Honkai Star Rail 2.0 may include a new region called Penacony

Honkai Star Rail seems to be making its way into the story's next chapter rather quickly, as talks of the new region have already begun. With only four updates, HoYoverse's successful turn-based title may not waste time progressing the main story and adding different core mechanics. The new region Penacony will likely be added in the 2.0 update; it's worth noting that the current version is 1.4.

That means the major update will be released only after a couple of more patches. More details on Penacony can be found below.

Penacony to become Honkai Star Rail's third major region in 2.0

The concept of Path is important to the core story of Honkai Star Rail, alongside the Aeons tied to each of them. Much like the themes of each region and their main enemies, Penacony will possibly be based on a cult-centric storyline, following the Aeon of Harmony. Based on lore entries found in the game's current version, here's everything related to the region:

• Penacony is also referred to as the "Planet of Festivities."
• Its inhabitors are known as The Family, acting as a cult.
• The Family are strict followers of Xipe, Aeon of Harmony.
• Penacony was supposed to be Astral Express' next destination after Jarilo-IV.
