Genshin Impact 5.0 and the release of the new Natlan region are due later today, August 27, for much of the world. New Hydro 5-star Mualani will kick off the regional expansion with her debut banner, which is scheduled to drop at approximately 8pm PT / 11pm ET / 4am BT depending on maintenance downtime.
Developer HoYoverse warns that "in version 5.0, to optimize the update installation speed after pre-downloading on hard disk drives, the required space for PC pre-download is relatively large, and is approximately 26 - 38 GB (with the resource package occupying 16 - 23 GB)." You can already pre-install today's hefty download to prepare for the patch, though you'll still have to jump through a few hoops on startup.
