Genshin Impact Enters Snezhnaya with Patch 7.0
The update with the new frozen region is available today
The long journey of Genshin Impact has reached a fundamental stage: Snezhnaya, the seventh and final nation of the continent of Teyvat (be aware, however, that this is not the final area of the game…). This perpetually frozen land is the home of the Fatui, the organization that has long been shown as the main antagonist. Snezhnaya is accessible starting today, August 12, with the release of patch 7.0.
What's New in Patch 7.0
The new update brings with it a vast area to explore, with new cities to visit, characters to meet, and of course, enemies to fight. The story continues with the Archon Quest Everwinter Without Mercy. In Snezhnaya, cold reigns supreme, so attention must be paid to the peculiar freezing mechanic. Also regarding new mechanics, gameplay has been expanded with third-person shooter sessions, conceptually quite distant from what is usually seen in Genshin.
New Characters in Patch 7.0
With patch 7.0, two new playable characters are introduced into Hoyoverse's gacha: Odette (5-star, sword, Cryo) and Alyosha (4-star, polearm, Electro). You can obtain both from the new character banner released today. A copy of Alyosha is also automatically unlocked during the new Archon Quest.
