One last look before this part of the map gets changed forever
Assuming, of course, that this is the "northern" part of Mondstadt that gets changed.

You got at least 7 more weeks minimum before that part of the map gets changed.
Biarfm2026-01-06 05:23
Derp, I had myself under the impression that it was coming in the next few days lmao.
Infinite-LifeITT2026-01-06 05:52
Ya, Dornman port is coming out after all the Doctor shenanigans in Luna 4. So basically it comes out in Luna 5.
Pur3strownu2026-01-06 06:01
I dont like the luna naming scheme. If they call the next cycle 6.x im cooked
Possible_Answer90892026-01-06 06:16
It's literally what they said was going to happen. Snez is 6.x
Think of Nod Krai as an OVA
nqtoan19942026-01-06 06:52
In the files Luna versions are already listed as 6.x. Unless they want to create another spaghetti fest, there is a high chance Snez versions will have their own name.
Useful-Description902026-01-06 07:52
Maybe they label it 7.x in game but call it 6.x in promotional materials
TranslatorFew35522026-01-06 09:49
How about 6.9, 6.10, 6.11, ...?
Vusdruv2026-01-06 09:56
Someone make the vesions numbers clean again...
Timey162026-01-06 14:16
"LUNA I, II, III" etc. are marketing terms
6.x is the technical versioning.
NamerNotLiteral2026-01-06 07:30
You're talking as if OVAs haven't tripped up anime fans since forever.
alvenestthol2026-01-06 11:45
When we get to Sneznaya, Istaroth appears, and suddenly the game versioning succumbs to the hellscape known as Haruhi episode ordering
And then the next version is just Endless Eight, where you relive and fail to prevent the end of the Samsara once every patch
pootinannyBOOSH2026-01-06 08:50
I've been quite out of the loop for a while now, why is the Welkin name on the main slash screen now, me why are the updates called Lunar?
zachsonstacks2026-01-06 10:55
Source or it didn't happen. This is the exact kind of random bullshit people just make up and then say with 100% confidence.
Why would they have ever specifically confirmed the naming scheme of the ***next*** update cycle so early in the current one? Like what the hell would be the context in livestreams all about the current patch cycle to be like "oh and by the way, 6.x is coming after Luna, anyways..."
Not to mention, Luna is still called 6.x in the files. This is a company that starts planning out a patch cycle multiple years ahead of time. They didn't blindside themself with luna, they knew they were gonna do it a year or more out. So you think they then just chose to willingly fuck the internal naming scheme of all future patch cycles?
The promotional name being mismatched with the internal files name isn't a small deal either. Anyone managing a project with even a minimal amount of foresight knows that humans making mistakes is 100% unavoidable. So rather than trying to end all human error, you take proactive steps to mitigate what the errors could be. Desynchronizing the version number of your game is the perfect example of the things you just avoid in order to mitigate errors. Takes nearly zero effort to avoid, and could lead to very large mistakes if you don't. So why would they willingly desync the version numbers?
Possible_Answer90892026-01-06 11:47
First of all, in *Honkai Impact 3rd,* Mihoyo named the finale of Part 1 story "Version Kiana". Then after that they named the update normally, "6.3". They've done this before to mark notable story beats in a different game. They'll absolutely do it again. They don't care about "confusing" the playerbase.
I'm not a hoyo employee, I couldn't tell you what the 'real' reason is. But they specifically mentioned that they're calling it Luna x because it is a part of the story that was unplanned initially, but is required to have proper pacing with Snezhnaya.
Every official communication about the Nod Krai versions has been called Luna. The[ first version of this series was even called something different, a "Segue](https://youtu.be/x0IEvmdkwM4?si=jqd79vjGhqJx_xYT&t=5499)". It has never been referred to as 6.x publicly. It being interally called that is not the gotcha you think it is; this game is a program, and programs run on numbers to catalogue placement in a system. They cannot call it Luna internally because they've literally not planned for this; their program runs on the assumption that every update is in numeral sequence. Breaking that means having to re-write and de-bug way more than what is financially acceptable.
if people would accept the artistic vision of the creators and understand the predicable of their development schedule, they'd drop calling these versions 6 .x before they start actually confusing new players around the real 6.x series.
Edit: So because I fat-finger the wrong number for an update, apparently that disregards the entire point. Some reddit logic in the replies. How about you come back to me with a single instance of Hoyoverse referring to Luna as 6.x in OFFICIAL correspondences, and then maybe we'll talk. Yall are just salty that your brains have to work a little harder.
HaukevonArding2026-01-06 22:10
You are wrong. Version Kiana WAS Version 6.4. They would never use version 6.4 because that is the date of the Tianmeng incident.
Hi3rd was: 6.3, Version Kiana, 6.5
Voice-of-Reason-23272026-01-07 02:40
Likewise, doesn't the 6.4. have references to "death" with the "4" part?
GinJoestarR2026-01-07 04:51
Yeah, the guy was confidently wrong on both comments lmao
Possible_Answer90892026-01-07 07:40
The point still stands, bud. An update was literally called something beyond the numerical.
HaukevonArding2026-01-07 08:32
Yes. But the numerical was skipped. 5.3 Version Kiana 5.5, you claimed it was: 5.3 Version Kiana 5.4 as argument why Genshin will do: 5.x Luna X 6.x, but based on Version Kiana 5.x Luna X 7.x would be more likely.
sampat62562026-01-06 17:57
The term is Interlude
IS_Mythix2026-01-06 08:25
Pretty sure they said in the livestream that snez will be 7.x
hermin42026-01-06 10:01
They skipped 6.x version naming because of the 67 meme /s
i4E5t2026-01-06 17:14
As they should have. That brain rot shit needs to die out already.
FawkesYeah2026-01-06 20:15
The sooner we all stop reacting to it, the sooner it dies.
Surtr9992026-01-07 03:40

Particular-Cod54362026-01-07 21:24
67 😂😂
Alex24222026-01-06 23:38
But wouldn't it be funny if they did the opposite, that is named all the 6.x versions "Luna" *except* Luna 7, which would suddenly be named "6.7", and then back to Luna as if nothing happened?!
FicklePangolin17172026-01-06 11:38
I think they kept it Luna 1-8 so they could drop a patch before Schneznaya and begin 7.0 with 5th year anniversary.
Important-Owl-3732026-01-06 21:53
they changed the games name because they also updated its system requirements so its technically a different game.
Nomad_Hermit2026-01-06 14:13
Have you ever looked about the Luna missions on Wikipedia? What happens in Luna 4 (6.3) and Luna 9 (6.8)?
They didn't choose that name for nothing.
Edit:
Luna 1 tried to hit the moon but failed.
Luna 2 managed to hit the moon, being the first human made artifact to reach the moon
Luna 3 was the first flyby of the moon, which took the first ever photos of its dark side, the side that can't be seen from Earth
Luna 4 was the first attempt at a soft landing on the moon, but failed
...
Luna 9 was the first time humans managed to soft land something on the moon - more specifically, a robot
BladeSingularity2026-01-06 17:53
I’m gonna come back and check this after the version ends to see if you somehow predicted the rest of the story. Now the question is, do Luna 1-3 work at all with the story we have so far?
Frigid-Kev2026-01-06 18:03
Hope to god that Dornmarn Port exploration will give us more copies of the chest-exclusive weapons! I'm only missing [one Otherwordly Story](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/1oapm0g/one_of_my_biggest_nonwish_related_regret/) to get to R5!
BobbyWibowo2026-01-07 02:59
Oh yea, I must not forget to carefully check my inventory by then, since there's no auto-lock/protection for ≤3-star weapons
Also, I'm fairly positive Dornman Port will indeed give Monstadt-only chest weapons, since I was also able to collect some Liyue-only chest weapons from Chenyu Vale
LettuceBenis2026-01-06 11:39
Luna IV is northern Nod-krai. Dornman Port is likely Luna V
rW0HgFyxoJhYka2026-01-06 13:50
#The power of Liben is to convince people of anything
Bellenstein2026-01-07 06:15
They would’ve showcased it in the last livestream.
KrimsonKurse2026-01-08 18:49
You can go do the same picture at the northern part of Nod-Krai. Lol.
hollyherring2026-01-06 07:08
Well, someone was holding me back, telling me we’ll “explore it later.”
CadetC2026-01-06 08:35
Liben spoke about hills. I hope those cliffs aren't considered hills
gxplnet2026-01-06 08:36
Cool shot!
Even if we have a bit of time till it's changed.
SunkyMPEG22026-01-06 09:09
I remember launching fireworks from there
Background_Dot36922026-01-06 09:15
I was also hoping to see the abandoned sanatorium, damn I had to wait for a month at least now. Liben got me so excited.
Zek7h35an52026-01-06 12:04
I'm still wondering in what context Mondstadt had to built an entire ass Sanatorium. Like, have we heard of Mondstadt coming under seige by some sort of mass plague/illness before?
Background_Dot36922026-01-06 13:51
Maybe it was a place for aristocracy elders to live luxuriously as Liben said that the area is very beautiful. Sanatoriums are often not for the plagues, they are for leisure and health overall.
eadingas2026-01-06 18:23
Monstadt is based on Germany/Austria/Switzerland, and they have massive spa and sanatorium culture. It's a wonder we haven't seen one before.
Lazy-Traffic53462026-01-06 22:23
Or a week if you check leaks
Background_Dot36922026-01-08 07:03
Idk they said only Nod krai island will be added at this one.
Skyro6562026-01-10 23:02
Yeah
On luna 4 in 3 days
Then luna 5 beta starts and thats what they meant with it
lawlianne2026-01-06 09:26
Heavenly principles proceeds to nail-drop on Mondstadt and remove it from existence.
WastePermission96202026-01-06 10:58
Mondstadt goated tfym
SpacefillerBR2026-01-06 15:45
Venti proceeds to turn on the three ZPMs and launch Modstadt in to orbit, after that it stays there with Columbina until 7.XXX when the Tsarusa finally succeeds in removing the bad parasite that was controlling the heavenly principles all along.
Kriegsman_29072026-01-06 11:52
Wait what’s going on?
Pitiful_Feedback_7562026-01-06 12:39
There's going to be the release of dorman port!!!
Kriegsman_29072026-01-08 02:28
Is that a Mondstat new place?
Pitiful_Feedback_7562026-01-08 06:43
yes!
cl0tho2026-01-06 15:44
OP thought Dornman Port was already coming in the next few days because Liben mentioned it.
OP may not be aware of patch cycles and the preview events detailing what's included for each upcoming patch I guess.
Biarfm2026-01-07 04:13
It’s mostly because OP has a strong case of ADHD. And is a bit of a dumb ~~all the time~~ sometimes.
Ok_Air86582026-01-06 12:00
Mondstadt update? I cant believe my eyes, Is it time to return to genshin after a year?
yoshi_in_black2026-01-06 13:23
It will cone with the Luna V patch, so in the end of February. We need to fight Dottore first.
HygenicTetanus2026-01-07 09:46
Screw Dottore for gatekeeping Dornman Port, bro is a villain to the playerbase too!!!
Rouge_means_red2026-01-06 12:18
Why?
Wait where's Klee???
h2odragon002026-01-06 12:23
Last look??
Dortman man port ain't for at least 1 patch.
partypoisonswetpants2026-01-08 00:47
It is likely that they will at least upgrade the placeholder terrain to be closer to what will come, if anything, so it might be. We are used to it looking as it does now.)
Skyro6562026-01-10 23:06
They dont tend to do that
They didnt for 5.7 to 5.8
Nor for 4.3 and 4.5 to 4.4 and 4.6
So they wont really update the lowpoly and will only release the map on its version
Mostly_Square2026-01-06 12:31
What did I miss? Is Alice doing a take-your-daughter-to-work day?
leakmydata2026-01-06 14:50

Holoholokid2026-01-06 16:50
Ah, placeholder terrain. Love it.
Cursed_line2026-01-07 01:06

MacAttack2649842026-01-07 02:16
