To Be Released in the Latter Game Updates

The Tsaritsa is expected to be released within this year or the next following the launch of Snezhnaya. Since the Cryo nation is set to release on August 12, 2026, expect the Tsaritsa to make her official appearance very soon.

Who Is the Tsaritsa?

Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya

In the newest Snezhnaya Teaser, the Tsaritsa was finally revealed through the recent trailer called Transcendence Trailer - Sudden Snow. She was revealed at the end of the video, confronting Ronova and also talking to Rhinedottir.

Her Royal Highness and Leader of the Fatui

The Tsaritsa is the current Archon and monarch of Snezhnaya who reigns in the Zapolyarny Palace.. Alongside having the Cryo Gnosis, it was made known very early on that she is the one who holds the highest command over an ambitious organization known as the Fatui.

Directly underneath her are the Eleven Harbingers, who all exercise some form of authority over the lower-ranking members.

Gnoses Collection, Project Stuzha and the Heavenly Principles

The penultimate goal of the Tsaritsa and subsequently the Fatui is to collect all the elemental gnoses that are in the possession of the other Archons.

What this goal leads to is currently unknown, but in the video teaser above, the three Shades openly mention that the Tsaritsa has set her sights on the Heavenly Principles (Phanes), so it can be assumed that the Gnoses may be involved with this plan one way or another.

The Cataclysm

In the last portion of the Song of the Dragon and Freedom Archon Quest, Venti can be asked about the Tsaritsa, and he will reveal that the events of the Cataclysm dating back 500 years ago seemed to have affected her greatly. He may have had some sort of connection with her prior to this, seeing as she 'cut all ties with him' following said Cataclysm.

Whatever happened during that time may be the Tsaritsa's underlying motive to all her plans surrounding the gnoses and the Heavenly Principles.

The Tsaritsa Element & Weapon

The Tsaritsa - Weapon

Voicelines About the Tsaritsa

Voicelines About the Tsaritsa
Childe	Her Royal Highness the Tsaritsa is actually a gentle soul. Too gentle, in fact, and that's why she had to harden herself. Likewise, she declared war against the whole world only because she dreams of peace. And because she made an enemy of the world, I had the chance to become acquainted with you.
Wanderer	Everyone praises her for her kindness and benevolence, but they forget that love is also a form of sin. What if she's just trying to compensate for something?
Arlecchino	When I was imprisoned, it was the Tsaritsa who pardoned me and gave me the title of Harbinger. I could sense she was a person of true sincerity and compassion, unlike all those pompous hypocrites with their posturing and rhetoric. Yet... It's difficult to say whether her compassion alone is enough to melt the ice and snow that permeates her land. All I can say is this... If we are forced to be at odds one day, I will raise my weapon against her without hesitation, because that is the greatest level of respect I am able to bestow.
Columbina	The first time I sang in the gardens of Zapolyarny Palace, the Tsaritsa happened to pass by. She stood there, silent and motionless, like a statue with no expression carved onto the face. For a moment, I felt as if she wanted to say something to me, but she never did. She seals her emotions beneath thick sheets of ice. The outside world sees but one side of who she is... that of the Tsaritsa. If the answers I sought rest on the moon, perhaps hers lie buried in snow and ice.
Flins	Although Nod-Krai is technically a part of Snezhnaya, you won't hear us habitually refer to "Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa." ...Who's "us"? Hehe... The Lightkeepers, of course... Who else?
