In the recently released Version 2.6 of Apocalyptic Shadow, speculation surrounding the playable status of character “Sunday” has been rampant. Initially, there were whispers that Sunday would be introduced as a playable character in the Version 2.6 update, but HoYoverse quickly debunked these rumors by announcing Rappa instead. However, more leaks and speculation have arisen, hinting that Sunday might actually appear in Version 2.7.

In the latest updates, HoYoverse has been continuously improving their permanent game modes. The latest version, 2.3, introduced the Divergent Universe, a fresh spin on the popular Simulated Universe game mode, offering unique challenges and perks. Meanwhile, Pure Fiction has undergone multiple changes since its debut, with new adversaries and balance tweaks. This Sunday, the arrival of Apocalyptic Shadow seems promising to provide an exhilarating new test for the most dedicated Star Rail players.
