Hence, it makes perfect sense for the 2.7 Livestream to occur on May 20 or later.Lumie@lumie_lumie(Questionable)2.7 is delayed by 3 weeks.During this time please remember to be respectful as Hoyoverse have no control over real life events.300033957(Questionable)2.7 is delayed by 3 weeks.During this time please remember to be respectful as Hoyoverse have no control over real life events.If Lumie's prediction is correct, version 2.7 should be released on June 1, 2022. Ideally, this would have been the release date of the second half of version 2.7, which was expected to bring in Arataki Itto's rerun banner with Kuki Shinobu.Will Genshin Impact shorten version 2.7?During the 2.7 beta testing, HoYoverse reduced the EXP amount required to increase the Battle Pass level from 1000 to 600. Beta testers and players assumed that this was to incorporate a shortened version of the Battle Pass in patch 2.7 that travelers will be able to complete in just three weeks.Project Celestia@projectcelestia[2.7 BETA] Battle PassThis change was reverted in today's update.※ Subject to change.#ProjectCelestia twitter.com/projectcelesti…Project Celestia@projectcelestia[2.7 BETA] Battle PassThe EXP (aka BEP) requirement for each BP Level has been reduced from 1000 to 600.

The developers will discuss the new release dates, a new date for the Livestream, and compensation.
