Genshin Impactwill soon launch Version 5.3and with it will come the final chapter of the Natlan Archon Quest, called “Incandescent Ode of Resurrection.” HoYoverse had previously revealed this title in 2020 through the Teyvat promotional trailer. In the same video, it was teased that after Natlan would come the mysterious Nation of Snezhnaya. PerGenshin Impact’s tradition of releasing a new Nation with every new patch cycle, fans have long speculated that the Cryo Nation would debut in Version 6.0. However, a new leak about Snezhnaya’s launch may have disappointing news for players.
ProminentGenshin ImpactleakerFull Stop Chan has reportedthat Snezhnaya would arrive in Version 7.0. The leak also suggests that the region of Nod-Krai should be introduced in the 6.0 update. Nod-Krai was mentioned in the game’s latest Liben event and was confirmed as a city in the south of Snezhnaya where people from all of Teyvat gather. According toGenshin Impactlore, Nod-Krai has a harsh atmosphere due to the lack of regulative authorities aside from the Voynich Guild. It is worth mentioning that, during the Version 5.3 official livestream, developer HoYoverse confirmed that Nod-Krai will be added to the RPG sometime in 2025. EarlierGenshin Impactleaks about Snezhnaya’s locationreported that the Cryo Nation directly borders Natlan, so there is a possibility that the rumors referred to the city of Nod-Krai.
