5.0 Genshin Impact Special Program Is Earlier Than Usual

HoYoVerse announced the date and time for the 5.0 Genshin Impact Special Program, and it is happening earlier (or later) than usual for time zones. It will be held at 9pm PT on August 15, 2024, which is 12am ET/6am CET/1pm JST on August 16, 2024. Normally, they tend to air at 5am PT/8am ET/2pm CET/9pm JST when held. 

As usual, people will be able to watch the Genshin Impact Special Program for 5.0 on Twitch and YouTube. The Twitch stream tends to appear first, with the YouTube archive following. The company didn’t note how long the presentation will be.

We do know exactly what it will cover, however. The 5.0 update will bring with it the new Natlan region, three new characters, the start of an additional Archon Quest, and additional events. Kachina, Kinich, and Mualani will apparently be the first playable characters introduced in that update.

Before that, there are things to do in 4.8. People can earn an outfit for Kirara during a new event. Emilie will also join as a new five-star, Dendro heroine using a polearm when new banners appear on August 6, 2024.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Special Program for 5.0 airs on August 16, 2024.
