3 p.m. PDT on Tuesday, Oct. 21 — west coast of North America
6 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, Oct. 21 — east coast of North America
7 p.m. BRT on Tuesday, Oct. 21 — Brazil

Before maintenance, consider using your resin if you plan to, because the new battle pass activates when the patch goes live. Also, the schedule gives you time to plan around weekly activities.

What’s new in Genshin Impact version ‘Luna 2’?

This update continues the Nod Krai story path. In addition, the patch trailer highlighted the Dendro catalyst character Nefer, and showed Varka in footage — however, Varka is not playable in this version.

Furthermore, there will be a Sumeru-themed event that includes exploration of ruins and a free copy of the four-star character Collei available through event rewards.

Finally, the patch brings the long-awaited Miliastra Wonderland. This mode lets players design custom characters and build user-created stages, then play mini-games with friends on those stages.
