Genshin Impact Version 6.0: Unveiling Nasha Town and Nod-Krai
Recent leaks from Genshin Impact's beta servers suggest the locations of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, both anticipated for Version 6.0. With Natlan's storyline nearing completion, development shifts towards Snezhnaya, the Cryo Nation ruled by the Tsaritsa. Snezhnaya's immense size, potentially exceeding Sumeru and Liyue, necessitates a regional division, hinting at phased releases across multiple updates.
Initial leaks indicated 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 descriptions 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 the Version 5.4 beta, situated beneath Fontaine's western waterfalls. This landmass intriguingly connects to Mont Esus, a previously rumored Fontaine expansion. While this doesn't confirm Mont Esus's release timeline, the connection strengthens the likelihood of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai's introduction in Version 6.0.
Exploring Nod-Krai: A Lawless Province
Nod-Krai is a region and city situated on Snezhnaya's southern border. Despite the Voynich Guild's attempts at maintaining 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 within this province, and its inhabitants reportedly possess power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.
Dividing Snezhnaya into multiple parts might be controversial, but its scale likely necessitates a multi-year release, both narratively and developmentally. Following Natlan's Archon Quest conclusion in Version 5.3, subsequent updates will gradually build anticipation for Snezhnaya. While Capitano's fate remains unknown, Natlan introduces Skirk, a playable character linked to Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners. Barring unforeseen delays, Version 6.0 is slated for a September 10, 2025, launch.
