In the last update, Honkai Star Rail left all its players on a cliffhanger, and finally, with the release date of Version 2.1 on the horizon, we’ll finally get some answers. Acheron continues to roam Penacony while terrorizing Black Swan. Aventurine continues placing bets left and right, and it’s still unknown if his chips are bound to help or harm the Trailblazer and the Nameless. And if that wasn’t enough, many of us theorize that Shaoji is preparing a new victim. If there was a time when an update made us all bite our nails, it’s this.
