Snezhnaya could expand into Genshin Impact 5.1, as seen in new leaks about the future update. Currently, HoYoverse’s action RPG is in the midst of version 5.0, the big patch that introduced the region of Natlan and all the related content, including new archon quests, game mechanics, saurians and enemies. Of course, the new Natlan actors in Genshin Impact 5.0 are also very significant releases, as they also bring new gameplay mechanics to the battlefield. However, eyes are already shifting to version 5.1 because its beta tests are already happening.
According to allegedly leaked information provided by an uncredited source, which was shared in a post on Reddit, A new Snezhnaya location called Nordekalle will be mentioned at some point during the version 5.1 content. The leak features transcribed and translated text of some NPCs speaking. One mentions hiring a group to protect them while they travel to Nordekall, while the other seemingly gives them advice on how to behave in Nordekall – a trading route is also mentioned, hinting that these lines may be related to Lieben’s rumored return in Genshin Impact 5.1.
Rumored Snezhnaya location in Genshin Impact 5.1 is called Nordekalle
There are already two confirmed locations of the Cryo Nation
The lines do not seem directly linked but, instead, connected while skipping some pieces of dialogue. The leaked transcripts mention that Nordekale is a place located at the southern tip of SnezhnayaWhat the rumored NPCs say gathers people from across the globe. There are also insinuations that Nordekall is a more neutral place compared to others, as the NPC allegedly mentions that they heard about a tense situation and finally opts to go to Nordekall, for example. Other than that, this is all that is known about Nordekalle in Genshin Impact for now.
This is the third major Snezhnaya location that has been mentioned in the game so far. As highlighted by Genshin Impact Fandom, One of the first Snezhnaya locations ever mentioned has been known since the game’s release in 2020. This is because it was revealed during the prologue quests in Mandstadt. The Zapoliarni Palace is the place from which the Krio Archon, also known as the Tsaritsa, rules the nation and its Fatui faction. The second known Snezhnaya place is called Morepesok, the seaside village where Child’s family is in Genshin Impact Is.
There aren’t many details about the two already confirmed locations other than what has already been revealed by the game. However, the list could expand if the version 5.1 leaks about Nordekalle in Snezhnaya are true. Currently, the game is in its final land of Taivat before SnezhnayaSo it makes sense if more key points of the Nation of Krio begin to be mentioned as the title moves closer to the release of the location. Of course, the release of Snezhnaya should happen only in the summer of 2025, but teasers like the one mentioned in the version 5.1 leak fit well.

As convenient as it may seem to believe this information, the version 5.1 leak should be considered with caution. The rumors may be false, subject to change, or poorly translated. The next update should be a big patch, apparently bringing back love and some worldly curiosities, as well as the release of Xilonen in Genshin Impact 5.1.
