The Snezhnaya arc keeps expanding, and Genshin Impact’s community is buzzing with fresh leaks about version 7.2. Reports circulating across the r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks subreddit suggest two new playable characters, a substantial map expansion, and fresh event content are all headed the Traveler’s way. As always with leaks, take these details with a grain of salt until HoYoverse confirms them officially.

The two headline additions are Mitya and Valeriy, both hailing from Snezhnaya. Mitya is shaping up to be the version’s featured 5-star, an Electro Catalyst user who leaks suggest can flex as either a Main DPS or off-field Sub-DPS while buffing the team’s Elemental Mastery — a versatile kit that’s got theorycrafters excited. Valeriy, meanwhile, is expected to arrive as a 4-star Electro Sword-wielding Shielder, rounding out the duo with some much-needed team support.
On the exploration front, 7.2 is rumored to bring a major expansion to the Snezhnaya map, reportedly shaped like a handgun and featuring a new town called Novokitzehgrad with underground areas. Other leaks point to a coastal expansion referred to as Puerto Belovodye, though that reference image is described as an early sketch rather than a finalized design. Players have also spotted red crystallized formations in datamined content, possibly tied to Noy — a mysterious character only glimpsed in Snezhnaya’s original cinematic trailer.
