The Ver.7.0 update, Snow Country Unloved by the Gods, lands August 12 and finally opens Snezhnaya, the last of the seven nations. A hands-on report from the PC version describes a region ruled by the Cryo Archangel, home to the Fatui headquarters and connected by trains. The capital Snezhnaya-grad includes landmarks like the Korolevsky Theater and Snezhnaya Palace.
New characters Odette and Alyosha join the roster. The Eye of the Grayai, a glasses-type device, drives new mechanics: True Ice Creations let players manipulate field objects and reshape terrain, while a full TPS mode goes beyond mini-game scope.
