Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6: "Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age" Arrives October 23rd!
HoYoverse has unveiled details for Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming 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 flurry of student activities, club recruitment drives, and academic events.
The Spotlight: Rappa, the New 5-Star Character
The update's star attraction is Rappa, a 5-star Galaxy Ranger who also happens to be a ninja. Employing ninjutsu, mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and even rap, Rappa is on a mission to track down the villainous Evil Ninja Osaru. Her ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, features a first-person perspective, allowing players to slice through enemies and significantly reduce their Toughness.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 Events
- Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription: Manage a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa for an unforgettable performance.
- Warp Event: 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
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 also 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. Players will collect and upgrade powerful Scepters (external thinking units) to overcome challenging synergies and defeat a final boss.
