HoYoverse has dropped a new Genshin Impact teaser, “Transcendence Trailer – Sudden Snow,” and it confirms Version 7.0 on August 12, 2026.
More than that, the trailer gives the best look so far at Snezhnaya and makes it clear this arc is a major story pivot. The footage reveals that the Tsaritsa is Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya, then rolls out 13 key figures tied to what’s coming, including Vodyanitsa, Alyosha, Odette, Valeriy, Vesna, Danica, Noy, and Mitya. Several Fatui Harbingers are front and center too. Pulcinella finally gets his first real on-screen appearance, joined by Pantalone, Tartaglia , Sandrone, and Arlecchino. And the tone of the trailer points to friction inside Snezhnaya itself, along with bigger answers about the Tsaritsa’s motives and the Gnoses.
It’s also already set off a wave of Version 7.0 speculation. Players are picking through the teaser for signs of possible new “Stellar” reactions, early playable candidates like Odette and Alyosha, and lore hints tied to Project Stuzha, Slavic symbolism, and the way Snezhnaya’s leadership seems to operate behind closed doors.
If you’ve been following Genshin Impact’s Archon story, you’ll probably want to watch this one. It’s up now on HoYoverse’s official Genshin Impact channels.
