What is the Genshin Impact update 1.1 release date?

The update will arrive on November 11. The game will be offline for a few hours while the update is rolled out. According to the developers this process will begin “at 2020/11/11 06:00:00(UTC+8) and will take about 5 hours”.

How to Update Game

  • PC: Close the game, re-open the launcher, and click Update.
  • iOS: Go to the App Store and tap Update.
  • Android: Open the game and follow the prompts to complete the update. (Or go to the Google Play Store and tap Update.)
  • PS4: Highlight Genshin Impact on the PS4 Home Screen > press the OPTIONS button > select Check for Update.

Free Primogems

The developers plan to give away 60 free Primogems for every hour that the game is offline, so that is currently set at 300 free Primogems, but only to players above Adventure Rank 5.

New Content in Update 1.1

Original Resin Increase

There is expected to be an increase in how much Original Resin you can hold at one time, from 120 to 160.

Buffs and Nerfs

One of the bigger rumors is around buffs and nerfs for certain characters. Diluc, Venti, and Fischl will be getting nerfs, while Mona, Keqing, and Beidou are rumored to be getting buffs. Exactly what these entail is not known just yet. 

New Characters

There are reported to be four new characters on the way. Zhongli is a 5 Star Geo users armed with a polearm, Child is a spear-wielding 5 Star Water elemental user, Xinyan is a 4 Star Pyro user, and Dionna is 4 Star a Cryo user. You can also look forward to a new city being added to the game in the form of Inazuma.

Oculi Compass

The update will apparently include an Oculi Compass that will help you track down those Anemoculus and Geoculus that you are missing, which would be a superb addition to the game, in our opinion.

New Weapons

Apparently, we will be getting new 4 Star Claymores and Spears, which is good news for Razor lovers.

That’s all we have for now, but we will keep this article updated regularly as new rumors and news break.
