The world of Teyvat is about to expand once again as HoYoverse has officially hinted at a major showcase for Genshin Impact's upcoming Nod-Krai region during Gamescom 2025. As the Natlan chapter approaches its conclusion, players worldwide are eagerly anticipating this next phase of adventure in the autonomous Snezhnayan province that will serve as the primary setting for the Song of the Welkin Moon storyline.

Breaking from tradition, the developers have revealed that the Song of the Welkin Moon narrative will unfold across an entire year, representing the most ambitious Archon Quest structure to date. While Nod-Krai's full roster remains under wraps, players will get their first glimpse through Ineffa, who makes her playable debut in Version 5.8 on July 30.

The Gamescom 2025 presentation, scheduled for August 20-24, promises to deliver substantial reveals about this frost-laden territory. Historical patterns suggest we might see character trailers or teasers, potentially including the rumored Elecfro Male from the Lightkeepers and Geo Female from the Frostmoon Scions - two highly anticipated 5-star characters slated for Version 6.0.

Beyond the new region, speculation suggests HoYoverse might showcase Miliastra, an innovative UGC (User-Generated Content) game mode that will allow players to craft custom characters, design unique adventures, and share creations through private and public lobbies. This separate sandbox environment will feature its own gacha system while maintaining connectivity with the main Genshin Impact experience.
