HoYoVerse is getting ready to pull back the curtain on one of Genshin Impact's most anticipated regions yet: Snezhnaya.
The company announced a new presentation called "Behind the Scenes of Genshin Impact: To Snezhnaya and the Future", which will air on April 24, 2026. If you're watching from Malaysia or Singapore, that works out to 8pm MYT/SGT, which is honestly a pretty nice slot for local players who want to catch it live after work or class.
The stream will be available on YouTube and Twitch, and HoYoVerse says YouTube will have an archive later, so no stress if you miss the live broadcast.
This showcase matters because Genshin Impact is now moving closer to its 7.0 update, the version expected to finally bring players into Snezhnaya. That region has been hanging over the game's story for a long time, especially with how much the Fatui have shaped major story beats across earlier patches. The source material also notes that more Fatui Harbingers are presumably on the way once Snezhnaya arrives, which is exactly why longtime lore fans are paying attention.
What makes this announcement a bit interesting is the format. HoYoVerse is not calling this a Special Program, which is the label used for the Luna VI (6.6) stream back in March 2026. That likely comes down to timing. According to the source, the game is still about two updates away from the full 7.0 launch, so this looks more like a broader preview of where the game is heading rather than the usual patch-focused breakdown.
So what should fans expect? Right now, Snezhnaya is clearly the main attraction. Players have only seen bits and pieces of the region before, including hints scattered across earlier versions and material tied to Nod Krai during the Luna (6.0) patch cycle. HoYoVerse also shared a teaser image featuring a snowy landscape and the city icon, which is about as direct a signal as you can get without dropping a full trailer.
What we still don't know is whether the presentation will go deep into the main story or stay focused on world design, development plans, and region setup. For lore-heavy players, that uncertainty is part of the hype. Snezhnaya has been built up for ages, so even a small story tease could send theory crafters into overdrive.
Before 7.0 arrives, though, there's still Luna VII to get through. That update is still some distance away, especially since Luna VI only launched on April 8, 2026. HoYoVerse has already confirmed a few notable arrivals for Luna VII, including Hexenzirkel's Nicole, a Hexenzirkel-adjacent character named Prune, and Lohen of the Knights of Favonius.
For Malaysian and wider SEA players, this is the kind of stream worth keeping an eye on. Genshin Impact still has a massive audience here across mobile, PC, and console, and a major region reveal usually means fresh story discussion, character speculation, and plenty of community noise across Discord, TikTok, and local fan groups. If you've been waiting for the game to finally push deeper into Fatui territory, this is probably the next big checkpoint.
Genshin Impact is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile.
