6.0 Update Leaks Hint at New Genshin Impact Zone

Genshin Impact Version 6.0 Leaks: Nasha Town and Nod-Krai Locations Revealed?

Recent leaks from Genshin Impact's beta servers suggest the locations of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, both anticipated for Version 6.0. While development on Natlan continues, beta builds are gradually incorporating placeholders for Snezhnaya, the Cryo Nation ruled by the Tsaritsa. Snezhnaya's immense size, potentially surpassing Sumeru and Liyue, spanning west from Natlan and encircling Fontaine to the north, necessitates a regional division, hinting at phased releases.

Early leaks suggested Nod-Krai as a separate region in Version 6.0. However, recent datamining strongly indicates its precise location. As an autonomous province, Nod-Krai serves as a vital trade hub connecting Snezhnaya to the rest of Teyvat. Liben's information places Nod-Krai in Snezhnaya's south, suggesting access via Fontaine or Natlan.

Leakflow, Extra, and footage from The_Strifemaster in the Version 5.4 beta reveal a placeholder landmass beneath Fontaine's western waterfalls. This landmass's connection to Mont Esus, a rumored Fontaine expansion, further strengthens the link to Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, though it doesn't confirm Mont Esus's release timeline.

Nod-Krai: A Lawless Province

Nod-Krai is both a region and a city situated on Snezhnaya's southern border. Despite some order maintained by the Voynich Guild, it's known for its lawlessness. A significant Fatui stronghold, led by the popular Harbinger Dottore, operates within Nod-Krai. Nasha Town is a key settlement in this province, and its inhabitants possess a power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.

Dividing Snezhnaya might prove controversial, but its scale likely necessitates a multi-year release, considering narrative and development complexities. With Natlan's Archon Quest concluding in Version 5.3, subsequent updates will likely build anticipation for Snezhnaya. While Capitano's fate remains unclear, Natlan introduces Skirk, a playable character linked to Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners. Barring delays, Version 6.0 is slated for a September 10, 2025 launch.
