Has Genshin Impact 7.2 released?
Yes. HoYoverse announced November 4, 2026 for Version 7.2, “Hour of Ruin,” and published the update details on that date. The App Store listing checked on November 4 also describes Version 7.2 as available. The release countdown has ended.
The official schedule gives the maintenance start and an estimated duration; it does not establish the precise minute every player regained access. We did not log in to verify the actual server reopening time.
Maintenance schedule and time zones
HoYoverse scheduled maintenance to begin November 4 at 06:00 UTC+8 and estimated five hours. Adding that estimate gives November 4 at 11:00 UTC+8, or 03:00 UTC, as an expected end—not a confirmed actual completion time.
The same expected end corresponds to November 3 at 22:00 in US Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5) and 19:00 in US Pacific Standard Time (UTC−8). The calendar date differs by time zone. Maintenance estimates can change.
Version 7.2 first-phase wish end time
HoYoverse’s English Phase I event wish notice lists the Mitya and Furina character wishes from after the Version 7.2 update through November 24, 2026 at 17:59. The weapon wish is listed for the same period in that notice.
The English notice shown does not specify a time zone, and the Japanese notice displays 18:59. Do not assume one clock time applies to every server: check the remaining time and Details on your own in-game Wish screen. This article does not run a live countdown or claim a next-version date.
What is in the update?
HoYoverse’s update notes name new Snezhnaya areas Novokitezhgrad and Wingspan Peak. The official notes also describe new story content and quality-of-life changes. Check the complete update details for requirements and the latest issue notices.
The published maintenance notice lists maintenance and issue-fix compensation for eligible accounts. Eligibility and claim deadlines are separate; consult the official update notice and your in-game mail rather than assuming every account receives a reward.
Release timing versus livestream codes
The update’s maintenance schedule is separate from the Special Program code redemption window. Nisu’s Genshin 7.2 codes guide covers the historical livestream codes and their published expiration.
A release-time countdown cannot extend an expired code or prove an individual account is eligible for compensation.
What was verified
This article compares HoYoverse’s November 4 release date and maintenance notice with the App Store’s available-version listing. The expected end is arithmetic based on the official estimate, not a measured server opening.
No gameplay, login, client update or compensation claim was tested. The cover is an original Nisu text graphic, not official game art.
