Genshin Impact is set to ignite with its upcoming Version 5.5 update, aptly named "Day of the Flame’s Return," scheduled to launch on March 26th. This update promises to intensify the adventure in Natlan, bringing with it a host of new features and content that players won't want to miss.
One of the most anticipated additions is the introduction of controller support for Android devices. This long-awaited feature will enhance gameplay for mobile users, allowing for a more immersive experience.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?
Version 5.5 will take you deep into the southwestern part of Natlan, where a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and fresh characters await. The Great Volcano of Tollan is shrouded in ancient secrets and houses a sacred city that has been dormant for centuries. As magma stirs beneath, you'll embark on a quest to unravel the enigma of the "Flamelord’s Blessing" and the mystery of the Little One.
Your journey will introduce you to the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that values fitness and strength challenges as a way of life. Two new playable characters will join the roster: Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user who can restore Phlogiston after consuming food, making her a unique support character outside of combat, and Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan’s six heroes. Iansan combines offense and support, gaining the Warming Up effect to provide continuous healing when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst.
In the first phase of Version 5.5’s Event Wishes, you can pull for Varesa and Iansan, along with Xianyun’s rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Check out the exciting additions below.
The Bloomflower Trials Are Making a Comeback
During the update, you'll encounter Mavuika, Ifa, and other Natlan allies to aid a sick Saurian. Additionally, a fun mini-game called "Saurian Treasure Seeker" will challenge you to 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 once it's released.
