HoYoverse released a brand-new teaser for Genshin Impact's next major update, revealing details that have excited the community. Titled "Teyvat Chapter: Limitation of the Divine," the video suggests that the Nod-Krai region will not only be the next explorable territory, but also the setting for a crucial Fatui Harbingers mission. The previously mysterious character Columbina is expected to take center stage in this new plot.
With a dark atmosphere and revealing images, the teaser raises suspicions about the Fatui's true objectives and indicates that players are approaching a new turning point within the main storyline.
Who Is Columbina and Why Does She Matter Now?
Columbina, known by the codename Damselette, ranks third among the Eleven Fatui Heralds. Previous promotional videos have shown little of Columbina, but her serene and enigmatic demeanor has always piqued fans' curiosity.
In the new teaser, she appears prominently, reinforcing the theory that she will be essential to the Nod-Krai narrative. According to the dialogue, the Fatui are committed to rescuing Damselette at any cost, following a directive known as the Palestar Edict. This revelation shatters previous expectations, which indicated that the organization's focus would be on the search for Pyro Gnosis.
Fatui in Action: What We Know About the Mission to Nod-Krai
The teaser suggests that HoYoverse has sent all the Fatui Harbingers to Nod-Krai, though the reasons haven't been clearly revealed. The narrative mentions that their presence in the region is directly linked to Columbina's rescue, which leaves room for multiple interpretations.
Furthermore, there are indications that the Fatui are following a higher order, which raises questions about possible internal disputes or restructuring within the organization itself. The fact that they temporarily abandoned the search for a Gnosis in exchange for protecting a specific member could signal a significant shift in Fatui politics and dynamics.
What to expect from the new Nod-Krai region
HoYoverse has unveiled Nod-Krai with distinct visual elements that evoke a chilly and melancholic atmosphere. The first official images indicate that the map will be vast and will feature complex challenges, such as new enemies and unique exploration mechanics.
HoYoverse is expected to deepen the mythology of characters like Istaroth, Rhinedottir, and Naberius, already featured in the lore files but still unreleased as playable characters. With the arrival of Nod-Krai, Genshin Impact will likely approach the climax of its central narrative, making direct connections to the Archons and revealing more about the origins of the Fatui.
Theories, expectations and the role of players
The community has already begun to speculate about the extent of Columbina's involvement in future events. Many believe she will be introduced as a weekly boss or even a five-star playable character. Others suggest her role may be even more complex, serving as a catalyst for a possible internal betrayal among the Harbingers.
These theories gain traction as new trailers and teasers are released, heightening the mystery and excitement among players. As always, HoYoverse maintains the suspense, revealing only fragments of information, which further fuels community engagement.
