Genshin Impact has officially announced that the 2.7 live stream has been postponed. The reason behind the delay hasn't been revealed yet, but the community is assuming it to be the COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai.

It will also provide travelers with more information about Bosacius, who is the strongest Yaksha. Here's everything players need to know about the delay of the 2.7 live stream.

In the comments section of their latest post, the developers confirmed that the Special Program for version 2.7 has been temporarily delayed.

The community's response towards the unusual announcement has been mixed. a majority of players understand that the situation in Shanghai is nowhere near normal at the moment and that the safety of the developers comes first.

On the other end of the spectrum, some travelers are looking forward to having free Primogems for the delay. This side of the community is undoubtedly alarming as players are prioritizing an in-game currency over the health of the developers.

It is safe to assume that an official post about the delay in version 2.7's Special Program will arrive shortly. The developers might announce a new date and time for the live stream in the post as well.
