Honkai: Star Rail reveals everything coming in version 2.7 ahead of its launch next month

• Version 2.7 will conclude the Penacony storyline
• Two new characters – Sunday and Fugue to be introduced
• Version 3.0 will introduce a myriad of new content

The journey aboard the Astral Express continues with Version 2.7 of Honkai: Star Rail, titled A New Venture on the Eighth Dawn. Set to launch on December 4th, the update will conclude the final chapter in the Penacony storyline as the Express charts its course for Amphoreus, the Eternal Land. With a host of fresh content, there’s plenty to explore before the next adventure begins.

The conclusion of the Penacony chapter brings Sunday, a new 5-star Imaginary character to Honkai: Star Rail. His combat abilities focus on enhancing your team’s performance, allowing allies and their summons to act immediately and deal amplified damage. His ultimate skill regenerates energy for teammates and grants excess damage output, while simultaneously boosting critical damage.

Joining Sunday is Fugue, a reimagined version of Tingyun, who narrowly survived her confrontation with Phantylia in an earlier chapter. Now a 5-star Fire character, Fugue excels at breaking through enemies’ defences. Her skills weaken opponents regardless of their vulnerabilities and can also support allies by increasing their ability to deal Break Effect damage. 

If you’ve been waiting for the return of familiar faces, the update features Jing Yuan and Firefly in the limited Warp event. Once you’re through all these threats, you can unwind with a drink in the Party Car or design your personal quarters in the Cosmic Home Décor Guide event.

As for the upcoming version 3.0, there’s a lot to look forward to, including the Path of Remembrance and memosprites. With updates to the Relic system allowing more control over stats, you’ll have new ways to refine your builds as well. To top it off, don’t miss the chance to claim a free 5-star character through the Gift of the Express event, available through Version 3.2.
