Genshin Impact Version 7.0: Everwinter Without Mercy is estimated to end around September 23, 2026, based on its 42-day season cadence (verified August 13, 2026). Version 7.0: Everwinter Without Mercy opens Snezhnaya, the seventh nation of Teyvat and the Fatui homeland ruled by the Cryo Archon, with train-connected settlements and the capital Snezhnograd. It is the anniversary-window release, and HoYoverse skipped a transitional 6.8 patch to get there. The update adds the Eye of Graeae, a third-person-shooter layer with three elemental firearms, the Stellar Swirl reaction, and Snezhnaya's first characters: Odette, a 5-star Cryo sword unit, and Alyosha, a 4-star Electro polearm user. HoYoverse posts a version's end only in the maintenance notice for the next one, but Genshin has held an exact 42-day cycle for five consecutive versions, so the countdown above projects from that cadence until the 7.1 notice appears.
Genshin Impact Version 7.0: Everwinter Without Mercy launched August 12, 2026 at 03:00 UTC (11:00 AM UTC+8), opening the long-awaited nation of Snezhnaya. HoYoverse has not yet posted a formal end-date maintenance notice for 7.0, but Genshin's update cycle has held to an exact 42-day cadence for the last several versions, which places the close at roughly September 23, 2026 — the countdown above locks to the official timestamp the moment it is announced.
Version 7.0 is the game's anniversary-window release: HoYoverse skipped the transitional 6.8 patch to jump straight from Luna VIII into Snezhnaya, so this update opens the seventh and long-teased Fatui homeland rather than a minor interim patch.
Recent versions have run on an exact 42-day cycle: Version 6.7: Luna VIII (July 1 – August 12, 2026), Version 6.6: Luna VII (May 20 – July 1, 2026), and Version 6.5: Luna VI (April 8 – May 20, 2026) — each ran exactly 42 days.
Because the cadence has held for five consecutive versions, the end of Version 7.0 and the start of the following update can be projected roughly six weeks out even before HoYoverse's official patch announcement.
Version 7.0 opens Snezhnaya, the seventh nation of Teyvat — a wintry, industrial homeland of the Fatui with train-connected settlements and the capital city of Snezhnograd. It introduces the Eye of Graeae, a third-person-shooter layer with three elemental firearms and weapon attachments found across the region, plus the new Stellar Swirl reaction.
The banner line-up debuts Snezhnaya's first characters: Odette, a 5-star Cryo sword DPS, and Alyosha, a 4-star Electro polearm user, arriving alongside the anniversary rewards that traditionally accompany a milestone Genshin version.
