What do we know about version 2.0 of Honkai: Star Rail
The story begins when the crew is invited to Penacony for the Charmony Festival. In the center of this region is a gigantic interstellar hotel called The Reverie. This is where players will start their journey through this new world.
Beyond Penacony, players will be able to visit Dreamscapes using a special gadget called Dreampool. There are a total of 12, starting with The Golden Hour. Countless celebrations and parties take place in this place, the music never stops and the dancing never ends. Players will find here the Dream Eye, another unique device that has the power to connect paths that were previously believed to be disconnected.
The Golden Hour is just the beginning of this series. The subsequent stories will expand the storyline, introducing a series of new features in the game. Among them, the ability to walk in dreams, which allows players to ignore gravity and walk on walls and ceilings. This clearly marks the start of a new era in Honkai: Star Rail.
Even the playable characters will have an important role. The first one is the Black Swan, a memory guardian in the Garden of Memories. They are followed by the Flash, the Masked Fool, and Misha, a local penaconian. Honkai: Star Rail version 2.0 will be released on February 6th.
