Genshin Impact 5.5 "Day of the Flame's Return" Launches with New Challenges

Genshin Impact's highly anticipated Version 5.5 update, "Day of the Flame's Return," is set to launch on March 26th, promising an intense expansion into Natlan. This update isn't just about advancing the storyline; it introduces significant gameplay enhancements, including the much-awaited controller support for Android players. You can find all the details on supported controllers here.

What Does Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Have in Store?

Prepare to delve into the southwestern reaches of Natlan, where you'll encounter a new tribe, a colossal volcano, and intriguing new characters. The Great Volcano of Tollan harbors ancient secrets and a dormant sacred city. As you navigate the magma-filled landscapes, your mission will be to unravel the mysteries of the "Flamelord’s Blessing" and the enigmatic "Little One." You'll also meet the Collective of Plenty, a tribe that celebrates strength and fitness as a core part of their culture.

Version 5.5 introduces two new playable characters: Varesa and Iansan. Varesa, a 5-star Electro Catalyst user, uniquely restores Phlogiston post-food consumption, making her an invaluable support character outside of combat. Iansan, a 4-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, blends offensive capabilities with support, gaining the Warming Up effect when a teammate triggers a Nightsoul Burst, which allows her to provide continuous healing.

The first phase of Version 5.5's Event Wishes will feature Varesa and Iansan alongside a rerun for Xianyun, followed by reruns for Xilonen and Venti. Explore these exciting additions below:
