Official Genshin Impact tweet reveals 3.0 livestream date and time

The above-linked tweet is an official announcement for the 3.0 Special Program made on the game's official Twitter channel. Based on the notice, the 3.0 Special Program has finally been scheduled to premiere on August 13, 2022 (Saturday) at 08:00 am (UTC-4).

This is a change of pace for the developers as they usually host livestreams on Fridays. However, Ghost Festival also falls on August 12, which is considered an ominous day in Chinese culture. Hence, officials may have decided to shift the 3.0 livestream date to avoid any unnecessary and superstitious rumors.

Fans can watch the Special Program premiere live on the game's official Twitch and Bilibili channels. Players can hop into the Twitch channel for the English version and Bilibili for the Chinese version of the 3.0 Special Program.

Fans who cannot watch the livestream premiere can also watch the re-broadcast of the 3.0 livestream on Genshin's official YouTube channel. The YouTube channel will replay the English version on August 13, 2022, at 12:00 pm (UTC-4), approximately four hours after the livestream premiere ends.
