What time is Genshin Impact 5.0 coming out?
Genshin ImpactPatch 5.0 is coming soon and will add the new region of Natlan, more story missions to complete, and new characters to collect.
Below we explain when Genshin Impact maintenance starts and ends, along with the release time of version 5.0. We’ve also added some details about what to expect from Genshin Impact version 5.0.
What time is Genshin Impact offline for maintenance?
Genshin Impact will go down for maintenance Tuesday August 27 or Wednesday August 28 (depending on your time zone) at the following times and will be unavailable for approximately five hours:
Be sure to burn off the resin before starting maintenance if you wish.
What time does Genshin Impact version 5.0 start?
Genshin Impact should return from maintenance with version 5.0 at the following times:
The servers may come online sooner or later depending on how the maintenance goes, but these are the estimated times that 5.0 should go live. Hoyoverse is usually pretty good about adhering to maintenance times. We don’t usually get extended maintenance, but it usually ends early, sometimes an hour earlier than the predicted end time.
What’s New in Genshin Impact Version 5.0?
This update is a big one. In fact, it’s so big that we highly recommend updating the game now if you want to dive into Natlan as soon as it comes out. You can do this via the Hoyoverse launcher on PC and the App Store on iOS. For Android devices, you can simply open the game and follow the on-screen prompts, and for PlayStation 4 and 5, you can press the Options button and click “check for update.”
5.0 will feature a wealth of content, including the brand new Natlan region and new Archon Quests that come with it. Three new characters from the Natlan lineup will also get their time in the gacha banner: Kachina (Geo), Kinich (Dendro), and Mualani (Hydro).
For the first time ever, players can claim a free five-star character via the standard banner. So if you’re missing one of the standard characters (Dehya, Keqing, Mona, Qiqi, Jean, Tighnari, or DilucZ) or just want to build constellations, you’ll need to log in before October 8th to claim this special reward.
