Genshin Impact Version 7.0 Takes Players to Snezhnaya in August
HoYoverse announced that its Version 7.0 update for free-to-play action RPG Genshin Impact will arrive on August 12, 2026. The update, titled “Everwinter Without Mercy”, will take players to the new region of Snezhnaya, the seventh nation of the continent of Teyvat. Known as the Nation of Cryo, Snezhnaya makes use of Kresnik energy for warmth and is connected by an extensive train system. The new Archon Quest sees players learn about a catastrophic blizzard, which is causing an energy crisis, and the forces behind it.
In Snezhnaya, players will receive a new tool called the Eye of Graeae. The goggles will allow players to call for trains, fabricate Prime Ice Constructs that can be used for puzzle solving and interacting with other players, and participate in a new third-person shooter gameplay mode. The update also adds a new Stellar Glimmer reaction, Stellar Swirl, which is triggered by combining Anemo and Cryo, as well as new playable characters Odette, a 5-Star Cryo Sword wielder, and Alyosha, a 4-Star Electro Polearm wielder. There will also be new limited time events.
Genshin Impact originally released in September 2020 and is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android. Players control a character in the world of Teyvat known as “the Traveler” and must embark on a journey to find their missing sibling. They are joined by NPC companion Paimon, travelling in a party of up to four active members.
