Prominent Genshin Impact leaker Full Stop Chan has reported that Snezhnaya would be coming in version 7.0. The leak also suggests that the Nod-Krai region should be introduced in the 6.0 update. Nod-Krai was mentioned in the game's recent Liben event and confirmed as a city in southern Snezhnaya where people from all over Teyvat congregate. According to Genshin Impact lore, Nod-Krai has a harsh atmosphere due to the lack of regulatory authorities other than the Voynich Guild.

Previously Genshin Impact leaks about Snezhnaya's location reported that the Cryo Nation directly borders Natlan, so there is a possibility that the rumors referred to the city of Nod-Krai.
