Recent leaks from Genshin Impact's beta servers suggest the locations of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, slated for release in Version 6.0. With Natlan's development nearing completion, attention shifts to Snezhnaya, the Cryo Nation ruled by the Tsaritsa. Snezhnaya's immense size, surpassing even Sumeru and Liyue, necessitates a regional division, hinting at phased releases across multiple updates.
Initial leaks suggested Nod-Krai as a standalone region in Version 6.0. However, recent datamining confirms its position as an autonomous province within Snezhnaya, acting as a vital trade hub connecting the Cryo Nation to the rest of Teyvat. Liben's accounts place Nod-Krai in Snezhnaya's southernmost reaches, suggesting access via Fontaine or Natlan.
Leakflow, Extra, and footage from The_Strifemaster reveal a placeholder landmass in the Version 5.4 beta build, situated beneath Fontaine's western waterfalls. This landmass's connection to Mont Esus, a rumored Fontaine expansion area, further strengthens the link to Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, although it doesn't confirm a simultaneous release.
Exploring Nod-Krai:
Nod-Krai is both a region and a city, situated on Snezhnaya's southern borders. While the Voynich Guild maintains a degree of order, the province is known for its lawlessness. A significant Fatui stronghold, led by the popular Harbinger Dottore, operates within Nod-Krai. Nasha Town is a key settlement within this province, and its inhabitants possess an ancient power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.
Dividing Snezhnaya into multiple releases, while potentially controversial, is a practical solution given its scale. Completing such a vast region within a single year presents significant narrative and development challenges. With Natlan's Archon Quest concluding in Version 5.3, subsequent updates will gradually introduce Snezhnaya. While Capitano's fate remains unknown, Skirk, a character linked to Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners, is set to debut in Natlan. Barring unforeseen delays, Version 6.0 is anticipated to launch on September 10, 2025.
