Possible release date for the Nod-Krai region in Genshin Impact

HoYoverse has officially revealed the event calendar for version 5.8, which shows the schedule of various events that will take place in this version. Based on this information, the update for version 5.8 will be released on July 30, 2025, and each update generally lasts 42 days.

So, if we add 42 days to July 30, 2025, we should be able to determine the release date for version 6.0. Based on these calculations, the Nod-Krai map expansion is speculated to be released on September 10, 2025.

Another pattern of HoYoverse that could help us predict the release date of version 6.0 is the schedule of the Stygian Onslaught game mode in Genshin Impact. This mode for version 5.7 was released on June 25, 2025, and will remain in-game until July 29, 2025. If we look at these dates, we can see that the 5.8 update will be released one day after the Stygian Onslaught cycle for 5.7 is completed.

The developers have also released the schedule for this new endgame mode in version 5.8. It will start on August 6, 2025, and players can challenge this mode till September 9. Thus, based on their previous trend, we can speculate that the 6.0 update could be released on September 10.

Since the developers have officially confirmed that players will be able to explore the Nod-Krai region in version 6.0, it is speculated that we can access this new area on September 10, 2025. HoYoverse will likely release a similar event calendar for the 6.0 update before its release, which should confirm the release date of the Nod-Krai map expansion.
