The official date and time of the Genshin Impact 3.0 livestream has finally been revealed, to the delight of players around the world.

Based on a post on Genshin Impact's official Twitter account, the special program for version 3.0 will premiere on the game's Twitch channel on August 13 at 08:00 AM (UTC-4).

Following the trend of previous livestreams, this special program may air for 30-40 minutes and will feature a few voice actors as special guests. During the livestream, three new redemption codes will be dropped at a set interval. Juicy details about Sumeru, the upcoming region in version 3.0, are also expected to be released.
