Genshin Impact's Song of the Welkin Moon web event reveals full Nod-Krai map: Fatui labs, secret guilds, danger zones, and more
For the first time, fans got a full view of Nod-Krai's map, along with the names and locations of the major islands, towns, and organisations that rule the land. From shady Fatui experiments to hopeful traders gathering in a busy port, the new region looks full of stories waiting to unfold. Players can also grab some free Primogems by checking out the event in-game.
Paha Isle: Fatui's base of operations
The northernmost island in Nod-Krai is Paha Isle. This is where the Fatui have set up the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau. It's a secret lab where shady research is happening. Many believe this will be one of the darker storylines in the new update.

Hiisi Island and the Frostmoon Scions
To the southwest lies Hiisi Island. This island is home to the Frostmoon Scions, an isolated group that lived in peace until the Fatui arrived. Now, tensions are rising, especially since the Fatui are using Columbina for their own goals.
Nasha Town: A land of dreams and danger
Nasha Town sits in the southeast and is known as the busiest port in Nod-Krai. It's said to be a paradise where dreams come true, if you can pay the price. The guild here takes commissions, but they are known to be much riskier than elsewhere.
Blue Amber Lake and the airship wreck
In the east is Blue Amber Lake, one of Nod-Krai's most beautiful spots. On its shores, an old damaged airship sits with a small camp nearby. It looks peaceful, but could be hiding secrets connected to Nod-Krai's deeper story.

Genshin Impact 5.8 maintenance schedule, server downtime details and what to expect
Image via: x/GenshinImpact/HoYoverse Genshin Impact's much-awaited update, Version 5.8, is upcoming. With HoYoverse having announced the global maintenance and server downtime, players can now brace for that temporary shutdown of services before indulging in their newest content as it usually happens with major patches. From a new Electro character to Archon quests, here's all the information you'll need before the servers go dark and, of course, what awaits you once the servers are back. Maintenance Schedule: Global Timings The maintenance for Version 5.8 is set to begin on July 30, 2025, at 6:00 AM (UTC+8), half an hour longer from 11:00 AM (UTC+8) at which time the servers will go live. While the maintenance period is standardized worldwide, time shown on-site will depend upon the region you are in. Here's an arrangement by servers: North American Servers (UTC-5): July 29, 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM European Servers (UTC+1): July 30, 12:00 AM to 5:00 AM Asian Servers (UTC+8): July 30, 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM New Content Highlights: What's Coming in Version 5.8 The 5.8 update doesn't just address backend maintenance, it will be filled with new content to keep the world of Teyvat alive and moving. ▪ New Character: Ineffa: One of the most awaited additions has been Ineffa, an Electro character for the playable roster. Her debut banner will go live as soon as the update concludes, so that players are able to insert a high-powered new element wielder into their teams. ▪ Archon Quest: "The Journey Home" : A new Archon Quest granting new stories, world-building, and perhaps further revelation to Genshin's all-encompassing lore awaits after maintenance: "The Journey Home". ▪ Limited-Time Events and Map Changes: Although HoYoverse has kept the specifics a little vague, there have been signs suggesting limited-time events inside the game and map changes or additions to some current areas; it stays to be seen whether there shall be new areas awaiting exploration or new challenges bringing rewards to complete. ▪ New Weapons and Artifacts: With Version 5.8, new weapons also come into play. It makes sense for them to be aimed at complementing Ineffa's skill set, alongside new artifact sets that will probably shake up meta strategies. FULL 5.8 FIRST HALF BANNERS | IS IT GOOD OR BAD ? - Genshin Impact Phase Durations and Update Cycle On the usual order, the two-phase structure will unfold over several weeks: Phase 1 duration: About 16 days Phase 2 duration : About 22 days (varies by server) While it's the temporary shut down of the server that may feel like an interruption, the return brings forth exciting new stories, characters, and gameplay mechanics. Whether you are in it for the lore or to bring together the strongest of parties, Genshin 5.8 is shaping up to be a great landmark in the ever-growing universe. So, get your Resin charged, clear your commissions, and start preparing because Ineffa and "The Journey Home" are just around the corner. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

Genshin Impact Varka's character profile, current location, weapons and more
Image via: HoYoverse With every new update, the world of Genshin Impact increases in scale, and there has been a great deal of anticipation regarding Varka, the Grand Master. Sprinkled between lore and events and official trailers, Varka's reputation proceeds ahead of him. Here is all that is currently known about this immense figure from Mondstadt, from story involvement to potential weapon and release window. The Legend of Varka: The Grand Master of Mondstadt Varka is not just another NPC mentioned once in lore-the Grand Master and Knight bores of the Knights of Favonius. While Varka happens to be a Knight of the highest cadre and the Grand Master of the order, he has perhaps never stepped foot in-game. Varka had left Mondstadt on a great expedition approximately half a year before the current timeline; hence Jean has been given the title of Acting Grand Master, taking care of the affairs of the city. Not much is known about his exact objective, but recent developments give us some clues about one possibility that Varka is presently in Nod-Krai, a mysterious yet-to-be-released region, following the leads concerning Durin and the Hexenzirkel. Varka is said to lead with courage but unorthodoxly, one who earns loyalty not by title but by action. Varka, Alice and All Nod Krai Characters Revealed: Song of the Welkin Moon Teaser | Genshin Impact Appearance and Personality: A Fearsome Leader According to Razor's character stories and in-game references, Varka is extremely tall, with messy blonde hair and blue eyes. Two particular factors that make him unmistakable are his facial scars, one extremely conspicuous mark on his neck and another on the right side of his face. His character dress exudes the very essence of status and much battlefield experience: a black and teal coat lined with white fur, a black breastplate bearing the Favonius crest, and an Anemo Vision which is attached visibly to his coat. Varka, in all of his aura, looks regal but also battle worn, befitting his stature. Varka is also fondly remembered by Razor, implying some kindness behind his stern exterior. Several characters have been deeply affected by his mentorship, which means that he is more than a mere warrior - he is a figure who inspires others in Mondstadt. Varka - Every Voice line About HIM!! | ft. Childe, Jean, Eula, Diluc, Kaeya and MORE~ Genshin Impact Weapon and Element: Wind and Steel The Moonlit Ballad of the Night teaser gave some pretty big clues about how Varka fights. Shown with the iconic Wolf's Gravestone hints strongly that he will be a Claymore user. His Anemo Vision, which can be seen attached to his coat in the teaser, confirms his element as Anemo; theoretically, he can be the very first Anemo Claymore in the game. Where is Varka Now? Nowadays, Varka's whereabouts are supposed to be in Nod-Krai, an enigmatic location that is expected to be introduced in Version 6.0 or higher. Increasingly, the lore hints that he was involved in organizing a Tripartite Conference with Hexenzirkel, a powerful witch circle associated with characters such as Alice and Mona. Since Durin's proxies are now repulsed, with more risk coming onto play-ups, the expedition of Varka is becoming more than just a mere scouting one, this might really be the turning point in the core narrative. Anticipated Release There is no official release date as of now, but there are rumors all over of him being playable from Version 6.0 onwards, maybe even being tied to Nod-Krai becoming available and other important characters from lore. Because of his tremendous presence and unique potential for kits and narrative value, Varka will easily be one of the most impactful entries in Genshin Impact. Genshin is PEAKING: Durin, Alice, Nicole, Varka, KIT CRUMBS & REVEAL - The Greatest Genshin Trailer Varka is more than a name mentioned on the walls in the background; he is a symbol of leadership, lore, and an air of mystery shrouding Mondstadt's past and future. As HoYoverse opens new chapters, his arrival is bound to cause a stir, not only in terms of characters but in the very foundation.
