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

HoYoverse has unveiled details for Honkai: Star Rail's 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

The spotlight shines on Rappa, a new 5-star Galaxy Ranger character who identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay incorporates ninjutsu, mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and even rap! Rappa's mission is to hunt down the villainous Evil Ninja Osaru. Her ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, offers a unique first-person perspective, allowing players to decimate enemies and significantly reduce their Toughness.

Version 2.6 Events

The "Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription" event lets players manage a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa for an electrifying performance. Limited-time banner reruns feature 5-star characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron, and Aventurine, appearing in the warp event during the update's first and second halves.

Simulated Universe Expansion

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 significantly expands the Simulated Universe. Following the success of Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears, the third DLC, "The Unknowable Domain," introduces a massive void connected to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts involving scholars and the powerful Scepter system – an external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons. Players will collect, upgrade, and synergize Scepters to defeat a challenging final boss.
