HoYoverse has officially announced that the next Honkai: Star Rail livestream will take place on November 22. It will showcase everything that the upcoming version 2.7 will offer, including two new characters, more story content, and heaps of events and rewards.
Version 2.7 is officially titled “A New Venture on the Eighth Dawn”, and will pick up right where 2.6 left off in terms of plot. Let’s take a look at everything we know so far.
New Character: Fugue
- Type: Nihility
- Element: Fire
Fugue is a brand new five star Nihility character that fights with the power of fire. They can buff allies with Foxian Prayer, boosting their Break effect and Toughness Reduction effects on enemies. Simultaneously, when an ally is buffed, Fugue’s attacks are more powerful.
What we particularly like about Fugue, is their ability to ignore weakness effects and still deal considerable damage with their attacks. They’re not quite as powerful as a typical weakness attack, but you’ll still deal more than base.
New Character: Sunday
- Type: Harmony
- Element: Imaginary
The other new character is Sunday, who is also a five star character. Sunday is a strong support character that will boost your team’s offensive ability thanks to their ‘Beatified’ effect.
This increases an ally’s critical and regular damage, but also allows Sunday to continuously give them extra attacks, recovering skill points in the process.
Housing System
Perhaps the most exciting new feature of version 2.7 is Honkai Star Rail’s new housing system. This sees you getting your very own room on the train that you can decorate with various items you unlock while playing the game.
In an Animal Crossing-style move, you can invite your friends to visit your room and check it out.
Dress Up Pom-Pom
Pom-Pom is one of the most adorable things to happen in gaming possibly ever, and HoYoverse is set to turn the cuteness all of the way up to 11.
That’s thanks to a new feature that allows you to change Pom-Pom’s outfit.
