When it's time for the special broadcasts to begin, you can head over to the official Genshin Impact Twitch channel to view the presentation in full. This will actually be the first time we've received any concrete details of the 2.8 update for the ongoing game, so we could well see new features like characters, gameplay adjustments, or perhaps even a release date for the update.
If it doesn't feel like that long since the 2.7 update Genshin Impact launched, that's because it isn't. After an original delay pushing the broadcast for the update back, the last update for miHoYo's game launched late last month on May 31, bringing in new characters and gameplay details like always. Considering this, the time between the 2.7 and 2.8 updates for Genshin Impact could be reduced.
Meanwhile, rumors surrounding the big 3.0 update for Genshin Impact are persisting. After leakers claimed the update would be going into beta earlier this month, details surrounding the 3.0 update surfaced online earlier this week, but they're so dicey that some leakers won't even touch them.
