Genshin Impact 7.0 Leaks Reveal 140 Cryoculi, New Trade System, Mitya's 5 Star Rarity and Zhongli Buff Claims

A fresh wave of Genshin Impact leaks has surfaced, providing players with new information about Version 7.0 and several updates planned throughout the 7.x cycle. Dataminers continue to uncover content related to the upcoming Snezhnaya region, revealing exploration details, future characters and possible gameplay adjustments that have quickly become major discussion topics within the community.

One of the biggest discoveries is the reported total number of Cryoculi available in Version 7.0. According to the latest leak, players will be able to collect 140 Cryoculi during the initial Snezhnaya release. This amount would allow travelers to upgrade the Statue of The Seven to Level 6 with 15 out of 32 Cryoculi required for the next level already collected.

This progression strongly suggests that additional Cryoculi will be introduced in future Snezhnaya map expansions throughout the 7.x update cycle, following the same regional exploration pattern previously seen in Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine and Natlan.

Leaked Snezhnaya Trade System Could Introduce Player to Player Item Trading

Another interesting feature mentioned in the latest Genshin Impact 7.0 leaks is a new Snezhnaya Trade System, reportedly centered around an item called the Prime Ice Construct Storage Device. According to the leaked information, this system would allow players to trade certain resources directly with other players, marking one of the most significant social features rumored for the game so far.

• The leak claims that trading will be limited to items found in the Food and Materials inventory categories. Players would reportedly be able to exchange regional character ascension materials, including local specialties and collectible creatures such as insects. However, boss drops will not be tradable, preventing players from bypassing combat-related progression.

To maintain balance, the system is also said to include a daily trade limit, restricting the number of exchanges that can be completed each day. While the exact limits and mechanics remain unknown, the feature could make it easier for players to obtain regional materials needed for character ascensions while preserving the importance of boss encounters.

• Another notable leak claims that Mitya has now been confirmed as a 5 Star character. While previous rumors had already pointed toward a high rarity release, recent datamining reportedly reinforces that Mitya will join the roster as a premium character in a future 7.x update. Although gameplay details remain limited, this confirmation has generated considerable excitement among players waiting for more information about the upcoming Snezhnaya cast.

• The leaks also mention early plans for the next Lantern Rite Festival, bringing unexpected news for two popular Liyue characters. According to current reports, Zhongli is allegedly receiving kit buffs, potentially making the Geo Archon even stronger than his current version.

• At the same time, Xiao is rumored to finally receive a brand new character skin, something fans have requested for years.

Neither of these Lantern Rite claims has been officially acknowledged by HoYoverse, making them among the most speculative pieces of information currently circulating. Even so, the possibility of a Zhongli buff has already become one of the most discussed topics across the leak community due to the character's enduring popularity.

• Another interesting discovery focuses on Valeriy, one of the upcoming Snezhnaya characters. Leakers have shared a reference describing Valeriy's Rush Attack animation, showing the character performing the attack while carrying a shield in one hand. The leak also notes that Valeriy's full character model is currently absent from the beta build and is expected to be added during the game's predownload phase before Version 7.0 launches.

Although only a reference animation is currently available, this information provides one of the earliest glimpses at Valeriy's combat style and suggests that additional animations and gameplay footage may appear once the predownload files become available.

• Exploration leaks continue with another important reveal concerning Snezhnaya's Shrines of Depths. According to the latest information, Version 7.0 will feature four Shrines of Depths distributed across the Snezhnaya map. Their exact coordinates have not yet been detailed publicly, but their reported placement across different regions indicates that exploration will remain a significant part of the initial update.

As always, players should approach these reports with caution. All leaked information remains unofficial, originates from beta testing and datamining efforts and may be modified, delayed or removed entirely before HoYoverse releases the final version. Balance changes, character rarities, cosmetics and exploration content frequently evolve throughout beta development, making it important to wait for official announcements before considering any of these details final.

Despite that uncertainty, these latest Genshin Impact 7.0 leaks continue to build anticipation for the arrival of Snezhnaya, with new exploration objectives, future premium characters and long rumored improvements for some of the game's most iconic heroes.
