A reliable source in Genshin Impact the community revealed a rough outline of the map expansions coming in the second half of Nod-Krai. This is no secret Genshin Impact went through a bit of a content drought in 2025 – only releasing a new zone in version 5.5, version 5.8 and version 6.0. In contrast, 2024 featured five map expansions across Fontaine and Natlan, while 2023 featured six across Sumer and Fontaine. Since the key pillars Genshin Impact were its characters and its open world, the lack of new zones was a notable theme in its community.
Natlan and Nod-Krai introduced some of the best map expansions Genshin Impactwith many players singing the praises of Ochkanatlan in particular. While Genshin Impact has maintained the quality of its open world content, quantity is something 2025 has struggled with. Neither 6.1 nor 6.2 will contain the map expansion, and players will have to wait until January 14, 2026 to take their Nod-Krai exploration further. However, according to a recent leak, this may change in the coming year.
Genshin Impact Leak Brings Bad News for Version 6.2
Genshin Impact seems to continue the unpopular trend in Nod-Krai that once started with Natlan, urging players to stick with their Primogems.
Genshin Impact can add map expansion in version 6.4 and version 6.5
The information comes from Full Stop Chan, one of the most reliable voices in the world Genshin Impact community and claims that version 6.4 will take players to Dornman Harbor, with version 6.5 introducing Hyperborea as a separate area on the map (much like Enkanomiya). Assuming this is true, it would mean that 2026 would begin with three map expansions in a row – as 6.3 is set to debut the city of Piramida and Lake Amsvartnir. Interestingly, the leak also mentions a future zone not yet tied to a specific update: Space of Asmoday. Since Asmoday is the missing member of the Four Shades in Genshin Impactit is highly likely that this zone will not come into play until the very end of Nod-Krai.
One thing to keep in mind is Libna's upcoming cameo Genshin Impact. Among other things, Liben has always teased upcoming content during his annual visits, and his datamined dialogue in version 6.2 mainly talks about Dornman Port. Most recently, Mondstadt received a map expansion in Genshin Impact during Dragonspine's 1.2 debut. Dornman Port could be a great opportunity for developers to modernize the game's oldest region, especially since Varka in Genshin Impact he is expected to make his game debut at the same time.
While Nod-Krai entered Genshin Impact Primarily focused on Lunar Reactions, version 6.2 introduced a gameplay feature unique to Mondstadt characters: the Hexerei Rite. When two Hexerei characters are on a team, they each receive a powerful bonus to their skill set – allowing older 5-star and 4-star players to remain competitive in the modern meta. With Varka, Alice, and Nicole expected to join the playable cast in 2026, Nod-Krai may indeed be setting the stage for a pivot to Mondstadt.
