The update adds Snezhnaya, the seventh and final nation of Teyvat, ruled by the Cryo Archon Anastasia Fyodorovna Snezhnaya. With this release, all seven nations of Teyvat will be complete, six years after the game's initial launch in September 2020. The region was previously partially introduced through Nod-Krai in the \"Luna I\" update on September 10, 2025. Ver.7.0 includes Archon Quests Chapter VII: Act I \"The Snow Country Unloved by the Gods\" and Act II \"Nocturne of the Dead Soul,\" which continue the story involving the core settings of Teyvat. New gameplay features include the multi-functional tool \"Glaiya's Eye,\" third-person shooting using \"True Ice Creations,\" and the \"Star Diffusion\" reaction. In the Dark Domain, an area shrouded in darkness, players will use guns such as a Cryo rifle, an Electro rifle, and a grenade launcher. New playable characters Odette and Alyosha were also revealed, with Odette increasing team damage through Star reactions and Alyosha providing a Star Conduction damage increase and HP restoration. A special program \"Teyvat Talk!! Just Before Entering Snezhnaya\" will air on August 11.","whyItMatters":"The completion of all seven nations marks the end of a six-year expansion cycle that began with the game's September 2020 release, and the addition of shooting mechanics in the Dark Domain introduces a new combat style to the open-world RPG.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSnezhnaya-grad, the bustling capital, and Morepesok, Tartaglia\u0026#39;s hometown, appear on the new field map.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Traveler gets devices that protect against the cold and change the environment, including setting up heat sources on the field that can be shared with other players.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Dark Domain is an area \u0026#34;shrouded in deep darkness that even the Heavenly Principles avert their eyes from,\u0026#34; per the Automaton piece.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGunplay there includes cover and sliding actions, plus environment use such as breaking ice to drop enemies into water.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Cryo rifle does precision shooting, the Electro rifle has lock-on, and the grenade launcher handles area attacks.
