A Honkai: Star Rail leak reveals the layout of a new Version 2.6 map. This comes after news that Honkai: Star Rail is opening up a new location on one of its major planets in the upcoming update.
There are a lot of rumors swirling around the possible plot of Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6, especially with leaks claiming that the disgraced former Oak Family head, Sunday, might reappear in the main storyline. There's also speculation that the Trailblazer might return to Penacony to tie up some loose ends before moving on to the alleged Greek-inspired planet.
Following leaks revealing that Honkai: Star Rail is opening up the Paperfold Academy in Version 2.6, leaker Flying Flames shared the layout of the upcoming map. In a Reddit post, the screenshot showed an aerial view of the massive map, which has a central building with multiple wings and a garden area. There's also a shot of what looks like the interior of a room, which appears to be a dark underground area.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Stirs Up Paperfold Academy Map Rumors
In the comment section, many Honkai: Star Rail fans are convinced that the map layout is for the Paperfold Academy in Penacony. Some also want Dr. Ratio to make an appearance as an educator at the university. According to one of Penacony's readable papers, Paperfold Academy is said to be haunted and there was a Memory Zone Meme locked away in its library. So, it's possible that the Trailblazer might come back to defeat the entity in Version 2.6, be it in the main storyline or a side quest.
There's already a lot of anticipation for Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6, especially with the reveal of the new 5-star banner character Rappa, who might play an important role in the Trailblazer's potential return to Penacony. The rumored return of Sunday might also spell trouble for the Trailblazer and their companions, because there are rumors that he will be a boss enemy in Version 2.6.
- Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 estimated release date: October 22, 2024
Likewise, Version 2.6 might be a good kickoff point for Sunday's alleged banner release in a future Honkai: Star Rail update. It's said that Sunday will be a 5-star Imaginary-type Harmony character, which means that he will be a support character like his younger sister, Robin. It will be interesting to see how the disgraced Oak Family head would shake up the meta in the future, especially as a support unit for some of the strongest damage dealers.
