Genshin Impact 2.2 Livestream: Date, Characters, Events, Locations, Promo Codes


Genshin Impact 2.1 is underway and, with Genshin Impact 2.2 expected to come out in mid-October, there's a lot of speculation as to what we will see.

miHoYo will run a live stream to dispel some of this speculation, and it should go live about a week before the 2.2 release.
