Genshin Impact 6.0: Nod-Krai Region, New Characters & Story Teaser Breakdown

Genshin Impact has just released an official teaser for its long-anticipated Version 6.0, offering the first in-depth look at the upcoming region Nod-Krai and a host of new characters. After months of hints and cryptic trailers, fans finally have a clearer picture of what lies ahead in this story-rich update.

Welcome to Nod-Krai: A Harsh, Mysterious Frontier

Nod-Krai is a wild and untamed territory located in the southern reaches of Snezhnaya. Known for its treacherous environment and lack of safety, the region attracts adventurers, fortune seekers, and shady figures alike. Locals refer to it as a place of opportunity — a “dreamland” for the daring — though few return with their dreams intact.

Key landmarks include:

• Nasha Town – a bustling outpost
• A strange and unusual craft shop
• The Frostmoon Scions – a mysterious cult that worships a lunar deity

The Fatui, led by Il Dottore, have also established a base in Nod-Krai. The teaser suggests that multiple Harbingers will be active in the storyline, including the appearance of Wanderer. The Abyss Order is also present, along with a new enemy faction: the Wild Hunt, who are said to be even deadlier than anything seen before.

New Characters Coming in Version 6.0

Completely New Faces

The teaser showcased four never-before-seen characters:

• Aino
• Jahoda
• Nefer
• Lauma

These new additions have already caught fans' attention with their striking designs, and their roles in the story remain a mystery — for now.

Familiar Legends Finally Playable

• Alice – One of the founding members of the Hexenzirkel, and Klee’s mother.
• Nicole Reeyn – Another Hexenzirkel member, long theorized by the community.
• Sandrone & Columbina – Members of the Fatui Harbingers, both previously teased in earlier trailers.

This section of the cast has long been anticipated and adds major weight to the lore of Snezhnaya and Teyvat as a whole.

Lore Icons Join the Fight

• Flins – A completely new name with no prior mentions. Intriguing!
• Varka – The long-absent Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, away on an expedition.
• Durin – A creature from Dragonspine’s history, once a failed experiment by Rhinedottir.

These male characters bring long-awaited depth and tie-ins to Mondstadt’s past and Snezhnaya’s secrets.

A Lore-Filled Update Fans Have Been Waiting For

From mysterious cults and Fatui politics to long-teased legends finally becoming playable, Version 6.0 is shaping up to be a monumental chapter in Genshin Impact’s story. The trailer hints at deeper conflicts with the Abyss, possible betrayals, and long-awaited answers to questions that have haunted the game since its earliest arcs.

If you’re a lore lover or character collector, this is the update to watch.
