As the current phase of the Honkai: Star Rail patch nears completion, the developers are actively preparing for the next update. Version 2.6 promises a wealth of new content and exciting events, with the first step being a stream scheduled for October 11, 2024. During the broadcast, the development team will present all the major innovations that will appear in the game with the update's release on October 23, 2024.

The stream will reveal story content that continues the Exploration line. One of the key events will be the return of the "Astral Express" to the planet Penakonia, where players will face new challenges. The main gaming event will take place here, involving factions such as the "Galactic Rangers" and the "Society of Geniuses." Leading roles in the new story will be played by Rappa, Butthill, Dr. Racio, Herta, Aventurine, and Acheron, with the central theme revolving around freeing Sunday from the custody of KMM.

New Heroes and Events in Update 2.6

The main playable character of patch 2.6 will be the new heroine Rappa (Erudition: Imaginary), a colleague of Butthill. She will appear in the first banner of the update, and according to leaks, her skills are expected to be crucial for overcoming some challenging stages in the game. In addition to her, players will also have access to the Moon Devourer (Destruction: Imaginary), which will also be available in the first phase of the patch.

In the second phase of the update, reruns of two popular characters will take place: Aventurine (Preservation: Imaginary) and Acheron (The Nothing: Electric). This means that players will once again have the opportunity to strengthen their teams with proven heroes whose abilities have already been established in previous updates.

When and How to Watch the Stream

The official stream dedicated to update 2.6 will take place on October 11, 2024, at 14:30 (UTC). The broadcast is expected to last about 30 minutes, as the update content is not particularly extensive. Nevertheless, this short stream promises a wealth of interesting details, along with three exclusive promo codes that will grant players valuable rewards, including star jade.
