Genshin Impact 3.6 update is speculated to go live on April 12, 2023, at 11:00 (UTC+8). Players can consider this accurate as long as the game's current schedule continues without delay. It is customary for developers to shut down servers to perform update maintenance.

The update maintenance will usually begin before the new version upgrade and continue for around five hours. Players will be unable to access their accounts or log in to play Genshin Impact during this server outage. To make up for the inconvenience, complimentary Primogems are given out. These rewards can be obtained through the in-game mailbox. Once completed, the patch 3.6 update will be rolled out globally on all servers.


Expected character banner and reruns

Fans of Genshin Impact will be interested in the impending banners as well as the new patch's release date and time. HoYoverse has previously announced that Baizhu and Kaveh will make their 3.6 banner debuts. Recent leaks also second this information as they reveal gameplay footage and ascension materials of the new characters.

Sources also revealed character reruns that will appear in the upcoming patch 3.6 banners. Here are the speculated 5-star characters that will join Baizhu:

  • Nilou
  • Ganyu
  • Nahida

Tao, a prominent leaker in the Genshin Impact community, has shared the banner order. His recent leaks claim that Phase I of 3.6 banners will feature Nilou and Ganyu's rerun. Phase II will instead showcase Nahida's repeat and Baizhu's debut. When Ganyu received her third rerun before Eula, who hasn't been on the limited banners in over a year, many fans were startled.


Expected content for patch 3.6 update

A summary of some of the leaked information that Travelers might anticipate seeing in the next update is given in the tweet above. Travelers can now explore Waftgaol and the Panjvahe Debris as part of the future Deset expansion. A new weekly boss named Apep is also reported to debut in the new zone.

There are also tons of new events and story quests that will keep fans busy until the next update. Interested fans should look forward to the upcoming 3.6 Special Program to learn more about the upcoming content.
