According to the Nod-Krai Preview Teaser shown in the Version 5.7 Livestream, Nod-Krai is likely to arrive soon. This is similar to what happened in the Version 4.7 Livestream, where they announced the upcoming Natlan region and it later appeared in Version 5.0.

The Nod-Krai Livestream, Let's Start with Nod-Krai - Behind the Scenes of Genshin Impact, was aired on April 30, 2025. As they've confirmed Nod-Krai to release after Version 5.8, following the regular six-week interval, the new upcoming region is likely set to release on September 10, 2025.

This is also hinted in one of the redeem codes, NODKRAI0910, showing the same month and date at the end.

What is Nod-Krai?

Southernmost City in Snezhnaya

Genshin - Nod-Krai according to Liben
In the 5.1 Marvelous Merchandise event, Liben talked about the city of Nod-Krai, which is found south of Snezhnaya. He also described it as a place where ''people from all over Teyvat gather.''

Mavuika also described Nod-Krai as a land with a long history not far from Snezhnaya, near the end of the Chapter 5 Act 5 Archon Quest. In the Version 5.3 Livestream, it was described as an autonomous area in southern Snezhnaya.

Teased in the Song of the Welkin Moon

Song of the Welkin Moon Preview

Nod-Krai has been teased multiple times in the Song of the Welkin Moon Event, especially from the quotes from the Adventurer's Guild, Fatui, Voynich Guild, Frostmoon Scions, Lightkeepers, and Hexenzirkel.

Although the quotes from each faction may be different individually, they symbolize one thing in common, which is that all the people in Teyvat will eventually gather in Nod-Krai.

Ruled by the Voynich Guild

According to Liben, Nod-Krai operated by its own unique rules, with the Voynich Guild being the city's version of authority. The guild had helped Liben after he was robbed on the way to the city.
