Genshin Impact 3.4 is the next major update for the extremely popular video game. Naturally, some Travelers might wonder about its release date and time. The next update will be released at the same time for all three servers:

  • NA
  • EU
  • Asia

Time zones might confuse some players, which is why this article will try to simplify things for them. One important thing to note is that HoYoverse hasn't released the full details yet, but there is past precedence to go off of for this topic.

For example, every recent update has had maintenance occur at 6 am (UTC+8), and this would end around 11 am (UTC+8).

This game is now using a shortened schedule that Travelers might be familiar with from the past few updates. That means each update tends to last for 42 days now. Version 3.3 began on December 7, 2022, and 42 days later would be January 18, 2023.

Knowing the aforementioned times would mean the following for Genshin Impact 3.4:

  • Release date: January 18, 2023
  • Maintenance start time: 6:00 am (UTC+8)
  • Maintenance end time: 11:00 am (UTC+8)

Note: The date and time is speculation based on logical deductions.

  • Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time: 12 pm - 5 pm
  • Alaska Standard Time: 1 pm - 6 pm
  • Pacific Standard Time: 2 pm - 7 pm
  • Mountain Standard Time: 3 pm - 8 pm
