The Genshin Impact 2.7 update livestream has been "temporarily delayed", says the game's developer.

Announced in an unexpected way, miHoYo left a comment on its most recent post on the Genshin Impact Facebook page. The post featured three new web event wallpapers called "Journey With a Gentle Breeze" and in the comments, the developer said: "The Special Program for Version 2.7 has been Temporarily Delayed, we apologize for the issue."

At the moment all we have is this vague Facebook comment, so it’s unclear why it has been delayed and for how long for. It’s also not clear why miHoYo felt the need to share this pretty important news in the comments of a Facebook post and not on a public post or blog post. No need to worry though, as Genshin Impact fans have taken to the likes of Twitter to share the news with other fans who were eagerly awaiting the livestream.

Technically, as pointed out by multiple fans online, the Genshin Impact developer never actually announced an official date for the livestream and it was fans who assumed it would be taking place at the end of April. So it now makes a little more sense as to why miHoYo hasn’t put out a public post yet. The livestream was expected to take place on either April 28 or 29 and was expected to give a preview of the upcoming Genshin Impact 2.7 update. 

One thing you can count on appearing in the Genshin Impact 2.7 livestream, whenever it does happen, is the two new characters Yelan and Kuki Shinobu. At the end of last month, the new hydro and electro characters appeared in a teaser trailer but not a lot was revealed about the pair. Here’s hoping fans won’t have to wait too much longer to see Yelan and Kuki Shinobu when the livestream is rescheduled.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
