The hype for Genshin Impact version 2.6 is unreal. The ongoing 2.5 update is mainly a filler, and the next patch is expected to arrive with a lot of new content.
The 2.6 Special Program revealed new artifacts, character banners, quests, events, The Chasm, and a lot more. Naturally, players who've already explored Enkanomiya and other existing regions will now have a reason to log in and grind.
On that note, here's the release date and time for Genshin Impact 2.6 update for prominent timezones such as UTC, EST, and more.
