Recent leaks from Genshin Impact's beta servers suggest the locations of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, both slated for Version 6.0. With Natlan's development nearing completion, the focus 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.
Early leaks indicated Nod-Krai as a standalone region in Version 6.0. However, recent datamining confirms its placement as an autonomous province within Snezhnaya, acting as a crucial trade link to the rest of Teyvat. Liben's information places Nod-Krai in Snezhnaya's southernmost area, suggesting access via Fontaine or Natlan.
Leakflow, Extra, and footage from The_Strifemaster reveal a placeholder landmass in the Version 5.4 beta, situated beneath Fontaine's western waterfalls. This landmass intriguingly connects to Mont Esus, a previously rumored Fontaine expansion. While the timing of Mont Esus's release remains unclear, this connection strongly points towards Nasha Town and Nod-Krai's location.
Nod-Krai is a region and city situated on Snezhnaya's southern border. Despite the Voynich Guild's attempts at order, it's known for its lawless nature. A significant Fatui stronghold, led by the popular Harbinger Dottore, operates within Nod-Krai. Nasha Town is a key settlement in the province, and its inhabitants possess an ancient power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.
Dividing Snezhnaya into multiple parts might prove controversial, but its sheer size necessitates a multi-year release strategy. With Natlan's Archon Quest concluding in Version 5.3, subsequent updates will gradually introduce Snezhnaya. While Capitano's fate remains uncertain, 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.
