Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6: Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age Arrives October 23rd!

HoYoverse has unveiled details for the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail version 2.6 update, titled "Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age," launching October 23rd. This update transports players to Penacony and its vibrant Paperfold University, celebrating its anniversary with a bustling campus atmosphere.

New Character and Gameplay: Rappa

The spotlight shines on Rappa, a new 5-star Galaxy Ranger character who identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay revolves around ninjutsu, incorporating ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and even rap. Rappa's quest involves hunting down the villainous Evil Ninja Osaru. Her ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, features a first-person perspective, allowing players to decimate enemies and significantly reduce their Toughness.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 Events

• Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription: Manage a band and collaborate with Rappa to deliver an unforgettable performance at the Dreamlight Anniversary music party.

• Warp Event: The limited 5-star characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron, and Aventurine return in the warp event, spanning both halves of the update.

Simulated Universe Expansion

The Simulated Universe receives a significant expansion in version 2.6. Following the success of Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears, players can anticipate an even more substantial challenge. The third DLC, "The Unknowable Domain," introduces a massive void connected to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts among scholars over the Scepter system – a powerful external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons. Players will gather Scepters, upgrade them using Components, and leverage synergistic effects to defeat a formidable final boss.
