Honkai: Star Rail version 2.6 takes players back to Penacony and introduces a new 5-star character

  • Honkai: Star Rail version 2.6 is taking players back to Penacony and Paperfold University
  • There’s also a new 5-star character to meet with Rappa
  • The Simulated Universe DLC is also set to receive a major update

As a seasoned gamer with years of gaming experience under my belt, I must admit that I’m always eagerly anticipating new updates from MiHoYo, the masterminds behind some of my favorite games. The latest news about Honkai: Star Rail version 2.6 has me all pumped up!


Although Zenless Zone Zero currently leads the rankings, MiHoYo’s other popular games won’t be lacking in fresh content. For instance, Honkai: Star Rail, the latest release, is almost ready for launch and promises to return players to the well-loved destination of Penacony!

Following our thrilling escapade in Xianzhou, I find myself returning to Penacony for another round, this time visiting the illustrious Paperfold University as esteemed guests of the Astral Express crew. There’s a fresh mission on the horizon too, humorously titled Banana Outrage: Battles Without Ninja and Humanity, which promises an exciting challenge!

In the meantime, a fresh 5-star character is ready to enlist – Rappa, the Cosmic Ranger, who has an unusual fascination with Ninjas, joins the action. Additionally, the latest expansion for the Simulated Universe DLC is out now, offering you novel challenges and adversaries to conquer. This update will be available on all platforms starting October 23rd!


All aboard

MiHoYo has, as is frequently noted, successfully created three incredibly successful games. At present, it appears they are balancing content between all three quite effectively, but there’s a question of whether they may have taken on too much. Only time will tell if this becomes an issue, but I suspect additional projects might stretch their resources thin.

Instead of feeling annoyed while you wait for the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail release, consider exploring some games featured in our weekly roundup highlighting the top 5 exciting new mobile games to dive into right now!
