Genshin Impact 3.1 will launch on September 28, 2022, with a ton of new content for Travelers to enjoy. Some players may wish to get a quick overview of the upcoming update. In that regard, here is what this article will cover:

This article will primarily rely on what HoYoverse has officially revealed but may reference some leaks whenever necessary. With that in mind, it's time to take a look at the 3.1 update's details.

This Genshin Impact 3.1 countdown is set to 11:00 am (UTC+8) on September 28, 2022. The reason 11:00 am (UTC+8) is used is because that's when the title's updates almost always happen. HoYoverse says that maintenance takes approximately five hours to complete, and it has historically always started at 6:00 am (UTC+8).

The September 28, 2022, date has been officially confirmed several times, with the first confirmation happening on a roadmap tweet posted on August 13, 2022. Thus, Travelers can expect Genshin Impact 3.1 to launch at 11:00 am (UTC+8) on September 28, 2022.

Here is the banner order:

Cyno and Venti's banners will also feature a new 4-star character named Candace, and they will be available once Genshin Impact 3.1 goes live. However, Nilou and Albedo's banners don't have a known start date as of yet. It's also worth mentioning that, aside from Candace, no other 4-star characters are known to be featured on these banners.

Staff of the Scarlet Sands is a 5-star Polearm that should debut on Cyno and Venti's Epitome Invocation. By comparison, Key of Khaj-Nisut is a new 5-star Sword expected to appear on Nilou and Albedo's Epitome Invocation.

Here is a list of 4-star weapons confirmed to debut in Genshin Impact 3.1:
