The Genshin Impact 3.6 livestream is expected to occur sometime between late March and early April 2023. More precisely, there are three logical release dates, which are: March 31, 2023; April 1, 2023; and April 2, 2023. On one of these days, the livestream will happen. The reason behind this expectation is that past Special Programs have historically occurred ten to 12 days before their associated Version Updates were launched.

When it comes to its release time, the Genshin Impact 3.6 livestream should air at 8:00 pm (UTC+8) based on past precedence. Several chunks of the upcoming content have already been leaked, which means some of them will inevitably appear in the Special Program.

Just for reference, here are the number of days between a Special Program and Version Updates since Version 3.0:

  • 3.5: 12
  • 3.4: 12
  • 3.3: 12
  • 3.2: 10
  • 3.1: 12
  • 3.0: 11

Clearly, readers can see that there is a pattern of ten to 12 days being the norm. If players look at more examples, they will find the same trend. However, Travelers need to figure out when the next update is expected to launch.

Version 3.5 began on March 1, 2023. It usually takes 42 days on average for a new update to launch. If you add 42 days to March 1, 2023, you will get April 12, 2023. That means one can expect Version 3.6 to launch around April 12, 2023.

No changes in the aforementioned dates mean one can subtract ten to 12 days from April 12, 2023, to get the expected Genshin Impact 3.6 livestream dates:

  • March 31, 2023
  • April 1, 2023
  • April 2, 2023

Remember that Daylight Savings has occurred in many countries worldwide. Use a time converter if you're unsure when 8 pm (UTC+8) — which is when the livestream is expected to air — is in your time zone.

Some things are pretty easy to predict based on the leaks (not to mention how Special Programs are usually structured):

  • Three Redeem Codes that expire in one day but add up to 300 Primogems if used
  • Footage showing off Baizhu and Kaveh's gameplay
  • Information on rerun banners
  • Jadefall's Splendor is a new five-star Catalyst weapon
  • Nymph's Dream and Vourukasha's Glow are new artifact sets
  • The new main event of the update involves a free Candace
  • Some new enemies (like the upcoming weekly boss)
  • Baizhu and Nahida Story Quest
  • New events like Fulminating Sandstorm, Brewing Developments, and The Recolletor's Path

The Genshin Impact 3.6 livestream is expected to feature all of the above in some capacity and more content for Travelers to enjoy. Players who miss the original Twitch broadcast can always find a replay of everything on YouTube in case they desire to watch the whole Special Program.

Remember that content revealed in leaks is subject to change before being officially unveiled to the public. HoYoverse is expected to announce the Genshin Impact 3.6 livestream date soon.
