What time does Genshin Impact version 'Luna 4' (6.3) release?

Genshin Impact's "Luna 4" (or 6.3) patch is coming soon, continuing the story in Nod-Krai and adding some highly-anticipated characters to the playable roster.

Below, we explain when Genshin Impact maintenance starts and ends, alongside the release time of version "Luna 4." We’ve also added some details about what to expect from Genshin Impact patch 6.3.

What time does Genshin Impact go down for maintenance?

Genshin Impact will go down for maintenance on Tuesday, Jan. 13 or Wednesday, Jan. 14 (depending on your time zone) at the following times and will be unavailable for approximately five hours:

• 2 p.m. PST on Tuesday, Jan. 13 for the west coast of North America
• 5 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Jan. 13 for the east coast of North America
• 7 p.m. BRT on Tuesday, Jan. 13 for Brazil
• 10 p.m. GMT on Tuesday, Jan. 13 for the U.K.
• 11 p.m. CET on Tuesday, Jan. 13 for western Europe
• 7 a.m. JST on Wednesday, Jan. 14 for Japan
• 9 a.m. AEDT on Wednesday, Jan. 14 for the east coast of Australia

Make sure to burn your resin before maintenance starts, if you want to, but remember that the new battle pass will start when the game comes back from maintenance, so you may want to hold on to some to do your weeklies.

What time does Genshin Impact version 'Luna 4' start?

Genshin Impact should come back from maintenance with the "Luna 4" version at the following times:

• 7 p.m. PST on Tuesday, Jan. 13 for the west coast of North America
• 10 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Jan. 13 for the east coast of North America
• 12 a.m. BRT on Wednesday, Jan. 14 for Brazil
• 3 a.m. GMT on Wednesday, Jan. 14 for the U.K.
• 4 a.m. CET on Wednesday, Jan. 14 for western Europe
• 12 p.m. JST on Wednesday, Jan. 14 for Japan
• 2 p.m. AEDT on Wednesday, Jan. 14 for the east coast of Australia

The servers may come up early or late, depending on how maintenance goes, but these are the approximate times "Luna 4" should go live. Usually Hoyoverse is pretty good by abiding by maintenance times. We don’t usually get extended maintenance, but it does end early sometimes!

What’s new in Genshin Impact version 'Luna 4?'

As expected, there'll be more Archon Quests in Nod-Krai, as well as the addition of playable characters Columbina, Zibai, and Illuga. Version "Luna 4" will also bring back Lantern Rite, so we'll be revisiting Liyue to ring in the new year. Yaoyao is also getting a skin you can unlock by participating in the Lantern Rite event. If you like Neuvillette, he's also getting a skin, though you'll have to pay for it if you want to use it.
