Genshin Impact 2.7 update reportedly postponed due to COVID crisis in China

sportskeeda.com:

Genshin Impact 2.7 has reportedly been postponed, meaning fans will have to wait a while longer before the new version releases. Characters like Yelan and Kuki Shinobu are set to debut during this version, alongside a new story that will plunge players deeper into the Chasm.

According to current information, the update has been postponed due to the growing COVID-19 crisis in China, which has offset the release schedule and caused serious delays in the workplace. Fans can find out more about this delay here, along with the possible compensation.

Genshin Impact 2.7 has been officially delayed, and while the exact reason has yet to be released, many have speculated that it is due to an uptick of COVID-19 cases in China.

This has significantly affected the workflow of many companies, and it seems that Hoyoverse is not exempt. Fans of the game may need to wait a week (or even longer) for the update to finally relase.

There has yet to be a full official statement on the delay, though there have been some statements, like a reply to a comment on the official forum.

This reply stated that the special 2.7 livestream will be postponed, and that they are sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, a replacement date has not been revealed, meaning gamers will also have to wait for more information about the livestream.

The reason for this update's delay is likely due to the severe COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent lockdown that is affecting China, especially Shanghai. Many workers have been unable to get to work due to the lockdown, and this has likely prevented the completion of the 2.7 update. The exact date of when the lockdown will be lifted is unknown, and this may push the update's release even further back.
