When will Genshin Impact servers come online for the 3.2 patch?

Genshin Impact servers will be brought down for maintenance to ensure smooth sailing of the 3.2 patch. Alongside the new Archon Quest, players will get Nahida and Yoimiya as featured 5-star characters in the first phase.

HoYoverse will be keeping their servers off for five hours before the update. As of November 2, 2022, the update's release date, the removal of players will be initiated at 6:00 am (UTC +8), and all servers will be off until 11:00 am (UTC +8). However, the company will compensate players with 600 Primogems after the update goes live.

This article lists the server uptime in all significant regions with different time zones and everything players can expect with the new update.

Genshin Impact 3.2 release time for all regions based on local timezones (November 1 and 2)

Genshin Impact 3.2 will feature one of the most-awaited characters in the game, called Nahida. She is the current Dendro Archon and can serve as a great support with her skills and passives.

Thankfully, HoYoverse has allowed players to stock up on enough Primogems with new locations, world quests, and achievements in previous updates.

Obtaining the gacha currency won't stop there, as the company will provide everyone with 600 Primogems via in-game email, equivalent to three free pulls. However, before anything falls into place, everyone must wait five hours for HoYoverse to do the needful.
