After a delay, Genshin Impact 2.7 update will finally go live on May 31 after a five hour maintenance period. 2.7 is expected to last six weeks, and then update 2.8 should go live on July 7.

As usual, the new update will be accompanied by a Genshin 2.7 update livestream diving into what players can expect. The livestream will take place on May 20 at 8 AM ET / 5 AM PT over on Hoyoverse's Twitch and YouTube channel.

Hoyoverse has delayed the 2.7 update for a couple weeks due to the COVID restrictions in Shanghai, according to the company's statement given to Inverse.
