Genshin ImpactVersion 2.1 Livestream content
Here’s what to expect on stream. First, we’ll hear which banner will come first between The Raiden Shogun or Sangonomiya Kokomi. According to data mined information from the Version 2.1 Beta Test, The Shogun will be first. But these things are always subject to change.
The 2.1 live stream should also reveal thefinal islandsof the Inazuma region, alongside new Archon Quests, new Weekly and World Bosses, and the fishing system. Several new Events will be introduced as well. A special trailer for Aloy fromHorizonshould also be revealed.
Last but not least, miHoYo should detail the 1st year anniversary plans ofGenshin Impacton this stream. We’ll also get the usual Primogems redeem codes.
MiHoYo partnering up with Twitch forGenshinshowcases
From release until Version 1.6, theGenshin ImpactEnglish live streams have all happened on YouTube. However, since 1.7/2.0 and the launch of Inazuma, it looks like Twitch and miHoYo joined hands for an exclusive contract. The 2.1 live stream will be released only a few hours later on YouTube.
Moreover, the fact that the English stream is happening simultaneously with theChinese stream on Bilibilimeans I and other translators don’t need to live translate anymore. (In my case, I’d do it from the Japanese official Twitter’s summary). In any case, stay tuned as we’ll cover all the juicy bits from the stream.
Genshin Impactis available on PC, PS4, PS5, iOS, and Android.A Nintendo Switch version is also in development.Genshin ImpactVersion 2.1 should launch on July 28, 2025.
