HoYoverse aired the Version 7.2 special program on October 23, 2026 and posted its official recap. Here is everything that was announced, from official sources only.
Release date
Version 7.2, "Hour of Ruin", launches on November 4, 2026. It brings a new Archon Quest, "Hour of Ruin", and a new Snezhnaya area, "Where Kristall Roots Run Deep".
