The devs have not listed any set time during the day that version 3.0 will launch, but the game will be down for an extended time for server maintenance on August 24. If maintenance takes longer than expected, HoYoverse offers players free Primogems to compensate those who cannot log in.
Besides a new story chapter, version 3.0 also has many new features. It will feature a new region called Sumeru. This unique region consists of a vast rainforest filled with new enemies, treasures, and boss fights. For the first time, it will also feature Dendro, a nature-based element. In addition to these new features, new banner characters will be available. These new roster additions will make use of the new Dendro element.
Make sure to save your resources and Primogems, as these new characters will be great to use for Genshin Impact 3.0’s unique challenges.
