Genshin Impact’s 5.7 patch (aka the Skirk patch) is coming soon, with some new heavy Danslief story coming with it. If you’re one of the people who immediately went feral for Skirk when she appeared in Fontaine, this is the patch for you.
Below, we explain when Genshin Impact maintenance starts and ends, alongside the release time of version 5.7. We’ve also added some details about what to expect from Genshin Impact patch 5.7.
What time does Genshin Impact go down for maintenance?
Genshin Impact will go down for maintenance on Tuesday, June 17, or Wednesday, June 18 (depending on your time zone), at the following times and will be unavailable for approximately five hours:
Make sure to burn your resin before maintenance starts, if you wanted to, but keep in mind that the new battle pass season will launch when the game comes back from maintenance, so you may want to hold on to some.
What time does Genshin Impact version 5.7 start?
Genshin Impact should come back from maintenance with the 5.7 version at the following times:
The servers may come up early or late, depending on how maintenance goes, but these are the approximate times 5.7 should go live. Usually Hoyoverse is pretty good by abiding by maintenance times. We don’t usually get extended maintenance, but it does end early sometimes!
What’s new in Genshin Impact version 5.7?
This patch will have Skirk and Dahlia, two highly-anticipated characters. Skirk is a five-star Cryo sword-user and Dahlia is a four-star Hydro sword-user. Dainsleif is back for this patch’s story, no doubt to drop a major story bomb that will have lore-heads pacing back and forth for a while.
There will also be an auto-battler event where you can get a free copy of Sethos, as well as the usual onslaught of combat-related events and some mini-games to play to help you bide your time.
