Honkai Star Rail 2.6 Livestream Predictions and Speculations

The Honkai Star Rail 2.6 special program livestream is set to launch in just a few weeks, marking the midway point in Version 2.5. As always, HoYoverse will unveil their plans for the upcoming patch, providing Trailblazers with an exciting preview of new content and experiences awaiting them in the update.

This article will explore the anticipated announcements from the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 special program livestream.

What announcements can players expect from the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 livestream?

As the date of the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 special program livestream approaches, excitement builds around the potential news related to this turn-based gacha game. Among the key announcements anticipated, here are some notable highlights:

New Character Banners and Light Cones

As with most updates, the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 patch is expected to introduce a brand new 5-star character, Rappa. Being a 5-star unit, Rappa will have her signature Light Cone featured prominently in a banner during her character’s live period in the patch. This Galaxy Ranger will follow the Erudition Path while utilizing the Imaginary element.

While Rappa is confirmed as the new 5-star character for this patch, details on another potential character remain uncertain. Typically, HoYoverse releases two new 5-star units per patch, making it unusual to have only one character introduced. Players will need to tune in to the version 2.6 special program livestream for further updates.

New Trailblaze Continuance Mission

HoYoverse is also expected to announce another Trailblaze continuance mission during the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 special program livestream. Given the trend of releasing characters from locations tied to the Trailblaze missions, players are likely to return to Penacony for version 2.6, as Rappa originates from there.

Since Trailblazers are currently engaged in the Xianzhou Luofu for the Wardance event, it is challenging to predict what the developers are preparing for the forthcoming patch.

New Events

Events in Honkai Star Rail serve as a significant draw, keeping players engaged throughout each patch. Besides earning Stellar Jades by completing daily challenges, Trailblazers can accumulate substantial Stellar Jades through event participation.

In addition to events that reward players with Stellar Jades, developers typically introduce events that ramp up Relic and Planar Ornament drop rates, helping players effectively farm for the desired Relic or Ornament sets using Trailblaze Power.
