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 the long-awaited controller support for Android devices, finally arriving with Version 5.5. 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 site of 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.
