As expected from the Genshin Impact 2.6 Special Program, a release date for the update appeared. Though as usual, people keeping up with the banners probably had an idea of when it will show up. Zephyr of the Violet Garden will launch on March 30, 2022. As expected, it will bring Ayato to the game as a playable character. It will also mean the debut of the Chasm area in Liyue.

In the meantime, there are still multiple events and banners going on in Genshin Impact. For example, the rerun banners for Raiden Shogun and Kokomi are both available until March 29, 2022. The Three Realms Gateway Offering event tasks people with exploring Enkanomiya in Inazuma too. That will end on March 30, 2022 before the Genshin Impact 2.6 release date update.
There are also a few smaller events running in 2.5. The Of Drink-a-Dreaming casual event lets you mix drinks for both major characters and NPCs until March 21, 2022. People can take part in Hyakunin Ikki and Overflowing Mastery until March 28, 2022.
Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the 2.6 release date is March 30, 2022.
