Following aninitial leak, miHoYo has officially revealed its plans for theGenshin Impact Version 2.0livestream, which will fully introduce Inazuma, reveal the Ayaka, Yoimiya banners release dates, new Archon Quests, and Events.
Inazuma is the third region of Teyvat - the world ofGenshin Impact- that the Traveler will go to in their quest to find the Unknown God. miHoYo has been teasing Inazuma ever since the open-world JRPG’s worldwide release on July 24, 2025. Most notably in aninterview with DualShockers.
Genshin Impact 2.0- Where to watch the live stream, start time
TheJuly 9, 2.0livestream will be held first on the officialGenshin ImpactTwitch, at 8 AM EST / 5 AM PST.Here’s a tablewith other time zones.Click herefor a countdown to the stream’s start.
Four hours later, the stream will also be broadcast on theGenshin ImpactYouTube channel. At 12 AM EST.
Liu Wei, co-founder of miHoYo, will be hosting the Chinese version of the 2.0 stream. In the past, he has hosted all of the videos with huge announcements, most notably the one where thehousing, skins, and farming systemswere first teased.
Baal reveal, Yae and Sara - Predictions
First off, the teaser visual for the livestream revealed the Statue of the Seven design for the Electro Archon, also known as Baal, the God of Eternity, and the Raiden Shogun. She’s the leader of Inazuma. This is the first time we officially see her Statue. We’ll see it plenty of times as we explore Inazuma inGenshin Impact 2.0.
Keep in mind that similarly to how the Statues of the Seven in Mondstadt looks different than Venti, and how the Statues in Liyue looks different from John Lee, Shogun also looks different in-game.
Following the official reveal of the Electro Archon, we will also get introduction trailers for Kamisato Ayaka, Yoimiya, Sayu. We’ll also have a special gameplay trailer introducing the Traveler using their Electro Elemental Skill and Burst. That’s a given seeing how past streams went.
So here are my other predictions for theGenshin Impact 2.0livestream: Perhaps future Inazuma playable characters will make appearances as well. Especially those who similarly to Shogun will initially appear as NPCs, such asKujo Sara or Gorou.Guuji Yaeshould be coming back too after her teaser appearance in the 1.5 stream.
Lastly,keep in mind the stream will contain spoilersif you aren’t up to date yet and haven’t cleared all the Archon Quests currently available.
