HoYoverse has officially revealed the date and start time for the Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 "Farewell, Penacony" Special Program. The upcoming livestream will reveal new details about the new Honkai: Star Rail update, which is expected to be released sometime this month as the Trailblazer and the crew of the Astral Express prepare to leave Penacony.
This past May, the release of Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2 marked the climax of the Penacony storyline that began with Version 2.0. The update also introduced playable five-star characters Robin and Boothill, new Dreamscapes and locations, and a host of new features that help players keep track of materials needed to ascend their newly acquired characters. Version 2.2 proved to be a major success for Honkai: Star Rail, generating $87.3 million in revenue and outperforming HoYoverse's own Genshin Impact during May.
Rumor: Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals Yunli's Element, Path
New leaks from Honkai: Star Rail are potentially teasing both the Element and Path for rumored Version 2.4 five-star character Yunli.
The official Honkai: Star Rail Twitter account confirmed that the Version 2.3 "Farewell, Penacony" Special Program livestream will begin on June 7 at 19:30 (UTC+8), or 7:30 a.m. ET. Honkai: Star Rail players can expect to learn more about Version 2.3 playable characters Firefly and Jade, the new main storyline, upcoming limited-time events, and all-new rewards. An official release date for Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 will also be revealed. Fans tuning into the livestream on Honkai: Star Rail's official Twitch and YouTube channels can also expect three new redemption codes, which will be distributed periodically as the stream progresses. Redeeming all three codes will net players up to 300 free Stellar Jades, preparing them for the launch of new event wishes in Version 2.3.
Honkai: Star Rail Special Program Livestream Release Date
- June 7 at 19:30 (UTC+8)
Firefly and Jade will likely be available in the first and second phases of Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 respectively. Rumors and leaks point toward a Ruan Mei and Argenti rerun in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3, so players who missed out on these characters could have the opportunity to summon them from the new event wishes.
Honkai: Star Rail leaks suggest that new achievements will be added in Version 2.3 as well. Moreover, the update is expected to bring new rewards for the Divergent Universe activity, which players can complete every week to make their party stronger.
After Version 2.3, Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.4 is expected to be released in July 2024 with more new playable characters and events. The Version 2.3 Special Program should give Honkai: Star Rail players a better idea of where the story will be heading after the Penacony story.
