Sweet dreams!
“Have a Sweet Dream,” that’s the sentence we say to you when playing Honkai: Star Rail version 2.0 which can be played today. Not without reason, because this time, you will be taken on an adventure to Penacony – or what is often known as Planet Celebration and Land of Dreams – which is in the Asdana star system. Penacony itself is a luxury hotel and resort which is a place for conglomerates to party and spend their wealth.
Illustrated map of Penacony, the Planet you will go to in version 2.0
Before becoming the Celebration Planet it is today, Penacony was once a border prison built by the IPC. The prisoners in Penacony were forced to work to patch up Memoria leaks in the real world galaxy, until finally they united and together pursued a dream, namely “freedom.”
Currently, the border prison has changed ownership several times, until now it is controlled by the “Family”, a faction of Xipe followers – Aeon Harmony who have turned it into a high-class tourist and entertainment destination.
So what things will you encounter in version 2.0 this time? We will discuss it briefly for you on this occasion
Plot
Preparing for the Warp Jump to Penacony, sit still, and don’t stand, let alone walk!
Shortly after visiting planet Jarilo-VI, the Astral Express crew actually received a formal invitation letter from the family in Penacony, to attend the Charmony Festival. Apart from Astral Express, there were several factions representing various Paths who were also invited to the event. Even though the travel plans were hampered due to the Stellaron crisis in Xianzhou Luofu, the Astral Express crew this time was ready to attend the invitation and enjoy the Festival held by Harmony believers
However, you as a Trailblazer felt something strange when carrying out a warp jump for transportation from Xianzhou Luofu to Penacony. Not only Trailblazer, Welt Yang and Himeko, who this time got off the Astral Express to investigate, also felt strange since the beginning of their arrival on this planet.
“Where is this?”
What conflict is there this time in Penacony? Is there a connection to “Cancer from Around the World” or Stellaron? What about Stellaron Hunter? Remembering that they also received an invitation to attend the Festival in Penacony this time.
Keep in mind that because this is a Free-to-Play “gacha” game, don’t come with the expectation that all these questions will be answered in this version.
