Genshin Expansion Unveils Ethereal Realm

Genshin Impact 6.0 Leaks Reveal Nasha Town and Nod-Krai Locations

Recent leaks from Genshin Impact's beta servers suggest the locations of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, both anticipated for Version 6.0. While the fiery Natlan region is still under development, beta builds are gradually introducing placeholders for the Cryo nation of Snezhnaya, the Tsaritsa's icy domain. Snezhnaya's immense size, potentially exceeding Sumeru and Liyue, extending west from Natlan and north around Fontaine, necessitates a regional division.

Early leaks suggested Nod-Krai as a separate region in Version 6.0. However, recent data mining strongly indicates its location as an autonomous Snezhnayan province, serving as a vital trade hub connecting the Cryo nation to the rest of Teyvat. Liben's statements place Nod-Krai in Snezhnaya's south, suggesting access via Fontaine or Natlan.

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

Nod-Krai: A Lawless Province

Nod-Krai is both a city and a region on Snezhnaya's southern border. Despite some order maintained by the Voynich Guild, 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 reportedly wield a power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.

Dividing Snezhnaya may be controversial, but its sheer size likely necessitates a multi-year release, both narratively and developmentally. 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 will introduce Skirk, a playable character linked to Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners. Barring delays, Version 6.0 is expected around September 10, 2025.
