The official Genshin Impact Twitch and YouTube channels will host the Version 7.1 livestream, titled 'A Rekviem for the Underworld,' on Saturday, September 12. The broadcast is scheduled to begin at 1 PM BST in the UK, which corresponds to 8 AM EDT on the US East Coast and 5 AM PDT on the West Coast. A 15-minute waiting period with special content will precede the official start time.
The livestream will continue the ongoing Snezhnaya storyline, with the title suggesting a darker turn for the narrative. Players can anticipate details regarding upcoming Banner schedules and events.
Two new characters have been revealed through social media drip marketing and are expected to feature prominently in Version 7.1. Vesna, a 5-star Anemo sword user, and Vodyanitsa, a 5-star Hydro catalyst user, are slated to appear. Both characters may have already been encountered by players through the current main storyline, given Vesna's ties to it and Vodyanitsa's association with Odette. Information on their signature weapons is also anticipated during the broadcast.
While details about the characters and content are based on drip marketing, official confirmation and further specifics on Version 7.1 Banners will be provided during the livestream. The current Version 7.0 Phase 2 features the return of characters Flins and Ineffa, and players are encouraged to collect Primogems for wishes and ensure their Adventure Rank is sufficient for upcoming events.
