Genshin Impact has always had a reliable update cycle, with players getting one new content update every four weeks or so. The coronavirus situation in Shangai seems to have changed HoYoverse’s usual schedule, as the developers announced via Twitter that Version 2.7 of Genshin Impact will see a delay.

HoYoverse officially stated that the delay was due to “project progress,” but we can reasonably speculate that the Covid-19 lockdowns in Shangai interrupted its development cycle. The company has already had to delay the livestream, and Genshin Impact still has an ongoing issue with the Serenitea Pot where players cannot put down new furniture. The developers did not state how long this delay will last, so we don’t know how many days or weeks we’ll have to wait to get this new update.
