Here is the Honkai: Star Rail trailer designed to prepare us for things to come before the release date for 2.6. It features Penacony activities prominently, as well as stars Rappa. It teases a campaign quest that involves the Galaxy Rangers Boothill and Rappa, alongside the Trailblazer, dealing with a threat to Penacony. There’s also a concert with Robin shown. 

The video also let us know about some of the activities we’ll see once this update rolls out. There will be a Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription one that involves making music and a rhythm game. A Ninja Record: Sound Hunt Light Cone will be tied to that. Another event called Mr. Cold Feet’s Pop-Up Shop will star Sampo as the featured character as he runs a shop. Shadow of the Ranger assignments will appear for a limited time. We can also challenge Simulated Universe: Unknowable Domain. Finally a new Cavern of Corrosion will offer Scholar Lost in Erudition and Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal equipment sets.

You can also see the whole Special Program for 2.6 below.

In addition to knowing what will appear at the end of the month, we also know what is coming to Honkai: Star Rail in the future. The next two new characters for 2.7 will be ones who featured prominently in the story. One is Fugue, a new version of Tingyun, and the other is Sunday. Both of them will be five-stars.

Honkai: Star Rail is available on the PS5, PC, and the release date for the 2.6 update is October 23, 2024.
