Fresh leaks from Genshin Impact suggest an exciting new addition to the Natlan region, potentially offering players their first glimpse of the upcoming Nod-Krai territory. With Version 5.8 scheduled for July 30 and Version 6.0 arriving September 10, the game's community is buzzing with anticipation about these developments.

The leaks, shared by reputable source Miruko, indicate a small but significant expansion to Natlan's map. This update will reportedly introduce a coastal area featuring a pier and port, with special significance coming from a Nod-Krai vessel docked there. This maritime addition strongly hints at how travelers might transition to the new region when it launches.

This isn't the first time HoYoverse has used map expansions to foreshadow new regions. Previous updates saw similar transitional areas added to Sumeru before both Fontaine and Natlan's releases. The Chasm served as this type of precursor before Sumeru's full launch, establishing a pattern that continues with this Natlan expansion.

Nod-Krai represents a particularly exciting development as it will mark players' first explorable section of Snezhnaya, located near Natlan's southwestern border. Leaks suggest multiple factions will be involved in the area's storyline, including familiar groups like the Knights of Favonius and Fatui, alongside the Treasure Hoarders.

The summer months promise to be eventful for Genshin Impact fans. Version 5.8 will likely feature the annual summer event, while August 20's Special Program livestream is expected to fully reveal Nod-Krai's features. This date coincides with Gamescom 2025, where HoYoverse may showcase more about this highly anticipated region.
