Honkai: Star Rail 1.6 Will Add Pure Fiction Challenges

After Version 1.6 of Honkai: Star Rail goes live on December 27, 2023, a new game mode, Pure Fiction, will come out. There will also be a content update and optimization for Forgotten Hall: Memory of Chaos.

Pure Fiction will be a permanent feature in the game much like Swarm Disaster. It’ll play similarly to Forgotten Hall in which you set up two different parties to face challenges and accumulate points. Like Forgotten Hall, HoYoVerse will update it with new challenges. Before you enter battle, you can choose different buffs for your team. There will be an endless wave of enemies, requiring you to defeat them to rack up points. Depending on your high score, you can get rewards such as Stellar Jades. You can also get Jade Feathers from Pure Fiction and Forgotten Hall that you can exchange for prizes like Self-Modeling Resin.

As for the Forgotten Hall update, stages 11 and 12 will open up, granting more opportunities for Stellar Jades. There will also be an auto-clear function. This will allow you to clear previous stages up to stage 7 so that you’re not constantly repeating stages. The game will also optimize the party selection, letting you use the same team as the last one if you want. Finally, Forgotten Hall: Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction will update alternatively, with each cycle lasting two weeks.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Pure Fiction will be a permanent fixture of Honkai: Star Rail after Version 1.6.
