miHoYo recently released a new form for players to fill out if they wish to be a part of the upcoming beta program for Genshin Impact 2.7. As of right now, the Genshin Impact 2.6 beta phase is ongoing, which is why users have been getting several leaks about it recently.

The end of March is the most likely release date for the 2.6 update, mainly due to past precedence regarding how long past updates lasted.

  • 2.0 -> 2.1: 42 days
  • 2.1 -> 2.2: 42 days
  • 2.2 -> 2.3: 42 days
  • 2.3 -> 2.4: 42 days
  • 2.4 -> 2.5: 42 days

As every recent version update has lasted for 42 days, likely, the current 2.5 update will also last for 42 days. That version started on February 16, so adding 42 days gets the March 30 estimate.

Genshin Impact 2.6 is expected to arrive on March 30. Some content that players can look forward to includes:

  • Ayato as a playable character
  • The Chasm as a brand new region
  • New enemies exclusive to The Chasm
  • New artifact sets
  • New events

A good deal of content has already been leaked for Genshin Impact 2.6, but new leaks keep arriving every day. That's not mentioning how much of it is still subject to change, given how there is nearly a month until its release date.

Ayato is also expected to have a release date of March 30 (based on several leakers stating that he will be on the first banner). It's the same date as the upcoming version update, so it should be easy to remember.
