Of course, the update also includes new events, banners, character outfits, and quality-of-life improvements. The update will be released on July 1, 2026 (UTC+8) after scheduled server maintenance by HoYoverse. Here’s everything you need to know about the release date, maintenance schedule, and what to expect once Version 6.7 goes live.

HoYoverse has scheduled Genshin Impact Version 6.7 for July 1, 2026, at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). As with previous major patches, servers are expected to undergo approximately five hours of maintenance before players can log in.
For players in North America, the update will become available on the evening of June 30, while most European and Asian regions will receive it on July 1. Here is a list of launch times for all major time zones across the world.
