Genshin Impact Unveils Nod‑Krai Region in Major Update “Luna I” Across SEA

Genshin Impact Unveils Nod-Krai Region in Major Update Across Southeast Asia: A Moonlit Adventure Begins in Teyvat’s Mysterious New Frontier

Genshin Impact has officially launched its biggest update of the year across Southeast Asia with the release of “Luna I: Song of the Welkin Moon – Segue.” Released on September 10, 2025, this massive update introduces the long-anticipated Nod-Krai region, bringing a wealth of new content, characters, lore, and gameplay enhancements to players in the SEA community.

Nod-Krai is an archipelago consisting of three primary islands: Hiisi, Lempo, and Paha Isle. Players who have completed the Archon Quest in Liyue can now access this mystical region, where moonlight mythology blends with ancient energy systems to shape combat and exploration.

The “Song of the Welkin Moon” web event has revealed major landmarks across Nod-Krai, such as Paha Isle, home to the Fatui’s Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau; Nasha Town, a treacherous trade hub; Blue Amber Lake, marked by a mysterious wrecked airship; and Hiisi Island, sacred to the enigmatic Frostmoon Scions.

New Characters Join the Fight

The update brings in three powerful new characters hailing from Nod-Krai:

• Lauma – A five-star Dendro Catalyst user, Lauma introduces a new elemental reaction called “Lunar-Bloom,” which creates “Dewsprout” buffs that enhance team performance.
• Flins – A five-star Electro Polearm wielder with lunar-charged vision abilities that pierce through illusions and strike with precision.
• Aino – A free-to-play four-star Hydro Claymore character, automatically unlocked upon completing the latest Archon Quest.

Revamped Gameplay and Exploration

Several innovative mechanics redefine exploration and combat across Nod-Krai. “Kuuvahki Energy” introduces unique elemental challenges tied to lunar phases, while the “Lunar-Bloom” system adds synergy options never seen before. New bosses like Radiant Moonfly and Knuckle Duckle challenge players with enhanced elemental counters and movement dynamics.

The Meeting Points system also returns in a reimagined form, offering improved navigation, event tracking, and bonuses tied to world progression. Reports also suggest that new artifact sets and regional buffs will reward players who build teams aligned with the Nod-Krai environment—marking a strategic shift in the game’s meta.

Massive Anniversary Celebrations in SEA

To mark the game’s five-year anniversary, players in Southeast Asia can enjoy a suite of valuable rewards:

• One free five-star character of choice
• Materials to level them up to Lv. 60
• 10 Intertwined Fates
• 1,600 Primogems
• Region-themed gadgets and cosmetics
• A login campaign offering another 10 Intertwined Fates

In addition, HoYoFair returns with vibrant fan content, animations, and art showcases spotlighting the SEA Genshin community throughout September.

More Characters on the Horizon

Genshin Impact isn’t stopping with just three new heroes. A cinematic reveal introduced ten more characters tied to Nod-Krai’s arc, including long-anticipated figures like Alice, Varka, Durin, Nefer, Nicole Reeyn, and major Fatui Harbingers like Columbina and Sandrone. This signals a long-term storytelling investment in the Nod-Krai region and its significance in the overarching Teyvat saga.

Final Thought

Nod-Krai isn’t just a new region—it’s a bold step forward in Genshin Impact’s worldbuilding, gameplay innovation, and community engagement. For players in Southeast Asia, “Luna I” delivers a unique blend of mystery, mythology, and mechanics that deepen the emotional and strategic pull of the game. Whether you’re drawn in by its stunning landscapes, powerful new characters, or the evolving lore, Nod-Krai is a glowing example of how far Genshin Impact has come—and how much further it’s ready to go.
