Genshin Impact 5.2 livestream: start times and where to watch

Catch a sneak peak at what’s coming in Genshin Impact
HoYoverse

HoYoverse is about to unveil the “Tapestry of Spirit and Flame” – otherwise known as Genshin Impact update 5.2 – on November 8, 2024.

As is tradition, a streamed special program will do the honors and introduce the content of the upcoming version. Although there is a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to the voice actors’ strike, this broadcast will once again have to do without any VAs from the game. Two members of the Genshin Impact localization team will present all the new additions instead.

Find the Genshin Impact 5.2 livestream start times and where to watch below.

Genshin Impact 5.2 livestream: what to expect

Natlan’s main story will be taking a short breather in version 5.2 and find its conclusion during the 5.3 update, but that doesn’t mean that the upcoming patch won’t have any story content to offer – for example, there’s a good chance that we’ll learn a good deal more about Chasca and Ororon, the character duo joining the roster.

HoYoverse is also bringing another wave of quality-of-life improvements to the game with 5.2, such as an auto-lock and favorite feature for artifacts, a quick-swap function for the treasure compass, adjustments to the Serenitea Pot, and much more.

Finally, the special program is guaranteed to drop some Genshin Impact promo codes for free Primogems and other useful resources.
