A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail is hinting at the game’s first anniversary celebration, which is expected to take place after a major update. Despite being available for only six months, the sci-fi RPG from HoYoverse has already introduced numerous new characters and expanded its initial worlds. Now, fans are getting a glimpse of when they can anticipate the game’s first significant post-launch event.

Anniversary celebrations have been a contentious topic for fans of another flagship game from HoYoverse, Genshin Impact. Previous celebrations for the fantasy RPG have faced criticism, with fans feeling that the anniversary rewards were underwhelming and accusing the company of being stingy. However, Honkai: Star Rail has received praise from many fans for being more generous with currency, regularly offering login bonuses throughout its early patches. Recent information now reveals the anticipated timing of Star Rail’s first anniversary celebration for players.

Recent leaks from StepLeaker, a well-known source in the HoYoverse community, have revealed the release window for Honkai: Star Rail's highly anticipated first anniversary celebrations. As per the leaked information, these festivities are scheduled to take place during the game's upcoming Version 2.1 update. This release date has been a topic of discussion among Star Rail enthusiasts for various reasons, as leaks have presented conflicting information regarding whether the game's Version 1.X cycle will extend until Version 1.6 or continue up to Version 1.8. Additionally, Star Rail recently made an announcement regarding a shortened patch cycle for Version 1.4, which will last only five weeks instead of the usual six.

Honkai: Star Rail's first anniversary in Version 2.1 is approaching, and it is expected to come with exciting celebrations and a highly anticipated release for the RPG. The upcoming Version 2.0 patch of Honkai: Star Rail is rumored to introduce Penacony, a fully explorable world with a steampunk theme. Leaked information has already revealed new enemies in Penacony, including clockwork robots and mechanical foes that players can challenge. Additionally, new characters such as Black Swan and Misha are expected to join the game with the arrival of Penacony.

Although the anniversary celebrations and Penacony are still in the future, Honkai: Star Rail is currently progressing towards the second half of Version 1.4. This upcoming update will bring two new characters to the roster, namely the five-star Hunt character Topaz and the four-star character Guinaifen. Alongside these additions, players can look forward to two new events: "Planar Infinity," a Simulated Universe event, and "Realm of the Strange," which offers double Relic rewards. With all of these exciting updates, Honkai: Star Rail promises a thrilling experience for players in the near future.

Honkai: Star Rail is available now for PC, PS5, and mobile devices.
