Honkai Star Rail 2.6 Livestream: Date, Time, Characters, & What To Expect

The 2.6 livestream is bound to occur soon as the game progresses into the later stages of Version 2.5. At the moment, the turn-based RPG by HoYoverse is nearly halfway through Version 2.5’s contents. The Trailblaze Continuance missions set on the Xianzhou Luofu have been concluded with the defeat of Hoolay and the end of the Borisin crisis on the flagship, though there are still a few loose ends teased by the quests. The first half of the update also introduced Moze and Feixiao in as playable DPS characters specialized in follow-up attacks.

The second portion of the patch also introduces Lingsha as a playable hero, who may become one of the best healers in the game. The rest of the update is mostly focused on limited-time events to help players gather rewards and get accustomed to the new Skysplitter map. There have been several leaks about the contents of Version 2.6 and, given the reliability of recent leaks, a lot of the rumored information may be confirmed by the developer during the 2.6 livestream before the arrival of the update itself in mid-October.

While the developer has not yet announced the Version 2.6 livestream, it is possible to predict when it will occur. This is because the turn-based RPG usually follows a strict six-week schedule for each of its updates. Given Version 2.5 was released on September 10, Version 2.6 will likely arrive on October 23. Considering that livestreams usually occur two weeks before, on Fridays, the 2.6 livestream will likely occur on October 11, during the morning in the United States. This date and time are subject to change until HoYoverse’s official announcement.

The developer usually announces the official date and time during the week of the livestream itself.

Only one new character has been teased for Version 2.6. Rappa is confirmed to be a 5-star Imaginary character who follows the Path of the Erudition. As such, she is expected to be a multi-target striker, capable of dealing with larger groups of enemies. According
