The number of voices saying, “The journey on the Teyvat continent is finally coming to an end” has been increasing in the Genshin community. Many players are expecting that the story of the land of fire, “Natlan,” will be brought to a close, and the next stage will be the land of ice, “Snezhnaya.”
The one who reigns at the top is one of the Seven Gods, the Ice Empress (Ice God Tsaritsa). Although a clear implementation date has not yet been officially announced, we are beginning to see some direction based on information from surveys and data mining.
Snejnaya implementation timing prediction
As of now, Looking at the progress of Genshin’s versions, it is natural to think that the Snezhnaya arc has not yet arrived.
Based on official announcements and past leaks, the community predicts that it is likely that the Snezhnaya arc will be fully developed around the 7.0 update. This is from the perspective that the 6.x cycle will be used for expanding existing areas and other stories, and that the next major story will be the Snezhnaya arc.
However, there has been no official announcement yet, and it has been circulating in the form of “rumors and leaked information.” Information cannot be confirmed until an official announcement is made.
Who is the Ice Empress (Tsaritsa)?
The Ice Empress Tsaritsa is set as one of the Seven Gods in the Genshin official version, but she has never appeared directly. In the story, the influence, rumors, and background are only discussed, and there is no scene where the player directly confronts it yet. Traces of her can be seen in the official PV and setting materials, but the details are unknown.
Tsaritsa is depicted as the ruler of Snezhnaya and the leader of Fatui’s headquarters. Within the community, it is believed that he will become an important character who will get to the heart of the story in the future.
Is the Ice Empress the “strongest supporter”?
In Genshin, there have been many examples in which the divine characters of each country have environment shaping abilities that are more than just attackers (e.g. Wenti/Wind, Zhongli/Iwa, General Raiden/Lightning). Therefore, supporter performance at a level that will greatly change the environment is expected for Tsaritsa as well.
The specific rumors are:
- Manipulation of interest rate and elemental reactions
- Strengthening buff for freezing reaction system
- New tactical applications of ice attributes
etc. However, these are still at the level of fan predictions and rumors derived from data miners, and performance has not been officially announced. Please note that this cannot be guaranteed.
“Fatus Enforcers” appearing in the Snezhnaya arc
Snezhnaya’s force is **Fadui Enforcer (Fatus)**. Officially, there are 11 executioners in Fadui.
(For Enforcers, the list, background, relationship between emblems and constellations, etc. are summarized on the official strategy wiki, etc.)
There are some Enforcers who are appearing in the story at the moment, but there is no official announcement that they will become friends in the current story.
Among them, “Signora (Lady)” has already been implemented as a boss to fight in the story, and some say there is “little hope” of her becoming playable at this point. Regarding the other Enforcers, there are so-called “predictions that they will become playable” within the community, but there are currently many unconfirmed rumors. Multiple names have been mentioned on reddit, but their reliability varies depending on the source (e.g. Clown/Pedrolino, 1st Rank Enforcer, Pulcinella, etc.), but these are treated as leak rumors.
Fatus Enforcer Playable Prediction
The following predictions have been made as rumors from the community, but This is not an official announcement:
- Marionette (Sandrone) has been talked about as a character expected to be implemented (a popular opinion on reddit).
Although “quite powerful latent characters” have been suggested as candidates among the existing enforcers, It is unlikely that non-surviving enforcers (such as Signora) will be implemented.
These are leak fan predictions and are not reliable information that internal code at the development stage has been leaked.
Everything depends on when the official side will make an announcement.
When will the Ice Empress (Tsaritsa) come out?
Based on the currently confirmed information,
- There is a community prediction that the Snagenaya edition is likely to be a major update around 7.0
- However, The exact implementation date and version number are unknown as there is no official announcement from HoYoverse
This is the situation.
Usually, Genshin has major updates every six weeks, but it has been pointed out that the implementation of “The Last of the Seven Kingdoms”, which is a major milestone in the world view, may be a much larger version. While waiting for the official announcement, the current target date is around early to mid-2026, but please note that this is just a rumor.
