- Leaks suggest next Trailblaze Continuance will star Robin, Boothill, and Rappa on the Astral Express.
- Version 2.5 wrapped up the Hoolay battle, introduced new characters, and teased a future meta shift.
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak revealed which characters will star in the next Trailblaze Continuance, coming in Version 2.6. The next Honkai: Star Rail update is expected to be released in October.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5 gave fans plenty of content with the final battle against Hoolay and the conclusion of the Wardance Festival storyline. Players also enjoyed the debut of characters Feixiao, Moze, and Lingsha, as well as more free Imaginary March 7th Eidolons. Although the game's current version hasn't reached its second half yet, the hype for the next patch has already risen, as several leaks have surfaced online in the past few weeks. Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 will mark the debut of the 5-star character Rappa, but little more has been confirmed about the update. Now, a recent leak about the next Trailblaze Continuance could shed some light on the next chapter in the Trailblazer's journey.
Reliable Honkai: Star Rail leaker HomDGCat has shared new details about the protagonists of the next Trailblaze Continuance. According to the leak, Robin, Boothill, and Rappa will join the Astral Express crew members as the stars of the next main quest. Both Boothill and Rappa are members of the Galaxy Rangers in the Honkai: Star Rail universe, so the plot may be slightly related to their faction. Moreover, in Rappa's drip marketing, HoYoverse confirmed that she'll arrive in Penacony while chasing a villain known as Evil Ninja Osaru. The possibility of Rappa and Robin starring in the next update suggests that the next Trailblaze Continuance could be set in Penacony.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Details of Version 2.6 Trailblaze Continuance
Previous Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 leaks have hinted at the debut of a new area in Penacony named Paperfold Academy, which prompted speculation that Dr. Ratio might make an appearance in a quest. Players have not returned to Penacony since Version 2.3, which set the finale of this planet's Trailblaze Mission. The aftermath of the Penacony arc also left players wondering about the future of some characters, like the long-awaited Sunday. Although he has yet to be confirmed as a playable unit, earlier leaks have pointed at his release in the 2.7 update.
The Version 2.5 Trailblaze Continuance ended with a cliffhanger about Ruan Mei's apparent reviving of Tingyun, but several leaks suggest that players will not revisit the Xianzhou Luofu in the next update. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the release of Honkai: Star Rail's Lingsha, a new 5-star Abundance character that can deal decent Fire DMG on multiple enemies. While Honkai: Star Rail has not revealed an official release date, Version 2.6 is expected to launch in late October.
