Honkai Star Rail version 2.0 has been one of the most interesting patches so far in the game. The start of Penacony has been brilliant with an amazing Trailblaze mission, a new region, and brand new characters. However, version 2.1 is set to continue this and the hype is quite high.

The upcoming patch update is set to introduce one of the most highly anticipated units to the game. Additionally, the Trailblaze story mission will probably continue and the game will celebrate its first-ever anniversary.
