As part of its marketing campaign for Nod-Krai, Genshin Impact players have a chance to obtain 320 Primogems by sharing their expectations about the upcoming region. The Natlan era is coming to an end with Version 5.8, as Genshin Impact has set the stage for Song of the Welkin Moon, the next chapter of Teyvat's story. It will take the Traveler and Paimon to the borderlands of Snezhnaya, an autonomous archipelago called Nod-Krai. Version 6.0 will introduce Hiisi Island, Lempo Isle, and Paha Isle, but players can expect to see more in future updates.
From a gameplay standpoint, Version 6.0 will also continue to expand on Lunar Reactions by marking the debut of Flins and Lauma. Whereas Flins will be a Lunar-Charged hypercarry with a focus on Normal Attacks, Lauma will be a support character in Genshin Impact designed around Lunar-Bloom. Curiously, the new update will also introduce the first Nod-Krai character without a Lunar Reaction, as Aino will be a 4-Star Hydro Claymore that exclusively buffs Lunar Reactions, rather than providing them herself.

Thanks to recent datamining, Genshin Impact players can get a valuable overview of upcoming Nod-Krai characters all the way to Columbina's release.
Genshin Impact Players Can Enter for a Chance to Win 320 Primogems Until August 29
Genshin Impact players of any platform or region can enter the latest giveaway on Reddit by leaving a comment with the following: their expectations of Nod-Krai and their UID. The giveaway lasts until August 29, 2025. It will grant 320 Primogems to 200 randomly chosen winners. For those who do not have a Reddit account, other eligible social media platforms include Facebook, Instagram, Naver Café, and Telegram, but players will need to include the hashtag #ToNodKrai. The reward of 320 Primogems in Genshin Impact can only be claimed once per account, and the winners will be announced on September 9, 2025.
Despite the overall excitement for Nod-Krai, some Genshin Impact players have critiqued HoYoverse for how it has handled giveaways and promotional codes during the marketing campaign for Song of the Welkin Moon. Rather controversially, the 30 Primogems from Gamescom were severely limited, with stock running out within hours of the announcement. Version 6.0 is expected to feature a stacked lineup of 5-Stars – with Nahida, Yelan, Lauma, and Flins in Genshin Impact all garnering no small amount of interest. As such, every single Primogem counts.
The upcoming content cycle for Genshin Impact promises to be ambitious in its vision – from changes to its endgame, to announcing a whole new sandbox module that will run on user-generated content. While expectations were initially low when HoYoverse announced that Snezhnaya would effectively be split into two parts, the community has since completely gotten on board with the team's direction for Nod-Krai in Genshin Impact. The new region is set to launch on September 10, 2025.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
