Honkai: Star Rail Showcase the 2 New Endgame Modes in the Upcoming Version 2.3

Dive into New Honkai Star Rail Challenges: Rewards, Mechanics, and More!

The upcoming version of Honkai: Star Rail is about to say goodbye to the adventures in the land of the dreams. But like the good developers they are, their roadmap seems to include two new game modes, that aim to make playing the game – perpetually fun.

The new game modes about to be launched are ones that were previously confirmed. A live stream earlier today even confirmed and revealed more details about the new modes, namely – The Divergent Universe and Apocalyptic Shadow. Our favorite host Owlbert, even revealed more information about what can be expected from the update once it goes live.

So when is it getting released?

Well, there is a catch. The first update will only launch one of the game modes – The Divergent Universe. This variation has a simulated universe where you can play in a new area of Penacony. You can choose any of the characters you own, regardless of their level and equipment. As a final thank you, they have also included free but temporary level increases and relevant relics and light cones to substitute for the ones with characters that aren’t that well-built.

The new game mechanics

This version is said to have its unique gameplay mechanics, with the new ones called “The Equation”, where collecting a certain number of Blessings from multiple paths helps you gain buffs. Even if you end up choosing the wrong blessing or equation, there is an option to change them later during your re-run.

Among new curios and domains, there also seems to be an option for players to restart encounters with new character lineups if needed. There also seems to be a new Planar Ornament extraction feature, that will allow players to save successful runs to an archive to save progress, from where they can continue fighting the final boss to claim the rewards quickly.

Every phase of the Apocalyptic Shadow, very similar to Pure Fiction from earlier has two enemies with four difficulty levels. We believe this second mode is going to be all about the boss fights, and for a reason, the bosses will have new traits with new buffs available for your team to choose from. 

One more gift

The last gift, we promise is these endgame challenge modes along with the Apocalyptic Shadow and all other modes ( Pure Fiction and Memory of Chaos) will now start granting 800 Stellar Jades instead of 720, which means all of the noobs will be now one step closer to getting the limited five-star characters – Jade & firefly, which will drop in the version 2.3

What a beautiful note to part ways! We believe these updates will ensure the longevity of the game over a period making sure the game ages like fine wine. To endless more hours of fun and until then stay tuned!
