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 is shifting towards Snezhnaya, the Cryo Nation ruled by the Tsaritsa. Snezhnaya's immense size, surpassing even Sumeru and Liyue, necessitates a phased release, likely spanning multiple updates.
Initial leaks suggested Nod-Krai as a separate region. However, recent datamining confirms its placement as an autonomous province within Snezhnaya, acting as a crucial trade hub connecting the Cryo Nation to the rest of Teyvat. Liben's clues 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 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 arrival in Version 6.0.
Exploring Nod-Krai: A Lawless Province
Nod-Krai is both a region and a city situated on Snezhnaya's southern borders. Despite the Voynich Guild's attempts at order, it maintains a reputation for lawlessness. A significant Fatui stronghold, led by the popular Harbinger Dottore, operates within Nod-Krai. Nasha Town is a key settlement within the province, and its inhabitants are rumored to possess power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.
Dividing Snezhnaya into multiple releases might be controversial, but its sheer scale makes a single-year release improbable from both narrative and development perspectives. Following Natlan's Archon Quest conclusion in Version 5.3, subsequent updates will likely lay the groundwork for Snezhnaya's introduction. While Capitano's fate remains unknown, Natlan will introduce Skirk, a playable character linked to Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners. Barring delays, Version 6.0 is projected for September 10, 2025.
