The official announcement comes hours after fans spotted on Genshin Impact Facebook page that the developers replied in the comments of a recently released web event that special program for the next update has been postponed. This postponement implied that the update will also be delayed. Players have also deduced that the project progress perhaps refers to the developers not being able to finish the content due to the strict lockdown in Shanghai, China.

When will the update arrive?
