I’ll drink to that. As long as it’s real.

The official Honkai Star Rail 2.2 release date has been announced.

Previously, we enjoyed Honkai Star Rail version 2.1, titled “Into the Yawning Chasm,” released on March 27, 2024.

The update continued the Penacony Trailblaze Mission starting with “The Devil in Velvet.” It led us to new areas for us to explore and unlock — Penacony: Clock Studios Theme Park and Dewlight Pavilion.

Warning: Spoilers if you haven’t played Honkai Star Rail version 2.1 Trailblaze Mission.

During the 2.1 update, we dived into Aventurine’s backstory and followed him all the way to his grand performance at the Clock Studios Theme Park.

We saw Sam turn into Firefly, peeled away the layers surrounding Acheron’s identity, and experienced an unresolved interaction between Sunday and Gallagher.

The 2.1 update also celebrated the game’s first anniversary, giving out various rewards comprising Star Rail Special Passes and Stellar Jades. Simulated Universe World 9 was also opened.

Trailblazers face a new challenge in this update: the Dreamflux Reef. This desolate landscape is a stark contrast to the fantastical dreamscapes encountered so far in Penacony.

Unraveling the mysteries of Dreamflux Reef will require unique methods and resources. Expect to encounter some surprising allies during this venture.

The vibrant Charmony Festival is likewise upon us, and attendees from across the Cosmos are buzzing with anticipation.

His flamboyant showmanship and daring moves all serve one purpose: to draw the eye of the Interastral Peace Corporation, the target of his burning revenge.

Boothill’s got a unique style of combat. He thrives on one-on-one duels, taunting his foes into a damage-dealing dance.

When the moment strikes, he unleashes his ultimate attack, a display of raw power that weakens his enemy, deals devastating damage, and leaves them reeling. This cinematic showdown truly embodies the might of a Galaxy Ranger with a grudge.
