Honkai: Star Rail, the hit gacha adventure RPG from Hoyoverse, announced today that their next major update, Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 "If One Dreams At Midnight", is launching on February 6, 2024. With the new update comes the following new features:
- New realm "Penacony" with new main Trailblazer missions with the story running until version 2.3
- New maps, storylines, and companions
- 3 new playable characters: Black Swan (5 Star). Sparkle (5 Star), and Mishha (4 Star)
- Limited 5 star characters Dan Heng, Inhibitor Lunae, and Jing Yuan will appear in the 1st and 2nd phase of 2.0's event warp
- New systems and optimizations to enhance quality of life. Notably the "Fate's Atlas" feature will serve as an index of events and plot lines in each world in chronological order, which should help players organize the narratives of each world.
- The Relic enhancement system has also been revamped with new recommendations for each character.

While Honkai Star Rail is even less of a multiplayer experience than Hoyoverse's Genshin Impact, it's a surprisingly good game and one of the few mobile games I've found myself enjoying. Everything from its production value (graphics, music, and smooth gameplay) to storytelling are top notch. Like other Gacha RPGs though, players can use one of their friend's characters in battle.
