Genshin Impact’s “Where Mercy Endures” OST Arrives With 102 Tracks

HOYO-MiX has released Genshin Impact – Where Mercy Endures (Original Game Soundtrack), a substantial new album built around the game’s current Snezhnaya era. The official Apple Music listing dates the release to September 14, 2026 and credits the collection to HOYO-MiX, with the copyright notice reading ℗ 2026 miHoYo.

The numbers immediately set this release apart. Where Mercy Endures contains 102 tracks across four discs, with a combined running time of approximately three hours and 26 minutes. It is also larger than July’s The Shimmering Voyage Vol. 6, which collected 92 pieces across four discs. Rather than functioning as a short promotional EP, the new album provides an extensive musical record of Genshin Impact’s latest story, locations, battles and character moments.

A four-disc tour through the latest Genshin Impact music

Apple’s catalog separates the soundtrack into four discs. Disc 1 contains 26 tracks and runs for just over an hour, while Disc 2 contains 34 tracks and also reaches roughly one hour. Disc 3 adds 32 tracks across about 55 minutes, and the shorter Disc 4 closes the collection with 10 tracks and approximately 29 minutes of music.

The title track, “Where Mercy Endures,” opens the first disc. Other early titles include “Unraveling of Nocturnal Souls,” “Silver Illumination,” “Afterglow Over Silver Waters” and “Flowers of Nostalgia and Hope.” Even without assigning individual tracks to specific quests or scenes, those names reflect the album’s recurring imagery of moonlight, frozen landscapes, memory and loss.

Disc 2 moves through pieces such as “Requiem of Fallen Blossoms,” “Grieving of the Past,” “Kalpas of Eternity” and “Memories in Motion.” Its final two tracks, “Unyielding Icy Wind” and “Swift Advance,” have attracted particular attention because of a claim that they have not yet been used in the game.

The third disc includes titles such as “Memories of Old Dreams,” “In the Name of Duty,” “With Sorrow and Devotion,” “A Repose Beyond This Life,” “Dance of Homecoming” and “The Stirring of Storms.” Disc 4 finishes the album with a smaller set that includes “Lone Wanderer’s Lament,” “All This Was for You,” “Song of Sorrows,” “Ballad of Many Waters” and “Frost and Flame.”

Why “Unyielding Icy Wind” and “Swift Advance” stand out

A September 15 post from the Seele Leaks Telegram channel highlighted “Unyielding Icy Wind” and “Swift Advance,” describing both as tracks that remain unreleased in-game. Apple Music independently confirms that the two recordings exist as part of the official album: they are listed as tracks 33 and 34 on Disc 2, with running times of approximately two minutes and two seconds and one minute and 36 seconds, respectively.

What the official listing does not confirm is when, where or whether either track will appear during gameplay. GamesAndChill could not independently verify Seele Leaks’ assertion that the pieces have never been used in the live game, so that detail should be treated as an attributed observation rather than an official announcement.

Their placement at the end of Disc 2 is still notable, but it does not establish a connection to any unreleased character, boss, area or quest. Soundtrack albums can include alternate arrangements, music heard only briefly, compositions reserved for future scenes or pieces that were created but ultimately assigned a different role. Until HoYoverse uses the tracks in a clearly identifiable context, their titles alone are not enough to support a more specific theory.

That distinction matters because the album itself is an official release, while the claim about the tracks’ in-game status comes from a third-party aggregator. The safest conclusion is that HOYO-MiX has released both pieces publicly, and their exact narrative context remains uncertain.

An official release rather than a soundtrack leak

Although the album first surfaced in the monitored leak feed, Where Mercy Endures should be treated as official Genshin Impact news. Apple Music identifies HOYO-MiX as the artist, supplies the full 102-track catalog and carries miHoYo’s copyright credit. The release can be streamed directly through the platform rather than being available only through reposted audio or screenshots.

The album artwork also matches the collection’s wintry direction. It places the Genshin Impact logo and Where Mercy Endures title above a snow-covered city dominated by a pale palace, icy ornamentation and a bright blue crystalline structure. The visual presentation reinforces the soundtrack’s focus on the game’s northern setting without revealing any additional story information on its own.

The four-disc structure gives listeners several ways to approach the release. Players looking for recognizable exploration and story music can move through the album in sequence, while those interested in the two discussed tracks can find them at the very end of Disc 2. With more than three hours of material, the collection is also a more comprehensive document of the current era than a typical version-trailer album or small set of promotional singles.

Where the album fits in Genshin Impact’s 2026 music catalog

HOYO-MiX has already released several major Genshin Impact collections in 2026. Footprints of the Traveler Vol. 5 gathered themes from the Luna I through Luna VIII version trailers, while The Shimmering Voyage Vol. 6 assembled 92 tracks connected to the Song of the Welkin Moon period. Where Mercy Endures extends that run with an even larger 102-track package and a more concentrated focus on the music surrounding the latest northern chapter.

For players following the soundtrack as closely as the game’s quests and character releases, the album provides an official reference point for track names that may previously have been difficult to identify. It also allows future scenes to be compared against a complete commercial release instead of relying on unofficial uploads or fan-assigned titles.

The immediate facts are straightforward: Where Mercy Endures is available on Apple Music, contains 102 tracks, spans four discs and lasts roughly three hours and 26 minutes. The more speculative question is whether “Unyielding Icy Wind” and “Swift Advance” will gain a recognizable in-game role in a coming update. For now, listeners can hear both tracks officially, but their intended context remains unconfirmed.
