Honkai: Star Rail Begins New Chapter, Bids Farewell to Penacony

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.7: "A New Venture on the Eighth Dawn" Arrives December 4th

Honkai: Star Rail's Version 2.7 update, titled "A New Venture on the Eighth Dawn," launches on mobile devices December 4th. This chapter concludes the Penacony storyline before the Astral Express journeys to the enigmatic Amphoreus, the Eternal Land.

Final Preparations in Penacony

Version 2.7 wraps up the Penacony arc. Following Black Swan's suggestion, the crew prepares for their departure, reconnecting with friends and enjoying a farewell performance at the Grand Theater. This performance introduces two new characters: Sunday and Fugue.

Sunday, the former head of the Oak Family, aided by the mischievous Pepeshi, Wonweek, delivers a spectacular final act. As a 5-star Imaginary character, his Ultimate ability focuses on energy regeneration, bestowing the "Beatified" buff on a teammate and their summon.

Fugue, previously known as Tingyun, makes her return following the events of Version 1.2. Recovering from a near-fatal encounter, she now utilizes her enhanced abilities.

Fugue is a 5-star Fire character specializing in breaking enemy defenses. Her Ultimate unleashes a powerful fiery attack, significantly reducing enemy Toughness and dealing substantial Fire DMG. View a sneak peek of Sunday, Fugue, and other Version 2.7 additions in the trailer below.

Version 2.7 introduces exciting Warp events featuring the return of General Jing Yuan (first half) and Firefly (second half).

A new addition to the Astral Express is the Party Car—a luxurious marble bar with a robotic bartender, offering a unique relaxation space.

The "Cosmic Home Décor Guide" event lets players personalize their storage room using Express Funds earned from completing tasks. Furnish your space with collected items, creating a cozy bedroom, bathroom, and more.
