Genshin Impact launched in Version 1.0 with Mondstadt and Liyue, then steadily expanded through Dragonspine, Inazuma, Enkanomiya, The Chasm, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, Nod-Krai, and other permanent subregions. Version 7.0, Everwinter Without Mercy, opened Snezhnaya on August 12, 2026. You can also check the current Genshin 7.0 banner while exploring the new region.
This Genshin Impact map guide lists the major permanent regions from Version 1.0 through 7.0 in release order. You can check when each area was added, whether it belongs to the main Teyvat map or a separate layer, and use the official Genshin Impact interactive map directly on this page.

HoYoLAB expanded the interactive map alongside the game: Sumeru arrived in Version 3.0, Fontaine added underwater exploration in Version 4.0, Natlan followed in Version 5.0, Nod-Krai opened in Luna I, and Snezhnaya was added with Version 7.0.
Some pins look close together on the main view but sit on different underground, underwater, or elevated layers. Check the layer selector before traveling, especially in Sumeru, Fontaine, The Chasm, Nod-Krai, and other multi-layered areas.

Genshin Impact Version 7.0 Map
Version 7.0, Everwinter Without Mercy, went live on August 12, 2026 and made Snezhnaya explorable for the first time. The initial release includes Volkodlak Tundra, White Birch Snowgrave, Everfrozen Earth, Flamefeather Valley, and Fellfrost Peak.
If you have completed Archon Quest Prologue: Act III Song of the Dragon and Freedom, a Teleport Waypoint southwest of Volkodlak Tundra unlocks automatically, giving you a direct route into Snezhnaya. The region is part of the main Teyvat map and can be explored through the official interactive map above.

Which Genshin Impact Maps Are Separate from Teyvat?
Most regions are connected to the main Teyvat map, but several areas use separate map screens or independent exploration layers.
Enkanomiya

Enkanomiya is an underground civilization accessed through Watatsumi Island. It uses its own map instead of appearing directly on the standard Inazuma overworld.
The Chasm: Underground Mines

The Chasm's surface is part of Liyue, while The Chasm: Underground Mines opens on a separate map with multiple internal layers.
Sea of Bygone Eras

The Sea of Bygone Eras is accessed through Petrichor and its related questline. It uses its own map and contains dedicated underwater exploration routes.
Frost Moon and Lunar Areas

Luna VIII’s lunar exploration areas use special layers connected to the “Moon Gazing” quest. Access depends on quest progression rather than ordinary travel across Teyvat.
Do not confuse multi-layered maps with fully separate maps. Regions such as Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya can contain underground or elevated layers while still belonging to the main regional map.
Permanent Maps vs Limited-Time Maps
The timeline above focuses on permanent areas that remain available after their release version ends.
Genshin Impact has also used temporary maps for summer events and other limited-time content. These areas disappear after their event version ends, so they are not included in the permanent map timeline.
If you are looking for an older event map, check whether the area was temporary before trying to reach it in the current version.
Easybreeze Holiday Resort is an important exception. It was associated with Version 5.8’s summer content, but the area itself is permanent.
How to Use the Map for Efficient Exploration
Enable only the markers related to your current goal. Showing every chest, enemy, puzzle, resource, and collectible at once can make dense areas hard to read.
Complete major regional World Quests before starting a full collection route. In areas such as Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, Nod-Krai, Enkanomiya, and The Chasm, quests can unlock entrances, remove barriers, change terrain, or reveal new map layers.
Clear one subregion at a time. Finishing one Inazuma island or one Sumeru desert area before moving on makes it easier to track completed pins and spot anything you missed.
Check elevation and map layers before traveling. A nearby pin may actually be inside a tunnel, underground chamber, or elevated route with an entrance much farther away.
For material farming, combine Local Specialties, enemy drops, and nearby Teleport Waypoints in the same route. Short regional loops are usually easier to repeat than one route covering an entire nation.

Conclusion
From Mondstadt and Liyue in Version 1.0 to Snezhnaya in Version 7.0, the Genshin Impact map has grown into a network of nations, islands, deserts, underwater areas, underground regions, and separate exploration maps.
Use the version timeline when you want to check when a region was added, and use the HoYoLAB interactive map above when you need exact locations for collectibles, enemies, resources, or waypoints.
