Genshin Impact: Premiere date for 3.5 livestream, leaked announcements, and more

Genshin Impact officials always premiere a Special Program for the upcoming version of the game. The purpose of the livestream is to officially announce the upcoming content planned for the community. All previous livestreams have the following two things in common:

• The Special Program is held 10-12 days before the new version release.
• The livestream premiere takes place on Fridays.

Assuming that either or both of the criteria have to be fulfilled, fans can speculate about the date of the developers' livestream. The new version 3.5 update is estimated to launch globally on March 1 or February 28, depending on the user's server.

Therefore, it can be estimated that the 3.5 Special Program will take place on February 16 or 17 at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). Interested fans can watch the premiere live on Genshin Impact's official Twitch channel. The livestream will be replayed on their official YouTube channel four hours after the Twitch stream ends.

Speculations and leaked announcements for Genshin Impact 3.5

The upcoming patch 3.5 update will bring new character debuts, reruns, and more. HoYoverse officials have already revealed that Dehya (5-star) and Mika (4-star) are set to debut in the game. While Dehya made several appearances during the Sumeru Archon quest, only those who participated in Mondstadt's recent Weinlesefest event (patch 3.1) have seen Mika in-game.

Furthermore, there have been leaks about a character showcase for the new characters. Dehya will be a Pyro Claymore user and have the potential to fill the role of a DPS or a tanker. Mika, on the other hand, will be a Cryo Polearm user who excels at healing and buffing party members.

Speaking of other banner characters, leaks have revealed three character reruns in the upcoming patch update. The following 5-stars have a high chance of returning to the Event-Wish banner according to speculations:

• Cyno
• Eula'
• Albedo
• Venti

The Genshin Impact 3.5 update will reportedly introduce new changes to majorly help the F2P and the low spenders. According to reliable sources, players will be rewarded with one Intertwined Fate for each Archon Quest they complete. Since the game has already released 22 Archon Quests between patch 1.0 to 3.4, fans can expect to receive 22 Intertwined Fates sent directly to their in-game mailbox.

Let us not forget that the upcoming livestream will also provide a small sneak peek of the new Archon Quest Interlude of patch 3.5. Leaks have confirmed that fans will meet Dainsleif and Kaeya in Sumeru. This will be the first time fans see Dainsleif interact with someone other than Aether, Lumine, or Paimon in Genshin Impact.
