An insider reports that miHoYo plans to start testing update 2.8 for Genshin Impact on schedule - May 18th. Meanwhile, despite the announced date, the release of the previous patch 2.7 is not yet planned, as the developers do not have time to complete all the work on time.
Recall that earlier in Genshin Impact, the mechanics of the Kettle of Serenity broke down, which is why the new event is being held with limited functionality. The team of authors promised to solve the problem as soon as possible and launch new mechanics.
By the way, the difficulties with the development of updates for Genshin Impact are observed against the background of the fact that the miHoYo team was forced to go home again due to the coronavirus restrictions imposed by the Chinese authorities.
