Every year in Genshin Impact Rumors are circulating that there won't be an X.8 version, but this time it might just happen. According to a reliable DK2 insider, the latest patch Nod-Krai It will be 6.7, which means there is no 6.8 update planned. If this is true, then Snezhnaya will be released on August 12, not September 23, as previously planned.
There are several facts that confirm this development of events:
- The developers usually think through all the details very carefully, and all versions of Nod's End are called "Moon". Patch 6.7 — this is Moon 8, which equals the number of its phases. It makes sense to end the autonomous region's cycle at this point, because Moon 6.8 would become Moon 9.
- Uncle Cock noticed that the current season of the event The Long Road to Perfection (with free constellations) will end on August 10th, at the end of update 6.7. Furthermore, the large-scale HoYo FEST 2026 will begin on July 31st, coinciding with the next version's stream. On such an important date, it would be symbolic to announce not a summer festival, but a Snow Festival.
- If the developers do release patch 6.8, then the anniversary in 2027 will fall on 7.8, not 8.0 in the new cycle.
UPD: On stream about the development of Snezhnaya The developers revealed the region's release date: August 12. This officially confirms that there will be no update 6.8, because version 6.7 will immediately begin. patch 7.0.
Now look: the snow announcement date is already known - it's August 12th.
Version 6.6 (current) was released on May 20, 2026, version 6.7 will be released in 42 days, meaning version 6.7 will be released on July 1.
The next version is due out in 42 days, again: July 1st + 42 days = August 12th. Remember the snowy announcement—August 12th.
That is, Version 7.0 will be released on August 12th; this date is already known. And there is simply no room for 6.8.
Moreover, Sandrone, who was announced as a Nod Ender hero, hasn't been released yet, and let's not forget about the mandatory interim chapter. So 6.8 is a must-have to complete the last 30% of Nod Ender, release Sandrone, and give her an interim chapter.
Because the site is glitchy and doesn't send the message right away, I thought the message wasn't sent at all, so I repeated it.
What should we do with the last part of NodCry that hasn't been released yet and won't be released in 6.7?
Moreover, Sandrone, one of the announced NodCry heroes, was never released. So, it's likely that 6.8 will still happen because NodCry needs to close the last 30% and Sandrone needs to be introduced.
Read my comment, there's simply no room for version 6.8 because the snow version is coming out on August 12th (announcement)
6.6 was released on May 20th
6.7 - in 42 days, that is, on July 1
and 42 days after July 1st it's exactly August 12th, and on that day there will be snow, so it can't be 6.8.
(42 days is the standard patch duration, 21 days for each half)
Why do you think it won't be released in 6.7? It will be released in 6.7.
Of all the regions, I liked Fontaine and Nodkrai the most. It's sad to say goodbye. I could have spent another six months running around the Black Icelandic sands.
I saw this leak on Telegram, and everyone there says they say this about every patch. I don't recall anything like that, but maybe that's true.
Overall, I hope 6.8 will happen, because Nod-Kray scammed me and ruined me on every f***ing banner I ran, and I need to save up more time for Snezhnaya🥲
If it turns out that 6.8 won't happen, then I'll sadly skip Loen, because Snezhnaya might have my priority characters, which I've been waiting for for years.
Isn't Loen one of those creamy Persians who was said to be the new standard lego and could be picked up for the anniversary like everyone else?
Yes. But I still wanted to spin it with the signature and get the constu for the anniversary. I also spinned Mizuki, but I lost and didn't have time to finish spinning it. After that, I never crashed, either from losses or from the standard version. I only got it for the anniversary and am actively playing it now~
It happens that you like characters and don't care about the details.
I don't know, I've been getting banners for NodCry even before NodCry came out. First, during the patch before NodCry, I was able to get two event heroes in a row: Sithlali and Ineff. Then I saved up and saved up and got Durin with a signature, then saved up and saved up and got Columbine with this cool drop like, at first, of course, I lost after four wins in a row (Ineff, Sithlali, Durin, and his signature), then Columbine dropped, and in the same spin, along with Columbine, I got the losing hero, which gave me a 100% guarantee for the next summon. So, I was able to get Nefer, and I still have enough to get someone in 6.7. Even if I lose, I can continue saving up thanks to my savings, but I'm just waiting for Alisa or the Snow Queen.
So I've just been lucky with banners over the last year.
