The gates of Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya are set to open on September 10, 2025.

Genshin Impact may have something special in store for players on April 30, 2025, as a recent leak points towards a livestream taking place on the same day as the final Song of the Welkin Moon reveal. Following the conclusion of Natlan’s storyline in Version 5.3, Genshin Impact has slowly been setting the stage for the next chapter of its story. Version 5.6 will take players back to Mondstadt, kicking off a sequence of events that may lead the Traveler and Paimon to Nod-Krai and Varka.

While Varka will only have a voice appearance in Version 5.6, the grizzled Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius is known to be in Nod-Krai with the rest of his expedition. Genshin Impact has teased Nod-Krai as the next region of Teyvat, effectively splitting Snezhnaya into two major chapters. To prepare players for their long journey to Zapolyarny Palace, HoYoverse released the Song of the Welkin Moon, a web event that gradually revealed details about Nod-Krai and the eleven factions that will decide its fate.

Genshin Impact Confirms Exciting Info About Varka

Genshin Impact’s Special Program event reveals new information about one of the game’s most anticipated characters, Varka.

The last reveal in the Song of the Welkin Moon is scheduled for April 30, 2025, but according to hxg_diluc, a Genshin Impact livestream will also take place on TikTok for its Chinese community. This strongly implies that something major will debut on April 30, and the most logical guess is that the web event has been leading up to a teaser trailer for Nod-Krai and Version 6.0. While major trailers are usually reserved for July, it should be noted that Natlan in Genshin Impact was officially revealed with a brief teaser on May 24, 2024.

Genshin Impact: What to Expect in Nod-Krai

Nod-Krai appears to have a lot of key players, as the southern province of Snezhnaya will feature the Hexenzirkel, Knights of Favonius, Fatui, and even the Abyss. It implies that many narratives will converge in Nod-Krai, potentially setting the stage for the Traveler’s long-awaited confrontation with the Tsaritsa. Genshin Impact players can expect to cross paths with the Hexenzirkel when they return to Mondstadt in Version 5.6, but should otherwise save their expectations for Version 6.0.

While it may be too ambitious to reveal some of the Nod-Krai cast, it’s safe to assume that players will likely get a glimpse of Nod-Krai and its wintry wilderness, potentially highlighting its main exploration mechanic. For Fontaine, this was underwater diving, and for Natlan, it was the Saurians. Players should also keep an eye out for Skirk in Genshin Impact, a character with ties to Khaenri’ah and the Abyss, who is set to become playable in Version 5.7. As for the gates of Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya, they will only open on September 10, 2025.
