Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Snezhnaya's Location

by

Important takeaways

  • According to a leak, Snezhnaya in Genshin Impact is located in the northwest corner of Teyvat, on the border of Natlan and Fontaine.
  • New information reveals that Snezhnaya extends towards Mont Esus in Fontaine, potentially accessible via Hydro Nation.
  • Snezhnaya is expected to open in August 2025, giving players time to enjoy Natlan as version 5.3 prepares to finish its main story.



A reliable source i Genshin Impact society finally pinpoints the location of Snezhnaya, the Tsaritsa's long-awaited kingdom. While Genshin Impact started with just Mondstadt and Liyue, it has since grown to include the majority of Teyvat's assumed landmass. Inazuma took the Traveler to the easternmost point of the continent, while Natlan grew out the western edges of Teyvat.

Although the main appeal of Genshin Impact continues to be its colorful protagonist, there's no denying that HoYoverse has built an impressive open world over the years. Snezhnaya was always meant to be the last region added to the world map, but players still know very little about the Cryo Nation, despite years of build-up. It is the home of Fatui, one of the main antagonists in Genshin Impacts overall story, and is seemingly located north of Fontaine.

Genshin Impact is already set to kick off 2025 with a bang

Based on early sneak peeks, Genshin Impact's next update is already shaping up to be a major milestone, starting the new year strong.

Thanks to Uncle Teyvat, arguably the most reliable leaker when it comes to map leaks, Genshin Impact players finally have an answer to where Snezhnaya is located. To the surprise of many, the information from Uncle Teyvat reveals that Snezhnaya in Genshin Impact borders directly on Natlan, and extends across the map's north-west corner towards Mont Esus in Fontaine. Funnily enough, this matches perfectly with one of the oldest leaks from Genshin Impact – the placeholder map from the game's closed beta testing.


Where is Snezhnaya in Genshin Impact?

The latest satellite image of Teyvat includes an unfinished land mass across the northern sea of ​​Natlan directly bordering Mont Esus in Fontaine. Given the information provided by Uncle Teyvat, one can safely assume that the land mass is intended to be a placeholder for Snezhnaya itself. While the shape isn't set in stone (as seen with previous regions), it gives a strong idea of ​​what players can expect Snezhnaya to look like. Given its proximity to Fontaine i Genshin Impactit is possible for players to enter Snezhnaya via Hydro Nation. But above all, this is still the subject of speculation.


The known information points out that Snezhnaya is located in the northwestern corner of Teyvat, bordering Natlan to the south and Fontaine to the east. Thanks to Liben's events in version 5.1, Genshin Impact players also know that Nod-Krai is a city in Snezhnaya located near its southern borders and could potentially be where the traveler's adventure in Cryo Nation begins. Snezhnaya is expected to open its doors in August 2025, meaning punters still have plenty of time to enjoy Natlan's striking views, which Genshin Impact and version 5.3 prepares an exciting conclusion to the region's main story.
