Genshin Impactreceives a version update every six weeks like clockwork. Barringunusual circumstances, we should be able to predictGenshin’supdate schedule for 2024. Let’s see what that looks like.

Genshin Impact version update schedule

Each version is six weeks long, with updates happening on Wednesdays in China (usually Tuesday evenings for most Americans).

We don’t know how many 4.X patches there will be, but previous versions went up to 2.8 and 3.8 before rolling over to the next whole number. From this, we can speculate that the 4.X patches will also go up to 4.8, but things could turn out otherwise.

When is Natlan coming to Genshin Impact?

We can expect Natlan, the nation of Pyro, to be explorable in Version 5.0 ofGenshin Impact. We don’t know how many Fontaine patches there will be, so the exact date for when Version 5.0 will drop is up in the air. If there are exactly eight Fontaine patches, then we can expect Natlan onAugust 28, 2024. If not, though, I would still predict Natlan to debut sometime in thelate summer or early fall.

Either way, we’ve still got several Fontaine patches to enjoy before Natlan arrives. It looks likeXianyun and Gamingwill be the first new characters to come toGenshinin 2024, with many more on the way. I wish everyone good luck with theirpullsin the new year and a very happy Lantern Rite!
