The Chinese leaker 人民的迪迦 has shared several juicy bits of information on the Genshin Leakflow Telegram channel regarding the planned content for Genshin Impact in future updates. They have provided a roadmap of what to expect from versions 6.0 to 6.8, which is likely to be the entirety of the Nod-Krai arc.

- Version 6.0: According to the leaker, the 6.0 update will introduce Nasha Town and Hiisi Island to the game. While the former is a bustling city in Nod-Krai, the latter is confirmed to be the residence of the Frostmoon Scions.
- Version 6.1: The 6.1 update is likely to expand Nod-Krai’s map and add the Fatui Headquarters of the region and the Frostmoon Scions Garrison to the title. Both are expected to be important to the narrative.
- Version 6.2: According to 人民的迪迦, the 6.2 patch may add the base of Hexenzirkel in Nod-Krai to the game. This would be a huge development and is likely to expand on the motivations of the coven of witches. The maps of previous summer events may be introduced as per speculations.
- Version 6.3: As for the 6.3 update, the leaker suggests that the narrative may shift to Liyue in this patch, and HoYoverse may finally introduce the Blackcliff Forge map expansion after teasing it for the longest time.
- Version 6.4: This patch adds the Mount Esus area of Fontaine to the in-game map. It is a mountainous area, which may also include a separate area within it based on the name of a flower important to Teyvat.
- Version 6.5: After expanding the boundaries of Liyue and Fontaine, the leaks suggest it would be the turn of Mondstadt. It is likely that version 6.5 may finally see the release of the Dornman Port and Dandelion Sea map expansion.
- Version 6.6: The 6.6 update may allow players to visit the ancient city of Seelies, called Hyperborea.
- Version 6.7: Undisclosed.
