Genshin Impact leak teases playable characters in Snezhnaya 


Recent Genshin Impact livestream titled “To Snezhnaya and the Future” confirmed that Travelers will finally be heading to the seventh nation of Teyvat. After years of speculation, players have now gotten their first real glimpse of Snezhnaya, and a new leak is already teasing upcoming playable characters.

With the release of Nod-Krai, Genshin Impact’s story has entered its endgame, bringing major factions like the Hexenzirkel, the sinners of Khaenri’ah, the Moon Sisters, and the Fatui Harbingers into focus. As the narrative builds toward Snezhnaya, the stakes are only getting higher.

A leaker by the name of Chugou has hinted at three playable characters coming in Snezhnaya. Keep reading to find out more about this new Genshin Impact leak.

Note: As with all leaks, this information is not final and should be taken with a grain of salt until officially confirmed.


Genshin Impact leak: Three playable Snezhnaya characters

According to the leaker Chugou, Anastasya, Pantalone, and Vodyanitsa are three Snezhnaya characters expected to become playable. Moreover, between versions 7.0 and 7.3, there will be six playable characters, three of whom are still unknown.

This leak might not come as a big surprise to many for two reasons: players already expect Anastasya, Pantalone, and Vodyanitsa to become playable in Snezhnaya, and Genshin Impact versions x.0 to x.3 usually introduce six or seven characters in total.

Let’s discuss what we know about these three Snezhnaya characters so far.

Who is Anastasya?

#GenshinImpact #Columbina “Winter nights know no mercy. She left her curtained nest in frost and snow; no one is obliged to restore that which she has lost.” — Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya ◆ Name: Columbina Hyposelenia ◆ Title: Welkin Moon’s Homecoming ◆ The Moon Maiden ◆

Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya is the Cryo Archon and the cold-hearted ruler of Snezhnaya. Just like every Archon character, she is expected to play a major role in the Archon questline of Snezhnaya and become playable in either version 7.2 or 7.3. Her name was first revealed in Columbina’s drip marketing description back in December 2025.

The Tsaritsa is the most obvious character Travelers will come across in Snezhnaya. She will be a 5-star Cryo character, but that is all that is currently known about her.

Who is Pantalone?

Pantalone, also known as Regrator, is the 9th Fatui Harbinger in Genshin Impact. In fact, he is one of the few remaining Harbingers whom Travelers have not yet met. Unlike other Harbingers who are sent to bring the Gnosis to the Tsaritsa, Pantalone has so far remained in Snezhnaya. If the leaks turn out to be true, players might soon be able to meet this cunning, handsome, and wealthy Harbinger in the game.

Who is Vodyanitsa?

Out of the three, Vodyanitsa is surprisingly the character we know the least about. She was first mentioned in Linnea’s drip marketing description and introduced with the title of Prima Soprano of the Korolevskiy Troupe.

She is mentioned again in Linnea’s “About Vodyanitsa” voiceline, where Linnea describes her as a singer in an opera house and mentions how her voice impresses audiences. In the “To Snezhnaya and the Future” livestream, developers also mentioned that the Traveler will meet a singer in Snezhnaya.

That is everything we know about Vodyanitsa. She might be a character who introduces us to the nation and culture of Snezhnaya, similar to Kinich and Mualani in Natlan or Lauma in Nod-Krai.
