Genshin Impact update 5.7: release time and maintenance details

It’s time for lore galore in Genshin Impact 5.7, an update that will see the return of Dainsleif and the Abyss Sibling — and that promises a feast for story enjoyers.

Additionally, the version releasing on June 18, 2025, will bring about the debut of Skirk and Dahlia on the Genshin Impact 5.7 banners. The new 5-Star character has lore implications of her own in tow, as an animated short focused on her backstory has already proven by casually showing Teyvat from space. Suffice to say, the new patch will have more of that.

Usually, HoYoverse doesn’t need any more time than the allotted five hours of downtime to get all that done, so here’s when Genshin Impact update 5.7 should be available in your timezone according to schedule:

• June 17, 2025, 8pm PDT
• June 17, 2025, 10pm CDT
• June 17, 2025, 11pm EDT

• June 18, 2025, 1pm AEST

Each hour of downtime will be compensated with 60 Primogems, so you can expect a total of 300 Primogems to be coming your way. In the unlikely case of technical issues, HoYoverse is generally adding to that compensation to apologize for the inconvenience. Don’t forget to claim this gift in the 30 days following the update, as the message containing the freebies will delete itself after that deadline.
