Genshin Impact 4.8 Livestream Date & Time, What to Expect

As with every update, Genshin Impact's Version 4.8 will be preceded by a Special Program Livestream, offering an overview of the upcoming version update. These beloved broadcasts keep players informed and hyped for upcoming content, and the upcoming 4.8 stream promises to be just as exciting, revealing the official release date, the gameplay kit for the new five-star character Emilie, quality of life updates, and much more!

The Version 4.8 update is a special one as it marks the end of the Fontaine cycle. Following tradition, players can expect a short preview for the next major region, Natlan, towards the end of the live stream. On top of the arrival of the Dendro character Emilie, recent leaks hint at a wealth of other content, including exciting event reruns and the highly-anticipated annual summer flagship event featuring a unique limited-time map, all of which will be covered during the stream.

4.8 Livestream Date and Time

While HoYoverse hasn't officially confirmed the date and time for the Version 4.8 Livestream, Genshin Impact usually follows a six-week update cycle with three-week phases for each update. Livestreams typically air two weeks before the official release, often on Fridays.

Following this pattern, the Version 4.8 Livestream is likely scheduled for Friday, July 5, 2024, Friday at 1:05 pm BST | 8:05 am EDT.
