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 bustling campus atmosphere filled with club activities, music, and academic events.

The Spotlight: Rappa, the New 5-Star Character

The star of the show is Rappa, a new 5-star Galaxy Ranger who also identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay revolves around ninjutsu, incorporating ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and even rap. Rappa's mission? To hunt 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 to deliver an unforgettable performance.
• 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 major expansion in version 2.6. Following the success of Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears, the third DLC, "The Unknowable Domain," introduces a vast void linked to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts among scholars vying for control of the Scepter—a powerful external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons. Players will gather Scepters, upgrade them using Components, create strategic synergies, and confront a challenging final boss.
