Genshin Impact is expected to release its first Fontaine update on August 16, 2023, at 11 am (UTC+8).

The maintenance is scheduled to begin on August 16, 2023, at 6 am (UTC+8) and is estimated to last five hours. During this period, all servers will be offline, and players will not be able to log in to the game. Hence, it is advised to consume Resin and complete unfinished quests beforehand.
