Genshin Impact Version 7.1 Brings Snezhnaya Story Chapters and Major Anniversary Rewards
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Genshin Impact version 7.1 arrives with new Snezhnaya story chapters, two playable characters, and major sixth-anniversary rewards, following a scheduled five-hour server maintenance window.
Genshin Impact is gearing up for its massive version 7.1 update, which pushes the ongoing narrative further into Snezhnaya while celebrating the game's sixth anniversary. As reported by Polygon, servers will head down for routine maintenance on September 22 or 23 depending on your region, with the standard five-hour downtime kicking off at 3 p.m. PDT on the west coast of North America and rolling out globally across time zones. Players should remember to manage their resin accordingly before the servers go dark, especially with a fresh battle pass cycle dropping alongside the new patch.
When the servers return online, players will dive into fresh content featuring two new playable additions to the roster. Vesna joins the lineup as an Anemo sword-user, while Vodyanitsa arrives as a Hydro catalyst-user. Hoyoverse is typically reliable with maintenance schedules, meaning the update usually deploys right on time or occasionally finishes a bit early.
Because version 7.1 doubles as the big anniversary milestone, the update brings serious incentives for active players and returning community members alike. You can log in to claim a generous pool of rewards, including two free five-star characters with one pulled from the standard banner and another chosen from a curated list of limited options. It is a solid reason to jump back in, catch up on the narrative, and stock up on resources for your team.
