The latest update for Honkai: Star Rail is now available for players to dive into, where they will finally be able to uncover the secrets of the Shackling Prison, experience the Wardance ceremony, and be introduced to powerful adversaries. Honkai: Star Rail version 2.5 also introduces three new characters for players to learn about. These characters are Feixiao, Lingsha and Moze, adding a new level of excitement to the game. For those who played Honkai: Star Rail 2.4, players were left on an intense cliffhanger, which will now be resolved in version 2.5, where players can continue the main questline and see more of the Xianzhou Luofu arc.
Version 2.5 of Honkai: Star Rail adds a lot to the game, especially with players finally getting to reach the climax of the silkpunk saga taking place in the Shackling Prison. A special Warp Event will take place to celebrate the first half of version 2.5, where players can pull for Robin, Black Swan, and Kafka. The Warp count for the guaranteed 5-star will be shared across rerun and current limited banners.
For those who want to get stuck into the Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 update, the update is already out across the globe. The update lasted five hours, but Honkai: Star Rail maintenance typically ends after four hours. Players get 300 Stellar Jade as compensation to make up for the downtime.
The official Honkai: Star Rail YouTube channel has also released a trailer that is just over two minutes long to showcase some of the storylines and characters players can expect to see in the game.
There are three new storylines, one of which is the continuation of Xianzhou Luofu- Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue. This quest becomes permanently available after the update, with Trailblazers having to be Level 21 or above, as well as completing the prerequisite quests.
As stated above, there will also be a quest line for the Luminary Wardance, which also requires a Trailblaze Level 21 or above. For a more casual experience, there is also the Festive Revelry to participate in, which gives you access to traditional Luofu mini-games so you can take a break after participating in high stress questlines.
For those who would like to read the full patch notes of the “Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue” version 2.5 update for Honkai: Star Rail, they have released a blog post that details enemies added, as well as quality-of-life improvements to make the game more enjoyable for players. The update will end in October, giving players plenty of time to wrap up any loose ends from 2.5.
