Genshin Impact 7.1 Special Program Announced for September 12, 2026

Genshin Impact Version 7.1 is officially approaching, and HoYoverse has confirmed the date and time for the highly anticipated Version 7.1 Special Program. The livestream will premiere on the official Twitch and YouTube channels on September 12, 2026 at 08:00 AM UTC-4, giving Travelers their first major presentation of the upcoming update.

According to the official announcement, the Genshin Impact 7.1 livestream will feature details about new game content, upcoming developments and other information related to the next version. As with previous Special Programs, the broadcast is also expected to provide a closer look at upcoming characters, events and gameplay features while giving players important information before the update arrives.

One of the biggest reasons for the community to watch the Version 7.1 Special Program will be the new content connected to the game's ongoing Snezhnaya storyline. Version 7.1 has already generated significant attention among players following early information about characters such as Vodyanitsa and Vesna. The official livestream should provide a clearer picture of what HoYoverse has planned for the next phase of the game.

The broadcast will also include redemption codes, giving viewers another reason to tune in live. These codes traditionally provide valuable Primogems and other in-game rewards, although the exact rewards for the Version 7.1 Special Program have not yet been detailed in the announcement. Travelers should therefore be ready to redeem the codes as soon as they become available because livestream codes are generally available for a limited period.
