Genshin Impact's highly anticipated Version 5.5, "Day of the Flame's Return," ignites on March 26th, bringing the intensity of Natlan to a fever pitch. This update isn't just a story expansion; it's a game-changer. A major addition is finally bringing controller support to Android devices. Version 5.5 makes this a reality; details on supported controllers can be found [here].
What's New in Genshin Impact Version 5.5?
Venture deep into Natlan's southwestern region, encountering a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and exciting new characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan, a location steeped in ancient secrets and a long-dormant sacred city, awaits exploration. Unravel the mysteries surrounding the "Flamelord's Blessing" and the enigma of the Little One amidst the rumbling magma. You'll also meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that incorporates strength challenges into their daily lives.
Two new playable characters join the roster: the 5-star Electro Catalyst user Varesa, a unique support character who restores Phlogiston after food consumption, and the 4-star Electro Polearm wielder Iansan, one of Natlan's six heroes, blending offensive and supportive capabilities. Iansan gains the "Warming Up" effect when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, enabling continuous healing.
Version 5.5's Event Wishes will initially feature Varesa and Iansan alongside a Xianyun rerun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Explore all these additions below:
