through obstacles to collect treasures. By participating in this event, you'll have the chance 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 as soon as it's released.
