Celebrate Paperfold University

HoYoverse has unveiled exciting details about the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail version 2.6 update, titled "Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age," set to launch on October 23rd. In this update, players will explore the vibrant world of Penacony, specifically diving into the bustling environment of Paperfold University, which is celebrating both a new semester and its anniversary. The university is alive with student activities, including club recruitment, music, and various academic events.

The highlight of this update is the introduction of Rappa, a new 5-star character and a Galaxy Ranger who identifies as a ninja. Rappa's gameplay revolves around her 'ninjutsu' abilities, featuring ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and rap. Her mission is to track down the notorious Evil Ninja Osaru. In combat, Rappa's ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, offers a first-person perspective, allowing players to slice through enemies and significantly reduce their Toughness.

Events in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6

One of the key events in this update is the Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription, where players will manage a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa to deliver an unforgettable performance.

The warp event will see the return of limited 5-star characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron, and Aventurine during the first and second halves of the update. You can catch all the action in the version 2.6 trailer below:

The Simulated Universe is also receiving a significant update with the introduction of the third DLC, the Unknowable Domain. This expansion delves into the aftermath of the Second Emperor's War, focusing on the conflict over the Scepter system. The Scepter, an incredibly powerful external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons, is central to this storyline. Players will collect Scepters, upgrade them with Components, and create powerful synergies to defeat a formidable final boss.
