Genshin Impact's newest leaks are teasing the expected new release date for the Version 4.2 Special Program, currently rumored to be airing on November 3. The newest update to HoYoverse's massively popular RPG is believed to be adding a plethora of new content to the game between new characters and new areas to explore. HoYoverse has already confirmed that Furina and Charlotte will join Genshin Impact's playable roster in Version 4.2, with a new expansion to Fontaine's map expected to arrive as well. Now, fans are getting a better idea about when the postponed livestream will air.
Originally intended to air on Friday, October 27, HoYoverse announced a delay for Genshin Impact's newest Special Program. While HoYoverse would not reveal a definitive reason for the broadcast's delay, many fans speculated that the postponed livestream was due to the death of a major public figure in China. The Genshin Impact developer is based in China, with past dilemmas like an outbreak of COVID-19 in Shanghai causing delays for the RPG's typical release cycle. Now, however, a new release date for the broadcast is being teased.
A recent leak shared to the Genshin Impact leaks subreddit is teasing the new expected release date for Genshin Impact's Version 4.2 Special Program. The post reveals the broadcast is now believed to be airing on Friday, November 3rd starting at 20:00 GMT+8, equating to 8 AM Eastern Time. The rumored air date for the broadcast would see the livestream airing just days before the expected launch of Genshin Impact's Version 4.2. HoYoverse has yet to give an official statement confirming the rumored release date.

Alongside the newly releasing characters, Genshin Impact's Version 4.2 is expected to welcome the return of several popular past characters as well. Genshin Impact's Version 4.3 is rumored to feature a trio of re-runs with both Raiden Shogun and Arataki Itto returning in Version 4.2. Genshin Impact's leaking community has been split about the third re-run slot, with some leaks saying Mondstadt alchemist Albedo will return while others have suggested Kamisato Ayaka's appearance. Genshin Impact's Version 4.2 update is currently expected to launch on November 8.
With the debut of the HoYoverse RPG's next patch on the horizon, many fans are already looking ahead to Genshin Impact's following update. Leaks have heavily suggested that Genshin Impact's Version 4.3 will introduce Navia to the game's roster, marking the first Geo character released to the RPG in nearly two years. New information has also suggested unrevealed character Chevreuse will debut within Version 4.3 as a Pyro Polearm user. The addition of new characters and new locations to explore looks to give Genshin Impact players plenty to do throughout the RPG's coming updates.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
