Summary
- A Genshin Impact leak suggests the location of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, expected to be introduced in Version 6.0.
- Snezhnaya may include Nod-Krai as an autonomous province and a crucial trade hub.
- HoYoverse appears to be dividing Snezhnaya into multiple regions due to its vast size, with future updates planned for expansion.
Recent leaks from Genshin Impact's beta servers have shed light on the potential locations of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, both anticipated to be featured in Version 6.0. While the current focus remains on Natlan, the developers have begun integrating placeholders for Snezhnaya, the eagerly awaited Cryo Nation ruled by the Tsaritsa. Snezhnaya is poised to be the largest region in Teyvat yet, sprawling from Natlan to the west and encompassing the entirety of Fontaine to the north.
Previous leaks hinted that Nod-Krai might be a standalone region in Version 6.0, but recent datamining efforts have solidified its position within Snezhnaya. As an autonomous province, Nod-Krai acts as a vital trade hub, linking Snezhnaya with the rest of Teyvat. According to Liben, Nod-Krai is situated at the southernmost tip of Snezhnaya, suggesting that the Traveler and Paimon will likely access this province via either Fontaine or Natlan.
Leakflow, Extra, and footage from The_Strifemaster reveal that the latest beta build for Version 5.4 includes a placeholder landmass directly beneath the western waterfalls of Fontaine. This landmass appears to connect to Mont Esus, which has been speculated to be a potential expansion area for Fontaine. Although this does not confirm Mont Esus' release timeline, all signs point towards the introduction of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai in the near future.
Genshin Impact: What is Nod-Krai?
Nod-Krai is a dual region and city located on Snezhnaya's southern border. Governed to some extent by the Voynich Guild, it is notorious for its lawlessness. The Fatui have established a stronghold here, under the command of Dottore, one of the most renowned Fatui Harbingers. Nasha Town, a prominent settlement within Nod-Krai, is home to inhabitants who possess powers that predate the seven Elements of Teyvat.
The decision to segment Snezhnaya into multiple parts may spark debate, but given its immense size, it is impractical to fully develop and narrate within a single year. With the Archon Quest in Natlan concluding in Version 5.3, subsequent updates are expected to gradually pave the way for Snezhnaya. While the fate of Capitano remains unclear, Natlan will introduce Skirk as a playable character, linked to one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. Barring any delays, Version 6.0 is slated for release on September 10, 2025.
