What’s In the New Honkai: Star Rail Update?

The Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 update will take us on an adventure to the brand new world of Penacony with the continuation of main story mission “Long Days Journey Into Night.” Penacony will be one of the most interesting planets we’ve visited thus far in Honkai: Star Rail, so get ready to see a stunning world where dreams are everything. You’ll be walking up walls, fighting sentient trashcan enemies, seeing the true nature of Sampo and meeting brand new characters such as Black Swan, while also experiencing new events and getting generous rewards.

Speaking of Black Swan she’s a 5 Star Wind Nihility character who’ll be featuring as the main new special banner character in update 2.0. She’ll be a very powerful addition to damage over time teams and if you have a Kafka team she’ll be well worth considering as a direct upgrade to Sampo! We’ll also get 4 Star Ice Destruction character Misha who looks like some good fun with some silly skills like crushing enemies with his hotel luggage cart.

That covers off when you can jump into the exciting new 2.0 update for Honkai: Star Rail. You can look forward to experiencing Penacony on either February 5 or 6, depending on your region.

Honkai: Star Rail is available on various platforms now. If you’re looking for more, check out our tier list of all the characters in Honkai: Star Rail, which we refresh regularly to accommodate new patches and updates.
