Honkai: Star Rail’s Humongous PS5 Update Is Out Now

Honkai: Star Rail, the superb space fantasy RPG from Chinese developer HoYoverse, has been updated to v2.0 on PS5 today – bringing with it an absolute avalanche of new content. The expansion continues the core plot of the turnbased title, taking the Trailblazer and his/her crew to an all-new planet featuring an art deco hotel named Penacony. New characters, gameplay, events, and more all await in this fresh location.

In addition to the continuation of the campaign, two new characters can be unlocked from time-limited banners: the deadly five-star Nihility memokeeper Black Swan and the fresh-faced four-star Destruction bellboy Misha. As with all of the game’s updates, there’ll be two phases to the banners, with the second featuring fellow newcomer Sparkle.

If you’re yet to start the game, HoYoverse is also giving away a ton of free pulls to mark the occasion, with a total of 20 up for grabs in this update – something which has left Genshin Impact players envious, to say the least. All of this has come alongside an enormous promotional campaign from the developer, which has seen it take over the Los Angeles Sphere and even produce a throwback variety-style show.
