Genshin Impact usually conducts drip marketing for upcoming characters two days before the release of a new update. This trend is backed by the recent drip marketing release dates:

• Number of days between version 4.8 update and 5.0 drip marketing: 2 days
• Number of days between version 4.7 update and 4.8 drip marketing: 2 days
• Number of days between version 4.6 update and 4.7 drip marketing: 2 days

• Number of days between version 4.4 update and 4.5 drip marketing: 2 days
• Number of days between version 4.3 update and 4.4 drip marketing: 2 days

Version 5.0 is expected to go live on August 28, 2024, if we consider HoYoverse's 42-day release pattern for each update. Therefore, the 5.1 drip marketing can be expected on August 26, 2024. It is also highly likely that HoYoverse will announce the 5.1 drip marketing at 6 PM (UTC+8) as previous drip marketings were released during this time.
