Explore Paperfold University’s Festive Anniversary In Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6!

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, "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 bustling campus atmosphere.

New Character: Rappa

The highlight of version 2.6 is the introduction of Rappa, a 5-star Galaxy Ranger who identifies as a ninja. Her gameplay revolves around ninjutsu, incorporating mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and rap elements. Rappa's quest focuses on hunting down the villainous Evil Ninja Osaru. Her ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, features a first-person perspective, allowing players to decimate enemies and significantly reduce their Toughness.

Events and Updates

Several events are planned for version 2.6:

• Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription: Players manage a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa for a spectacular performance.
• Warp Event: Limited 5-star characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron, and Aventurine return in the warp event during both halves of the update.

The Simulated Universe receives a major expansion, surpassing the scale of previous updates like Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears. The third DLC, "The Unknowable Domain," introduces a vast void connected to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts over the Scepter system—a powerful external thinking unit. Players will gather Scepters, upgrade them using Components, and leverage synergistic abilities to defeat a challenging final boss.
