Genshin Impact 5.8 maintenance schedule, server downtime details and what to expect
Genshin Impact's much-awaited update, Version 5.8, is upcoming. With HoYoverse having announced the global maintenance and server downtime, players can now brace for that temporary shutdown of services before indulging in their newest content as it usually happens with major patches.
From a new Electro character to Archon quests, here's all the information you'll need before the servers go dark and, of course, what awaits you once the servers are back.
Maintenance Schedule: Global Timings
The maintenance for Version 5.8 is set to begin on July 30, 2025, at 6:00 AM (UTC+8), half an hour longer from 11:00 AM (UTC+8) at which time the servers will go live. While the maintenance period is standardized worldwide, time shown on-site will depend upon the region you are in. Here's an arrangement by servers:
North American Servers (UTC-5):
July 29, 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM
European Servers (UTC+1):
July 30, 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM
Asian Servers (UTC+8):
July 30, 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM
New Content Highlights: What's Coming in Version 5.8
The 5.8 update doesn't just address backend maintenance, it will be filled with new content to keep the world of Teyvat alive and moving.
▪
New Character: Ineffa:
One of the most awaited additions has been Ineffa, an Electro character for the playable roster. Her debut banner will go live as soon as the update concludes, so that players are able to insert a high-powered new element wielder into their teams.
▪ Archon Quest: "The Journey Home"
: A new Archon Quest granting new stories, world-building, and perhaps further revelation to Genshin's all-encompassing lore awaits after maintenance: "The Journey Home".
▪ Limited-Time Events and Map Changes:
Although HoYoverse has kept the specifics a little vague, there have been signs suggesting limited-time events inside the game and map changes or additions to some current areas; it stays to be seen whether there shall be new areas awaiting exploration or new challenges bringing rewards to complete.
▪ New Weapons and Artifacts:
With Version 5.8, new weapons also come into play.
It makes sense for them to be aimed at complementing Ineffa's skill set, alongside new artifact sets that will probably shake up meta strategies.

Phase Durations and Update Cycle
On the usual order, the two-phase structure will unfold over several weeks:
Phase 1 duration:
About 16 days
Phase 2 duration
: About 22 days (varies by server)
While it's the temporary shut down of the server that may feel like an interruption, the return brings forth exciting new stories, characters, and gameplay mechanics. Whether you are in it for the lore or to bring together the strongest of parties, Genshin 5.8 is shaping up to be a great landmark in the ever-growing universe. So, get your Resin charged, clear your commissions, and start preparing because Ineffa and "The Journey Home" are just around the corner.

WWE Summer Slam 2025 Kickoff Show: Date, Timing, Venue, How to Watch and More
Cody Rhodes (Image Source: Getty) WWE SummerSlam 2025 is the 38th annual event, which is not only a normal wrestling card, but also a two-night run of their top stars. We expect the show's official Kickoff pre‑show to begin on Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, shortly after midnight, giving fans one last chance to listen to the Superstars before the whole thing goes down on Friday night, August 1. Held for the first time as a two-night attraction, the weekend spectacle is set to happen at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. What day and time will the Kickoff Show take place The Kickoff Show is the preshow on a traditional WWE level that takes place on the promotion's official YouTube channel, which allows final promos, interviews, and analysis to hit the fans before the main card blows open. It is expected to stream live on the evening of Friday, August 1 (at around 10 pm BST), which would be Friday evening across most of the U.S. time zones. WWE has not officially announced the exact times for the entire world, but the Kickoff is usually held about one hour before the main card, acting as the appetizer for the weekend event.

This state-of-the-art stadium can host an average of approximately 82,500 fans a night. The Kickoff Show will be free on WWE's digital platforms, while the main two-night premium live event will stream live exclusively on Peacock for viewers in the United States. And Netflix will telecast the same in more than 30 countries. It is a big transition year in WWE broadcasting for the company as they are growing their streaming audiences worldwide. The two-night SummerSlam for 2025 is a landmark idea in terms of WWE event planning. It's more or less following the double-header format to allow the WWE to explore the big matches, title shots, and, of course, fan favorites. It all kicks off with the Kickoff Show on Friday, August 1, amping up the action ahead of Night 1 on Saturday and Night 2 on Sunday.
