Genshin Impact players might witness something extraordinary on April 30, 2025, as recent leaks indicate a special livestream coinciding with the final Song of the Welkin Moon reveal. Following Natlan's climactic conclusion in Version 5.3, Genshin Impact has been subtly preparing players for the next grand adventure. Version 5.6 will bring travelers back to Mondstadt, initiating events that may ultimately lead to Nod-Krai and the long-awaited encounter with Varka.

While Varka will only make a vocal appearance in Version 5.6, the seasoned Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius is known to be leading his expedition in Nod-Krai. Genshin Impact has positioned Nod-Krai as Teyvat's next major region, effectively dividing Snezhnaya's narrative into two compelling chapters. To prepare adventurers for their journey toward Zapolyarny Palace, HoYoverse launched the Song of the Welkin Moon web event, gradually unveiling details about Nod-Krai and the eleven factions shaping its destiny.

The final Song of the Welkin Moon revelation is set for April 30, 2025, but according to hxg_diluc, a Genshin Impact livestream will simultaneously occur on TikTok for Chinese players. This strongly suggests a major announcement, likely a teaser trailer for Nod-Krai and Version 6.0. While significant trailers typically debut in July, remember that Natlan's Genshin Impact reveal occurred earlier on May 24, 2024.

Genshin Impact 6.0 Teaser: Nod-Krai Livestream & What to Expect

Nod-Krai emerges as a geopolitical hotspot where the Hexenzirkel, Knights of Favonius, Fatui, and even the Abyss Order will intersect. This convergence suggests multiple storylines will collide, potentially setting the stage for the Traveler's ultimate confrontation with the Tsaritsa. Genshin Impact players will first encounter the Hexenzirkel during their Mondstadt revisit in Version 5.6, but should reserve their greatest expectations for Version 6.0.

While full character reveals might be premature, players can likely expect breathtaking glimpses of Nod-Krai's frozen wilderness and its signature exploration mechanics - following Fontaine's underwater diving and Natlan's Saurian companions. Watch for Skirk in Genshin Impact, the mysterious Khaenri'ah-linked character slated for Version 5.7. The gates to Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya officially open on September 10, 2025.
