A Honkai: Star Rail leak revealed a new map that's allegedly launching in Version 2.6. As a HoYoverse title based in space, Honkai: Star Rail is known for its unique planets that are usually based on various countries and cultures.
The current story of Honkai: Star Rail follows the Astral Express Crew back to the Xianzhou Luofu to attend the Xianzhou Wardance and defeat the fearsome borisin, a werewolf-like race. The most recent Honkai: Star Rail update opened up the Shackling Prison in Xianzhou Luofu, which is an underground prison for all criminals in the Luofu region, and it seems like fans can expect more map changes in the future.
Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 Leak Hints at Topaz & Numby Rerun
A Honkai: Star Rail leak suggests Topaz & Numby will receive their own rerun banner in the version 2.5 update later this year.
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak from StepLeaker, which was shared on Reddit, revealed that Paperfold Academy will reportedly be the newest location coming to Version 2.6. They didn't say much about the map's details, but many fans had already figured out that it might be a new location in Penacony.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 doesn't have an official release date yet, but it might come out around October.
In the Reddit comments, many Honkai: Star Rail fans want a back-to-school themed mission at Paperfold Academy, adding that Dr. Ratio should be a central character. There were also some who seemed confused about where the story is headed in Version 2.6, especially since this came after leaks about the rumored new character Rappa.
Where is Paperfold Academy in Honkai: Star Rail?
- Paperfold Academy is located somewhere in Penacony
Paperfold Academy is mentioned in a readable paper titled "Supernatural Encounters in Paperfold Academy," which can be picked up at the Theme Park Studios in Penacony. According to the story, Paperfold Academy had a Memory Zone Meme locked in its library, and that some areas might be haunted. Assuming that the Xianzhou Luofu arc doesn't wrap up by Version 2.6, it's possible that Honkai: Star Rail might have a new side quest or limited-time event that would require the Trailblazer to travel back to Penacony and visit the Paperfold Academy. Perhaps they could face a Memory Zone Meme once again to gather more Stellar Jades and other materials.
Honkai: Star Rail has been creative with the worlds it has introduced so far, and fans can't wait to experience the next world called Amphoreus. For now, Honkai; Star Rail is still in a transition period while preparing for Version 3.0, and it seems like HoYoverse has a lot of content in store until then.
