In a Special Program livestream, miHoYo finally revealed the release date for Honkai: Star Rail’s massive Version 2.0 update, “If One Dreams at Midnight.” It goes live on February 6th and adds a new realm – Penacony – with new Trailblaze Missions. Check out the first trailer below, complete with a catchy theme song and appearances by several new characters.
The Trailblaze Missions will run from Version 2.0 to 2.2, with epilogues in Version 2.3. It sees the Astral Express Crew venturing to Penacony as guests of The Family for the Charmony Family. Though starting as an IPC prison, it’s since become a popular vacation spot.
In the hotel Reverie, players can use the Dreampool and visit Dreamscapes, including The Golden Hour, the most popular. It’s a region where the fun never ends, and players can use the Dream’s Eye to connect paths using optical illusions. They’ll even gain the Dreamwalk ability to walk on walls.
Version 2.0 adds three new characters, starting with Black Swan. The five-star Nihility character is a Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection, skilled at stacking damage-over-time effects on enemies. Sparkle is a member of the Masked Fools and a five-star Harmony character who can boost the Critical Damage of allies and restore Skill Points.
Finally, there’s Misha, a 4-star Destruction character who works at the Reverie whose Ultimate damage scales with the number of Skill Points used by the team. Stay tuned for more details when Version 2.0 arrives on PS5, iOS, Android and PC in the coming weeks.
