It's known within the community that the Xianzhou Luofu arc in Honkai: Star Rail isn't yet done, mostly considering that the main character still didn't get a Hunt form, unlike how they get a Preservation and Harmony version from Belobog and Penacony. After the festivities in the Land of Dreams, players can return to the Xianzhou Luofu in HSR 2.4, where the colossal ship is hosting an event for the Xianzhou Alliance.

Of course, the story won't end in one version, so after the cliffhanger left in Honkai: Star Rail 2.4, players can experience the continuation of the main quest in version 2.5. Whether for the story or new characters, here's when Trailblazers can expect Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 to come out, along with HSR 2.5 release date and time, and when the HSR 2.5 maintenance starts and ends.
