miHoYo has revealed the next big update for Honkai: Star Rail – Version 2.7, “A New Venture on the Eighth Dawn.” It goes live on December 4th and adds two long-awaited characters – Fugue, a limited 5-star version of Tingyun, and Sunday. Check out the trailer below to see them both in action.
The story sees the Astral Express preparing to journey to Amphoreus, the mysterious Eternal Land, stopping by Penacony one last time. However, Sunday suddenly re-emerges and seeks a performance for his own reasons. What this could mean remains to be seen, but another mystery surfaces in Fugue. Following the events of Version 1.2, she’s restored thanks to Ruan Mei. Players will escort her back to the Xianzhou Luofu, though it won’t be straightforward.
As for their skills, Sunday is an Imaginary character on the Path of the Harmony. He can forward allies’ actions and increase their damage. Meanwhile, his Ultimate can restore energy for a single party member and boost their Critical Damage. Fugue is a Fire character of the Nihility who hits enemies with Cloudflame Luster at the start of battle, which deals Weakness Break Damage upon hitting zero. Her Ultimate also dishes out Fire damage and shaves away enemy toughness.
Stay tuned for more details when Version 2.7 goes live. Honkai: Star Rail is available for iOS, Android, PS5, and PC.
