Summary
- Genshin Impact Version 5.7 might focus on the Nod-Krai region instead of Snezhnaya.

- Fans anticipate the arrival of Skirk and Dainsleif, expecting more Abyss Order insights.
A new leak for Genshin Impact Version 5.7 has revealed exciting news for fans of the famous Pyro nation, which was the last major region added to the game. Genshin Impact's main continent, known as Teyvat, is divided into seven major regions, six of which have already been introduced in the game.
So far, Genshin Impact has followed a pattern of adding one major region per year, suggesting that all seven regions could be unlocked by the end of 2025. However, recent official announcements and credible leaks hint that instead of the full Snezhnaya region, the next major update will primarily focus on a smaller area called Nod-Krai.
Genshin Impact Leak Explains New 5.7 Game Mode
A new Genshin Impact leak reveals more information about a permanent game mode that might arrive in the upcoming Version 5.7.
Genshin Impact fans can explore the game through many different storylines that often intertwine. However, the main narrative is always centered around special questlines known as Archon Quests. A credible leaker named homdgcat has revealed that the next update’s Archon Quest will most likely focus on the Traveler and Natlan. According to the leak, the current beta labels the quest as Archon Chapter V: Act VI - Traveler (Natlan). Many fans suspect that the new quest will be closely tied to a new Genshin Impact character named Skirk, who has been all but confirmed by HoYoverse to arrive in the next update. While Genshin Impact has yet to officially introduce this character, recent beta leaks confirm that she will appear in the upcoming version.
Genshin Impact Leak Hints at Natlan Story Developments
Skirk has been one of the most anticipated characters in the game's community since her appearance back in Genshin Impact Version 4.2. The official storyline confirms that Skirk has strong ties to the Abyss and is expected to be one of the most skillful fighters in all of Teyvat. She was also a mentor to Tartaglia, the five-star Hydro user and a member of Genshin Impact's notorious group known as the Fatui Harbingers.
Many fans also hope that this update will feature Dainsleif, another legendary character who occasionally appears in Genshin Impact. Dainsleif has his own connection to the Abyss Order, having once served as the captain of the Royal Guard of Khaenri’ah. Some fans speculate that the new update may also provide insights into the whereabouts of the Traveler’s sibling.
Overall, fans seem pleased with how Genshin Impact is building toward the conclusion of the Natlan arc and the introduction of the Nod-Krai region. One of the recent trailers teased the arrival of another legendary character: the Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, who has been mentioned multiple times, especially throughout Genshin Impact's Mondstadt storyline.
