Honkai: Star Rail Anniversary Soars High with Paperfold U.

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 identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay revolves around ninjutsu, incorporating ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and rap elements. Rappa's quest focuses on 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.

Events and Updates

The "Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription" event tasks players with managing a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa for a spectacular performance. Limited-time banner reruns feature 5-star characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron, and Aventurine, available during the first and second halves of the update.

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 composed of inorganic bionic neurons – to create synergistic combinations and defeat a challenging final boss.
