Looks like the next 3 Genshin Impact updates each will be 1 week shorter than usual. This is great news, as players would get more content almost a month earlier compared to the usual schedule. This is probably caused by the delay back in 2.6 with the infamous Ayaka banner - it is fairly understandable that HoYoverse is cutting updates down to catch up.
In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase a complete schedule for the next 3 Genshin Impact updates.
1. Genshin Impact Sumeru Update Roadmap
HoYoverse has officially confirmed the following release dates for the following Version Updates:
- Version 3.0: August 24, 2022
- Version 3.1: September 28, 2022
- Version 3.2: November 2, 2022
- Version 3.3: December 7, 2022
With 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 being shorter, version 3.3 will come back to the standard length of 42 days.
Due to the shorter duration, Battle Pass levels for 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 now only need 900 EXP instead of the usual 1000.
2. About Genshin Impact Sumeru banners
Nothing concrete was revealed about 3.1 and 3.2 yet, but detailed info for 3.0 is already out. The upcoming update on August 24 will bring out the new Sumeru region and the very first Dendro banner. Most of these banners were leaked early on, although it's worth noting that Kokomi was completely absent from those leaks.
Phase 1: Tighnari + Zhongli + Collei
Most readers should already be familiar with Zhongli, so it's worth briefly covering Tighnari and Collei. They are both Dendro bow users with kits focused on Dendro reactions. Tighnari is a Dendro main DPS while Collei is a Dendro Support.
With Collei being released for free during a 3.0 event and Tighnari being added to the permanent banner in 3.1, it might be a good idea to skip out on Phase 1. If you want to try out Dendro, just work on the free Collei and the Dendro Traveler.
Zhongli, while being a good character, has had a decent number of reruns and will likely come out more in the future.
Phase 2: Dori + Ganyu + Kokomi
Dori is another brand new character, and she's a 4-star Electro Claymore user who will appear on both Ganyu and Kokomi's reruns. She is overall an Electro Healer/Off-field support similar to Kuki Shinobu. If players already got Kuki, it is best to just skip Dori.
Ganyu and Kokomi are powerful characters and definitely worth pulling for, especially if players don't already have them. However, if players already have these two, it is best to just skip, as their constellations are not really that powerful. Save for later 5 stars in 3.1 and the Dendro archon in 3.2 instead.
Additionally, there is also plenty of other new content for players to look forward to, such as a new region, artifacts, monsters, events, and the continuation of the Archon Quest series.
