HoYoverse has just 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. This update takes players to the vibrant world of Penacony and introduces the bustling Paperfold University, which is gearing up for a new semester and its anniversary celebration. The university is alive with student activities, from club recruitments to music events and academic festivities.

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 unique abilities revolve around 'ninjutsu,' incorporating ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and rap into her gameplay. Her mission is to track down the notorious Evil Ninja Osaru. In combat, Rappa's ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, offers a thrilling first-person perspective, allowing players to slice through enemies and reduce their Toughness effectively.

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 excitement in the official 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, where scholars battled over the Scepter system. The Scepter, an incredibly powerful external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons, is central to this new content. Players will collect Scepters, upgrade them with Components, and create powerful synergies to defeat a formidable final boss.
