Explore Paperfold University’s Festive Anniversary In Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6!

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 also identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay revolves around ninjutsu, incorporating ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and rap elements. 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.

Version 2.6 Events

The "Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription" event challenges players to manage a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa to deliver a memorable performance. Limited-time warp events will feature the return of 5-star characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron, and Aventurine during the update's first and second halves.

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 among scholars vying for control of the Scepter—a powerful external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons. Players must gather Scepters, upgrade them using Components, and leverage synergistic effects to defeat a challenging final boss.
