Genshin Impact Map Expansions & More

Posted by: BlueStacks Content Team

If you enjoy playing Genshin Impact but feel there’s been a content drought and complain that the developers have neglected the game’s exploration aspect, the 6.3 update might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. This update is expected to add the second half of Nod-Krai, meaning two new regions will become explorable. You can find more information about these regions below, but for now, please remember that all of this is still just a rumor. Although it has been shared by multiple reliable sources, please keep in mind that this information is subject to change.

Piramida City and Lake Amsvartnir

It is generally accepted that Nod-Krai consists of five large islands, and it is said that the 6.3 update will be the final map expansion for this region. The first map to be added is expected to be Piramida. As is well known, this is the central city of the Lightkeepers and is built on the ruins of an ancient castle. You can see what it looks like from a distance using the telescope at Final Night Cemetery. For now, it appears to consist only of a massive lighthouse, but we are sure it will offer plenty to explore.

Lake Amsvartnir is actually a sacred forest and a place of great importance to the Seelie royal court. Those who break the golden branch here face the wrath of the court. While we know the lake lies north of Nod-Krai and close to the edge of the wasteland, its exact location is unclear. Since it is not an accessible area, we unfortunately have no idea what it looks like. However, according to a speculative map shared by detto_grie on r/Genshin_Impact, it might be located here:

In addition to these map expansions, the 6.3 update will introduce new character banners to the game, and it is expected to conclude the Nod-Krai storyline. And of course, we can also expect new weapons, artifacts, and outfits.

6.3 looks set to be a significant update for Genshin Impact and could mark the beginning of a new chapter for the game. As always, BlueStacks will be your best option for playing Genshin Impact on PC: play with BlueStacks and enjoy better graphics, smoother gameplay, and improved controls!
