Highlights:
* Genshin Impact 6.0 leaks claim that Snezhnaya has a secret special advanced military force called the Drekavac Brigade.
* Columbina is supposedly a powerful necromancer in charge of Snezhnaya’s Royal Vivarium.
Snezhnaya is the next region scheduled to be released in Genshin Impact. Succeeding Natlan, it is the polar opposite of the region ruled by the Pyro Archon. While Natlan is characterized by its hot springs and draconic inhabitants called Saurians, Snezhnaya is a land that is affected by perpetual blizzards. Cryo Archon Tsaritsa rules Snezhnaya with an iron fist as she has command over the strongest and most advanced military out of the seven regions, named the Fatui.
Reddit user ukrisreng shared valuable tidbits about the Cryo Archon Tsaritsa, the Fatui Harbingers, and the Snezhnaya region’s functioning. Formerly, the reliable source disclosed more information about the Saurians and upcoming characters with the Genshin Impact 5.0 leaks.
Genshin Impact 6.0 Leaks: Snezhnaya May Undergo A Tumultuous Period In The Story
The Snezhnaya map presumably will be released in Genshin Impact 6.0 in the middle of 2025. Recent leaks claim that the scenery concept arts and the boss designs have been finalized. Tsaritsa could be one of the boss fights following the Snezhnaya update. After all, she has been introduced as an antagonist in the story, manipulating and enforcing her will in Tevyat.
In the story, Tsaritsa targets the Gnoses for potentially evil motives. The latest Genshin Impact 6.0 leaks claim that the Cryo Archon and Pierro’s actions with the Gnoses will cause a split in the Fatui Harbingers. One side will be conservatives while the other will be radicals. Additionally, the Genshin Impact leaker mentioned that the Gnose hunts are likely related to Project Stuzha.
‘Stuzha’ is a Russian word for severe cold. Given that Project Stuzha translates to Project Sheer Cold, Tsaritsa could be planning to freeze Tevyat and usher in a new age. Her goal of “burning away the old world” would ironically be carried out with freezing temperatures.
In another interesting revelation from the Genshin Impact 6.0 leaks, the Fatui isn’t the main force of the Cryo Archon. Instead, she has command over a special brigade in Snezhnaya’s advanced military force called the Drekavac Brigade. It is worth noting that the Fatui are considered to be the strongest soldiers in Teyvat. Drekavacs, in turn, could be the secret Royale Brigade in Snezhnaya.
The Split In Fatui Harbingers Was Teased By Genshin Impact
According to the leak, ‘A Winter Night’s Lazzo’ video released by HoYoverse two years ago teased the split between the Fatui. The members of the two created factions allegedly will be based on where they stood in the video. It features the Harbingers surrounding Signora’s casket with Pierro addressing the group, ominously stating, “Let every worthy sacrifice be carved in ice.” This further highlights the role of Project Stuzha in the story.
Genshin Impact 6.0 Leaks Reveal Columbina’s Role In Snezhnaya
‘A Winter Night’s Lazzo’ video also gave the first visual of Columbina, a girl who is deemed dangerous by both Tartaglia and the Wanderer. She is the third Fatui Harbinger and is rumored to possess power rivaling that of the gods. Interestingly, Columbina doesn’t appear that powerful as she is usually unaware of her surroundings.
As per the Genshin Impact 6.0 leaks, Columbina used to be a powerful necromancer. She is in Snezhnaya and is in charge of a place called the Royal Vivarium. It is stated to be a hybrid between a botanic garden and a zoo.
Apart from the Royal Vivarium structure, the leaks mentioned Snezhnaya has a heating system called the Krsnik Torch. It could be crucial to the story given that Tsaritsa is apparently planning to freeze the entirety of Tevyat.
