Genshin Impact Version 6.0 Leaks: 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. While development on Natlan continues, beta builds are increasingly incorporating placeholders for 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 future updates. The region stretches westward from Natlan and encircles Fontaine to the north.
Previous speculation suggested Nod-Krai as a standalone region in Version 6.0. However, recent datamining strongly confirms its location as an autonomous Snezhnayan province, serving 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 player 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. Intriguingly, this landmass appears connected to Mont Esus, a rumored Fontaine expansion. While this doesn't confirm Mont Esus's release timeline, the evidence strongly points towards Nasha Town and Nod-Krai's inclusion in Version 6.0.
Nod-Krai: A Lawless Province
Nod-Krai is both a city and region situated on Snezhnaya's southern border. Despite some semblance of 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 within the province, and its inhabitants are rumored to possess power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.
Dividing Snezhnaya might prove controversial, but its sheer scale likely necessitates a multi-year release, both narratively and developmentally. With Natlan's Archon Quest concluding in Version 5.3, subsequent updates will likely lay the groundwork for Snezhnaya's introduction. While Capitano's fate remains unclear, Natlan will introduce Skirk, a playable character with ties to Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners. Barring unforeseen delays, Version 6.0 is slated for a September 10, 2025, launch.
