Honkai: Star Rail's Anniversary Jubilee Revealed in Paperfold University

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 flurry of student activities, club recruitment drives, and academic events.

The Spotlight: Rappa

The update's star attraction is Rappa, a new 5-star Galaxy Ranger character who identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay revolves around ninjutsu, incorporating ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and even rap. Rappa's mission: hunt down the villainous Evil Ninja Osaru. Her ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, offers 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: Players manage a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa for an electrifying performance.

• Warp Event: The 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

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 linked to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts among scholars vying for control of the Scepter—a powerful external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons. Players must collect Scepters, upgrade them using Components, and leverage strategic synergies to defeat a challenging final boss.
