Genshin Impact update 2.6 live stream: When is stream date and time?

Genshin Impact update 2.6 live stream could be days away from dropping. The next big Genshin Impact patch is likely due out on March 30 and fans could find out exactly what this patch will be bringing to the table later this week. According to well-known leaker Save Your Primos, the Genshin Impact update 2.6 live stream could be happening on Friday March 18.

Earlier this month the account tweeted: “According to our handy-dandy Version Update Calendar, the expected date for the 2.6 Livestream is next week Friday, March 18th.

“Subject to change via official announcement, as always.”

In terms of a start time, if miHoYo follows the schedule for past Genshin Impact live streams then the broadcast should begin at 12pm UK time.

As fans wait to find out what will be included in Genshin Impact update 2.6 leaks have pointed towards a five star character banner being re-run.

And it’s Venti – the first ever five-star banner in Genshin Impact – who is rumoured to be making his long-awaited return.

While another character that could be making a comeback in Genshin Impact is Ayaka.

The news comes as the Genshin Impact Twitter has confirmed one new character that will be arriving with update 2.6.

This new addition to the roster is Hydro sword user Kamisato Ayato.

And leaks have given fans an idea of what to expect from Ayato, who is expected to be a traditional DPS character that has a strong focus on normal attacks.

In other Genshin Impact news, fans of the hit game have just seen a new event launch – which is called Of Drink A-Dreaming.

The event sees players enter a bartending academy and concoct different drinks for other characters to enjoy.
