Penacony not only brought different mechanics and environments to the game, but as with all its major updates, it also added a whole new cast of characters. Honkai already had a great story, but for Version 2.0, it took a darker turn. In addition to Firefly’s end, Robin may have suffered a tragic and fateful death too, or so Honkai Star Rail lets on at the end of the Trailblaze mission. But can we really trust what we see in the dream world?
Honkai Star Rail: Is Robin Truly Dead?
[Updated on Match 14 with additional detail]
In short, yes, Robin is dead in Honkai Star Rail, or that’s what Shaoji, the narrative designer of both Honkai games makes us believe. Honkai Impact 3rd fans already fear Shaoji due to the tragic endings of the characters in this game, and he had something similar planned for Penacony. Inside Honkai Star Rail, what players saw was Robin died because of a wound on her chest, and then she vanished. Robin was in her hotel room, outside the Matrix, unlike Firefly, who was in the Dreamscape. Players even saw Sunday furious about his sister’s disappearance after his conversation with Sparkle.
This very fact made fans doubt and dismiss all the Robin leaks, such as her splash art and even animations with her attacks. How could Robin still be alive if she was attacked in the real world?
There are many explanations that Honkai Star Rail owes to its users, but somehow, Robin seems to not be dead at all. This is because HoYoverse revealed Robin’s drip marketing, which matches several leaks that show her skills. This announcement also shows that this singer is from the Path of Harmony with Physical attacks. In addition, the arrival of her drip marketing can only mean that Robin will return sooner than anyone could have imagined.
