Genshin Impact’s latest 7.0 update launches the new Snezhnaya region, instantly expanding the open‑world with a sprawling map replete with fresh secrets.
Flamefeather Valley
This subterranean zone breaks conventional Snezhnaya aesthetics by offering a crisp, autumn‑colored landscape instead of the expected blizzard backdrop. Access is exclusive to three‑person tactical mode, hinting at an integrated world quest.
Volkodlak Tundra
Representing Snezhnaya’s southern quadrant, Volkodlak Tundra contains the first major urban center, Sretomorozsk. Nearby are Rankova Zorya and the Hunter’s Cabin, anchoring the region’s initial exploration despite the harsh ice terrain.
Fellfrost Peak
Situated to the east, Fellfrost Peak presents a barren, treacherous landscape. Key points include Tidesong Cavern, House of Hesperides, and the city of Svetloledovka, all demanding careful traversal.
Everfrozen Earth
Marking the heart of Snezhnaya, Everfrozen Earth hosts the capital, Snezhnograd, and a plethora of sites: Snezhnograd itself, Corolevskiy Theater, and Druzhna HQ. The area also shelters Zapolyarny Palace, the Cryo Archon Tsaritsa’s seat, as well as the Adventure Guild and the Blacksmith armory for crafting.
White Birch Snowgrave
White Birch Snowgrave is a locus of lore, featuring the Pilgrimage to the Sacred Gorge that eventually leads to Pale Crown Palace. This location also triggers an important world quest event.
As Genshin Impact continues to layer its world, the Snezhnaya update ensures that players can prioritize exploration by focusing on these highlighted districts.
