Released

19 pages of coverage — every claim sourced, unconfirmed things labelled as such.

Where Genshin stands on 4 September 2026. Version 7.0 "Everwinter Without Mercy" opened Snezhnaya on 12 August at 11:00 UTC+8, with 600 Primogems of maintenance compensation and two new artifact sets. The questions players are still asking three weeks in are budget ones — whether the new five-star works at C0 without her intended partner, and which of the two artifact sets is worth farming first — and both have their own guide on this hub, written from the CN theorycrafting consensus with the numbers attached: Odette teams with and without Sandrone and the new artifact sets. Version 7.1 is not announced: the 7.1 page derives 23 September from HoYoverse's six-week cadence, says so plainly, and will switch to the official date the day the special program is dated. That distinction — announced versus derived — is the whole point of this hub. Every countdown carries the source it rests on, livestream codes are listed with their expiry, and the Primogem budget pages are recalculated each version rather than copied forward. Start with the 7.0 page if you are returning after a break, and the 7.1 countdown if you are saving for the next banners.
