New content
Version 2.0 has Trailblazers heading to a new world: Penacony. Penacony is a luxury hotel with a unique connection to dreams, enabling visitors to explore certain shared Dreamscapes while asleep. A new Trailblaze mission will accompany the new region, continuing the main story of Honkai: Star Rail.
New events include Hanu’s Prison Break, from which they can claim a 4-star character of their choice as a reward. Other events include Dreamchaser Bulletin, Dreamjolt TV, and Penacony Food Fest. There will also be two login events that grant a total of 20 pulls.

There will also be two new Relic sets and new Ascension materials for the new characters. New Light Cones will also be available in the Manifest store.
We can also expect various quality-of-life upgrades, including a visual representation of past stories, more support character options in your profile, and a more streamlined Relic upgrade system.
We also got a tease of some real-life Star Rail events on the horizon, including carnivals and concerts.
It looks like there’s a lot to look forward to in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.0. I’ll see you all in Penacony!
