The sci-fi RPG, known for its engaging content and expansive world, continues to captivate players with new updates and features following the release of the Penacony world earlier this year.
What to Expect in Version 2.6
According to a leak from Honkai: Star Rail insider Sakura Haven, Version 2.6 will return players to the Penacony world, introducing new story content that promises to match the depth and length of the narrative from Version 2.3.

In addition to new characters, Version 2.6 will feature several notable updates. While no new event Light Cone or Light Cone from the Herta Store will be introduced, a new Light Cone will be available through the gacha system. The update will also include a new Relic set, adding to the game's diverse gear options.
The leak also suggests that HoYoverse might be preparing to test new characters for the game's next world, which is expected to launch early next year. This could mean even more exciting content on the horizon for dedicated fans.
