Genshin Impact Version 7.2 will add two named areas to Snezhnaya, giving players new locations to explore when the update arrives on 4 November 2026. The areas are Novokitezhgrad and Wingspan Peak, according to a teaser highlighted by HappyGamer.
The announcement came through a teaser published on Saturday, 31 October. Rather than outlining rewards or combat systems, the post introduces the locations through references to Snezhnaya’s history, hidden stories and unexplored territory. It presents Novokitezhgrad as a city associated with the fae, while Wingspan Peak is linked to a dragon and the remnants of a past calamity.
“Into the Uncharted Reaches of Snezhnaya.” — title of the official teaser
What the teaser identifies
- Novokitezhgrad: described as “the city ruled by the fae,” with the teaser pointing toward stories and secrets connected to the area.
- Wingspan Peak: introduced through imagery involving the shadow of a great dragon and the remains of Snezhnaya’s past.
- Kristall mines: the teaser refers to mines containing traces of calamity and secrets buried beneath layers of Kristall.
The wording connects both locations to the nation’s history, but the teaser keeps their specific roles separate. It does not establish whether the Kristall mines are located at Wingspan Peak, nor does it explain how the dragon relates to either area. Those details remain part of the update’s unrevealed content.
For players in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, the immediate significance is the addition of two new exploration destinations to the next Genshin Impact version. The teaser indicates that the areas will expand Snezhnaya’s map and continue its focus on buried history and unanswered stories. It does not provide a separate regional release schedule or a release time, so the confirmed date remains 4 November 2026.
What remains undisclosed
The announcement does not list the enemies, bosses, quests or rewards associated with Novokitezhgrad and Wingspan Peak. It also does not connect either location to Furina’s return, which was covered in separate reporting about Version 7.2. The area reveal therefore adds map information without confirming how the new locations fit into the update’s character content.
HappyGamer also notes that the teaser recommends disabling dark mode for the best viewing experience, suggesting that the announcement was designed as a stylized presentation rather than a conventional feature list. For now, the confirmed information is limited to the two area names, their broad thematic descriptions and their inclusion in the Version 7.2 update scheduled for 4 November.
