Genshin Impact brings Nod-Krai to gamescom 2025 with first look at Flins

August 20, 2025 John Silver Comments

HoYoverse used gamescom 2025 to pull back the curtain on Genshin Impact’s next stop on the map. The studio’s free-to-play, open-world action RPG is heading to Nod-Krai, and the Cologne show floor offered the first in-game glimpse of its newest playable hero, Flins. Visitors can explore a themed booth that recreates the upcoming region while those at home catch the reveal trailer online.

This marks the fifth straight year the massively popular live-service title has appeared at gamescom. Past expansions like Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine each arrived with new mechanics, cultures, and story arcs, so the Nod-Krai showcase signals where the main narrative will travel next. HoYoverse is pairing the reveal with both on-site activities and livestreams, reflecting the broad audience the game now commands across PC, PlayStation, and mobile.

First trailer: Flins is introduced as a Lightkeeper warrior defending Nod-Krai from the Wild Hunt.
Immersive booth: Hall 6, stand C031 features faction exhibits, a cooperative mini-challenge, live music, and cosplay.
Limited merch and food: Exclusive items and a HoYoverse Café menu are available to attendees.
Remote coverage: Rocket Beans TV is streaming daily segments for fans who cannot attend.
Dates: The booth runs August 20-24, backed by partners UGREEN and HOLY.
