After indefinitely delaying version 2.7, Genshin Impact has finally announced its release date and time. The highly anticipated update was scheduled to arrive on May 11, 2022, but the severe COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai affected the development process.
Following this, the developers announced a weekly compensation and an indefinitely extended version 2.6. The third phase of the 2.6 update is live at the moment, and here's everything players need to know about the release of version 2.7 and version 2.8.
Players around the world have received an in-game notice that claims that the version 2.7 update maintenance will start on May 31, 2022 at 06.00 am (UTC+8). The servers will be down for around 5 hours and players can expect to enjoy the new content thereafter.
On the very same notice, the developers mentioned the 2.8 update as well. As usual, the 2.7 update will be live for six weeks and accordingly, version 2.8 will arrive on July 13, 2022.
The official Genshin Impact Twitter account for Japan has also revealed that the 2.7 live stream will take place on May 20, 2022 at 21.00 (Japanese Standard Time).
The aforementioned announcements also mean that Ayaka's banner and the weapon banner featuring the Mistsplitter Reforged and The Unforged will leave the game on May 31, 2022.
Considering that Ayaka's banner was extended for three long weeks, the community should not expect another rerun banner for the five-star Cryo sword character anytime soon.
Players will also be delighted to know that the teapot maintenance will finally end and they'll be able to use the placement function from May 31, 2022.
A ton of teapot users have been unable to increase the friendship level of their characters through the Spices From the West event.
