Star Rail's Anniversary: Paperfold University Rejoices!

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, "Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age," launching October 23rd. This update transports players to Penacony and its vibrant Paperfold University, bustling with the energy of a new semester and anniversary celebrations.

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 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 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 for an electrifying performance. Limited-time banner reruns feature 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 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.
