Towards the end of "Farewell, Penacony," the Astral Express Crew agreed that they would travel to Amphoreus next. It's said to be a mysterious planet that not even Akivili the Trailblaze has visited, and can only be seen through the Garden of Recollection's mirrors. Other than that, not much is known about Amphoreus, but many fans speculate that it might be a Thermae-inspired planet with Greek and Roman elements.

Because the next planet is said to be Greek-inspired, there are speculations that this might be the home planet of characters like Dr. Ratio and Himeko. Both are dressed in toga-style outfits, and Dr. Ratio, in particular, conjures up marble statues that are similar to the ones seen in Greece and even Rome. It will be interesting to see how the events and lore of the fourth planet and its inhabitants will impact the overall story of Honkai: Star Rail.
Among the HoYoverse titles, Honkai: Star Rail has a unique opportunity to expand its universe even further because of the vast cosmos it's set in. Existing worlds, like Xianzhou Luofu and Penacony, also continue to grow as the story progresses.
