Genshin Impact Version 6.0: Unveiling Nasha Town and Nod-Krai
Recent leaks from Genshin Impact's beta servers strongly 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 progressively incorporating placeholders for Snezhnaya, the Cryo nation ruled by the Tsaritsa. Snezhnaya's immense scale, surpassing even Sumeru and Liyue, necessitates a regional division, likely spanning westward from Natlan and encircling Fontaine to the north.
Initial leaks suggested Nod-Krai as a separate region in Version 6.0. However, recent datamining confirms its placement as an autonomous province within Snezhnaya, acting as a vital trade hub connecting the Cryo nation to the rest of Teyvat. Liben's insights place Nod-Krai in Snezhnaya's southernmost reaches, 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 with Mont Esus, a previously rumored Fontaine expansion. While this doesn't confirm Mont Esus's release timeline, the evidence strongly points towards Nasha Town and Nod-Krai.
Exploring Nod-Krai: A Lawless Province
Nod-Krai serves as both a region and a city on Snezhnaya's southern border. Despite the Voynich Guild's attempt at maintaining order, 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 the province, and its inhabitants are rumored to possess power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.
Dividing Snezhnaya into multiple parts might be controversial, but its sheer size makes a single-year release improbable from both narrative and development perspectives. With Natlan's Archon Quest concluding in Version 5.3, subsequent updates will likely pave the way for Snezhnaya's introduction. While Capitano's fate remains unclear, Natlan will introduce Skirk, a playable character connected to Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners. Barring unforeseen delays, Version 6.0 is projected for a September 10, 2025 launch.
