Genshin Impact is a live service game that obtains updates every six weeks, thereby allowing players to look forward to a consistent schedule. But mitigating circumstances might result in the delay of the upcoming version on Genshin Impact, with so many rumours as well as speculations spreading about forthcoming updates getting delayed because of the ongoing pandemic.
Fans initially found that a travelling merchant event will take place from May 6 to May 13, after the Leyline event, which will double the total number of rewards that you will get from Leyline challenges. But this Leyline event was original and will be the final event of Version 2.6.
In addition, this leak also implies that HoYo verse is making a strategy for a re-run banner of Arataki ltto and Xiao as a banner to surge the gap between the versions 2.6 and 2.7. This can also explain why Battle pass experience needs were diminished in the game version 2.7 beta test, as players will have less time for completing the pass because of delay.
Leakers and the players identically reasoned this delay because of the pandemic in Shanghai, China, where Hoyo Verse headquarters is present. But till now, no official news has come from the company about delays, so keep in mind for taking these rumours with a grain of salt.
