HoYoverse has unveiled details for the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail 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: Meet Rappa

The spotlight shines on Rappa, a new 5-star Galaxy Ranger character who also identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay incorporates ninjutsu, mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and even rap! Rappa's quest involves hunting down the villainous Evil Ninja Osaru, and her ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, features a first-person perspective, allowing players to decimate 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

The Simulated Universe receives a major overhaul in version 2.6. Following the success of Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears, a third DLC, "The Unknowable Domain," introduces a massive void linked to post-Second Emperor’s War conflicts among scholars vying for control of the Scepter, a powerful external thinking unit. Players will collect, upgrade, and synergize Scepters to defeat a challenging final boss.
