What to know

  • Dornman Port has existed in Genshin Impact lore since launch but has never been playable
  • Multiple reliable leaks point to it unlocking in Version 6.4
  • It’s expected to be Mondstadt’s largest trade hub, similar in scale to Liyue Harbor
  • HoYoverse has not officially confirmed the map yet

Dornman Port has been quietly built up for years through NPC dialogue, character voicelines, and seasonal events. With Version 6.4 leaks consistently pointing toward its arrival, it’s shaping up to be one of Mondstadt’s most important expansions to date.

What Dornman Port is in Genshin Impact lore

Dornman Port is a long-established harbor town tied directly to Mondstadt’s economy. You’ve likely heard it mentioned across quests, events, and voicelines without ever seeing it on the map.

Lore references confirm that it functions as a key trading harbor supplying Mondstadt. During the Weinlesefest, Eula and her Reconnaissance Company patrol routes between Mondstadt City and the port. Other characters such as Yanfei and Beidou reference trade and maritime activity linked to the area.

Dornman Port is also widely cited as the birthplace of Mona, and recurring event NPC Liben frequently mentions it during Marvelous Merchandise events.

Geographically, the port is believed to sit north of Mondstadt, potentially close to Snezhnaya’s borders, which may explain why it has remained inaccessible until now.

Dornman Port’s leaked arrival in Version 6.4

While HoYoverse has not made an official announcement, datamines and consistent leak reports indicate Dornman Port will be the headline map expansion in Version 6.4.

Leaks describe it as Mondstadt’s primary commercial harbor, comparable in scale and importance to Liyue Harbor. Unlike smaller settlements, Dornman Port is expected to be a fully explorable urban zone with docks, warehouses, and surrounding terrain.

Reports also suggest that the Dandelion Sea will not arrive in this patch, positioning Dornman Port as the central focus of 6.4’s exploration content.

Leak status vs official confirmation

At the moment, Dornman Port’s inclusion in Version 6.4 remains leak-based. Multiple independent sources align on its arrival, but HoYoverse has not publicly confirmed the map or its exact scope.

Details such as layout, story focus, and character involvement could still change before the update goes live.

Version roadmap based on current leaks

PatchExpected major content
6.3Nod-Krai expansions
6.4Dornman Port unlock
6.5Possible Hyperborea or Asmoday-related zones
Later 6.xAdditional northern map expansions

If Dornman Port arrives as expected, it would mark Mondstadt’s first major expansion since the early days of the game. Beyond new exploration, it may signal a broader narrative shift toward northern regions and set the stage for future Snezhnaya-related content.

For long-time players, it’s also the payoff to years of lore buildup finally turning into a playable space.
