HoYoverse usually releases new content in the game after an interval of 42 days. Every new patch is further divided into two different phases where the character and weapon banner rests.

Yelan

The delay rumors mainly circulated due to the event schedule of Marvelous Merchandise event, a new event that has replaced the Spices from the West event due to the delay in Serenitea Pot maintenance. This event displayed the end date to be 13th May that is 3 days after the end of Ayaka rerun banner.

Another reason for the delay could be the strict lockdown imposed upon Shanghai in China which is the hub of game development for major gaming companies such as Tencent and HoYoverse. Putting rest to these rumors, Kotaku has stated that Jingtong Zhu, a publishing manager at a Chinese gaming company, told the website that “gaming is not currently being impacted as much as other industries.”

However, this fact cannot be denied that the stringent lockdown has taken a toll on samaritans as procuring food supplies has become a difficult task lately. Regretting this Covid-19 induced lockdown, it is important to note here that Genshin Impact developers are continuing with the Genshin Impact 2.7 update content so that it could be released on May 11, the scheduled date.
