Travellers, the time has come – the Genshin Impact 3.5 release time is finally upon us. Developer HoYoverse has now revealed the exact time the hit ARPG will go into maintenance, heralding the new update – Windblume’s Breath.
Taking to Twitter to share the news, HoYoverse says the Genshin Impact 3.5 release time will be 19:00 PT / 22:00 ET on February 28, 2023, and 03:00 GMT on March 1, 2023. Maintenance is scheduled to begin at 14:00 PT / 17:00 ET / 22:00 GMT on February 28, and will last an “estimated” five hours.
The latest update is set to introduce two brand new Genshin Impact characters on the Genshin Impact 3.5 banners – Dehya and Mika. While theorycrafters haven’t been particularly positive about the odds of Dehya taking up a decent spot on the Genshin Impact tier list, we can only hope Flame-Mane gets the love she deserves as Zhongli did post-release.
Steering away from the doom and gloom, Windblume’s Breath has all sorts of goodies in store. There’s a new Archon Quest featuring Dainsleif, a Story Quest focusing on Dehya, and a new Faruzan Hangout Event on the way. Additionally, two new enemies – Abyss Herald: Frost Fall and Black Serpent Knight: Rockbreaker Ax – will soon be encountered by players.
