Summary
A recentGenshin Impactleak from the beta servers potentially pinpoints the location of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, with both expected to debut in Version 6.0. While Natlan is still underway inGenshin Impact, recent beta builds have slowly started to add placeholders for Snezhnaya, the long-awaited Nation of Cryo, and the icy realm of the Tsaritsa. Unlike previous regions of Teyvat, Snezhnaya is expected to eclipse even Sumeru and Liyue in size, stretching from Natlan to the west, and encircling the entirety of Fontaine to the north.
While previous leaks pointed towards Nod-Krai being its ownseparate region inGenshin ImpactVersion 6.0, recent datamining efforts all but confirm its exact location. As an autonomous province of Snezhnaya, Nod-Krai connects the Cryo Nation with the rest of Teyvat by serving as a trade hub. According to Liben, Nod-Krai is the southernmost part of Snezhnaya, and it’s likely that the Traveler and Paimon will enter the province via Fontaine or Natlan.
According to Leakflow and Extra, and the footage shared by The_Strifemaster, the latest beta build for Version 5.4 has added a placeholder landmass directly underneath Fontaine’s western waterfalls. Notably, it would seem that this landmass connects to Mont Esus, which was long rumored to be apotential Fontaine map expansion inGenshin Impact. While it does not imply that Mont Esus will be released before or during Version 6.0, all roads seem to lead to Nasha Town and Nod-Krai.
Genshin Impact: What is Nod-Krai?
Nod-Krai is both a region and a city located on the southern borders of Snezhnaya. While some semblance of order is upheld by the Voynich Guild, Nod-Krai has earned its reputation as a lawless province. A stronghold of the Fatui operates out of Nod-Krai, led by Dottore, one of the most popularFatui Harbingers inGenshin Impact. Nasha Town is a notable settlement located in the province, and the people of Nod-Krai are said to wield a power that predates the seven Elements of Teyvat.
While splitting up Snezhnaya into two parts could end up being a controversial decision, Snezhnaya is likely too big of a region to be completed in one year, both from a narrative and development standpoint. With Version 5.3 wrapping up the Archon Quest in Natlan, players can expect the subsequent patches to slowly set the stage forSnezhnaya inGenshin Impact. While Capitano’s fate remains uncertain, Natlan is set to debut Skirk as a playable character, who herself has ties to one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri’ah. Assuming no delays, Version 6.0 is expected to launch on Jun 21, 2025.
