Want to know when the next Genshin Impact update is? Sticking with a regular six-week schedule, we rarely need to wait for the next livestream to know when a new version is releasing. Livestreams give us more than just a release date though, as they're also a great source of official banner and event information.

Each new update for Genshin Impact brings new banners to pull on, events to take part in, and there's usually a main storyline or character quest to sink hours of our time into as well. Not to mention all the updates we get for Miliastra Wonderland, Genius Invokation TCG, and more. The current update is version 6.6 (Luna VII), the next will be version 6.7 (Luna VIII), and this page explains everything we know about both the current and next updates in Genshin Impact.

When is the next Genshin Impact update?

The next Genshin Impact update will be on Wednesday, July 1 if it sticks with the usual six-week update schedule. This will be version 6.7 (Luna VIII). Although this date is technically guesswork for now, it's highly likely Genshin will update on this day, as not much gets in the way of its regular updates. However, for official confirmation, we'll just have to wait until the version 6.7 livestream.

When is the next Genshin Impact livestream?

The next Genshin Impact livestream will be on Friday, June 19 if the usual six-week schedule is maintained. This will be the livestream detailing all of the banners and events for version 6.7 (Luna VIII). Although it's likely Genshin will stick to this date (especially because we know when Snezhnaya releases), livestreams are more prone to delays than proper updates, with things like national Chinese holidays or sensitive dates pushing the stream back to Sundays, or even the next Friday in some cases.

We should officially know by Tuesday, June 15 what date and time the version 6.7 livestream will air at.

When is Snezhnaya releasing?

The region of Snezhnaya and version 7.0 will be released on Wednesday, August 12. This was confirmed in a behind the scenes video of Snezhnaya, which also showed off a bit of the region's snowy terrain, and Aether looking very serious in a new outfit (plus a gun, for some reason) inside a train.

Genshin Impact 6.6 banners

In Phase 1 of version 6.6, the Genshin Impact banners were Nicole and Durin, running from May 20 to June 9. Prune is a new four-star boosted on both banners, and all of the four-star characters across Nicole and Durin's banners were:

  • Fischl
  • Prune
  • Razor

Then in the current Phase 2 of version 6.6, the Genshin Impact banners are Lohen and Mavuika, running from June 9 to June 30.. The four-star characters on both their banners are:

  • Bennett
  • Xiangling
  • Mika
Genshin Impact 6.6 events

The overarching event To Temper Thyself and Journey Far is being extended to include Tempered in Practice mode, with new weekly goals rewarding items like Primogems upon completion. Plus, there are three regular events in version 6.6 of Genshin Impact.

Phantasmal Pals

This is the main, voiced event of version 6.6, and apart from its overarching story starring Klee and her adorable "Little Hexenzirkel" group (Prune, Qiqi, and Sayu), there are three types of mini-games to take part in:

  • Klee's training - fling Klee's signature Jumpy Dumpties at Dodocos, so they can catch them. Don't worry, these are of the non-explosive kind, which I'm sure Klee is super bummed about.
  • Qiqi and Yaoyao's training - The first is a 2D side-scrolling platformer, and the second is basically Genshin's version of Temple Run.
  • Prune's training - A standard combat event. More points = better rewards.

As well as the usual rewards like Primogems and Crowns of Insight, Phantasmal Pals rewards a new weapon skin for taking part: Super Awesome Magic Key. The event runs from May 22 to June 8.

Trials of the Brave Warrior

A pretty standard combat event set in the Nasha Town area of Nod-Krai. It plays like a mini version of the Spiral Abyss endgame mode. Runs from June 8 to June 18.

Kaleidoscopic Color Chase

A multiplayer mini-game where you have to push balls into your own color-coded zone. If you've ever played Fall Guys, this event might seem very familiar to you. Runs from June 18 to June 29.
