HoYoverse revealed a big news in the newest web event - Snezhnaya's border fortress Nod-Krai will be officially opened in version 6.0. This strategic location in the southwest corner of the ice and snow country may cause a drastic shock to the power structure of Teyvat continent.
Although HoYoverse has just ended the story of Natlan region, many fans are already looking forward to how this popular game will develop next. Among the major countries in Teyvat continent, only Snezhnaya has not been explored, so many players are curious about this country.
However, recent rumors indicate that players may not visit the main body of Snezhnaya in version 6.0, but will first reach Snezhnayan city-state of Nod-Krai.
Nod-Krai
According to the clues disclosed in the event, Nod-Krai not only carries the key mission of unlocking the complete map of Snezhnaya, but will also become a new battlefield for the three major factions of Knights of Favonius, Treasure Hoarders and Fatui. What interests me most is that the elite troops under the command of Grand Master Varka of Knights of Favonius, who I have heard about in the main storyline, were seen frequently active in the area. This may confirm the prediction of the return of the expeditionary force in the early leaked intelligence.
The island of Hiisi, which was exposed for the first time on the map, is particularly eye-catching: as the base of Frostmoon Scions, this island surrounded by permafrost glaciers presents an architectural style that is very different from the main city of Snezhnaya. It can be found that there are a large number of interactive ancient frost organs in the area, suggesting that players may need to master new elemental reaction mechanisms to explore in depth.
Fatui
The most exciting information for old players this time is that Fatui executive Il Dottore has confirmed his return to the main storyline. From the event CG, we can see that this crazy scientist is building a giant facility called Project Permafrost on Hiisi Island, where dozens of unknown biological specimens are frozen. Some players speculate that a new device has appeared on Dottore's mechanical right arm, which may be related to God-killing weapon plan leaked by Court of Fontaine earlier.
At the same time, the official appearance of the mysterious organization Voynich Guild adds more variables to the plot. This organization, which has been mentioned many times in NPC dialogues, is actually a shadow group that controls Teyvat black market intelligence network. It is the strongest force of Nod-Krai and is located at the southernmost end of Snezhnaya. Players can accumulate Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals in advance now to enhance their strength and meet new challenges.
New Characters
Although the current version is still focused on Natlan, HoYoverse has begun to pave the way for Snezhnaya chapter. The new character Escoffier, who has been confirmed to debut in version 5.6, is a foreshadowing. This famous chef from Fontaine area, formerly the chef of Hotel Debord, currently works for Steambird News.
In addition, she can eliminate the enemy's water and ice resistance. This means that Escoffier's team composition may focus on triggering Frozen elemental reaction.
When asked whether Nod-Krai means that Snezhnaya chapter will be opened early, HoYoverse responded that they are always looking for the best balance between narrative rhythm and player experience. This answer makes players more convinced that version 6.0 will bring greater surprises. After all, on the territory of Teyvat continent, it is not surprising that any miracle will happen.
