In case you somehow missed it, there has been some speculation online that the next update for Genshin Impact, Version 2.7, could be delayed. While developer miHoYo — with a global branding of HoYoverse — has not yet officially announced when Version 2.7 might release, the typical amount of time between installments would put it somewhere in the middle of May. Between an event mysteriously going missing from the announced preview of events in Genshin Impact Version 2.6 and recent problems with COVID-19 in China, where the developer is based, the rumors circulating claim that the new update might miss that timeframe. While the rumors have seemingly not been addressed publicly by the developer, a spokesperson for the game did respond to a request for comment from ComicBook.com.
