What announcements to expect from the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 livestream?

With each day, the commencement of Honkai Star Rail 2.6 special program livestream is coming closer. The developers are expected to announce various news related to this turn-based gacha game. Out of all the major announcements, listed below are some of the notable ones:

New character banners and Light Cones

As expected from most updates, the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 patch will introduce a brand new 5-star character, Rappa, in the game. Since she is a 5-star unit, Rappa will have her signature Light Cone featured in a banner while her character banner is live during the patch. This Galaxy Ranger will be treading on the Erudition Path while utilizing the Imaginary element.

Apart from Rappa being the new 5-star character of the upcoming patch, it is still uncertain who will be the other one. As HoYoverse usually releases two new 5-star units every patch it is quite unusual for them to release only one character in an update. Therefore, players will have to wait for the version 2.6 special program livestream for more information.

New Trailblaze continuance mission

As usual, HoYoverse will be announcing yet another Trailblaze continuance mission in the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 special program livestream. Since the developers usually release characters from the location where the Trailblaze mission is located, players will likely return to Penacony in version 2.6 as Rappa hails from the aforementioned destination.

Because the Trailblazers are currently in the Xianzhou Luofu for the Wardance event, it is quite hard to speculate what the developers are preparing for the upcoming patch.

New events

As most know, the events in Honkai Star Rail are the main attraction that keeps the players entertained throughout the whole patch. Apart from the Stellar Jades that players can acquire by completing the daily challenges, Trailblazers can obtain a hefty sum of Stellar Jades from the events in each patch.

Apart from the events that reward players with Stellar Jades, the developers also introduce events that boost the Relic and Planar Ornament drop rates. This allows players to efficiently farm for the Relic or Ornament set they want using the Trailblaze Power.
