Well, with Honkai Star Rail 1.6 soon to arrive on our devices, we’ve got some extra information regarding what we an except to see in the upcoming update.

If you’d like to try out Honkai Star Rail before 1.6 launches, you can do so by downloading the game on Google Play!

A Brand-New Permanent Game Mode

As well as a few quality-of-life features, we’ve got a really exciting addition to look forward to. Pure Fiction is a brand-new mode that will be implemented into the game permanently. Think of it as a sort of horde mode, as waves of enemies attack you during each cycle. Plus, there are special buffs to obtain throughout each phase to help you in battle.

The aim of the game is to get the highest score possible by defeating all enemies and dealing the most damage possible. You’ll then be rewarded with a bounty of Stellar Jades! In fact, it’s up to 720 – nice.

QoL Changes Are On the Way!

Now, onto the quality-of-life updates. We asked for it, and now we have an auto-clear feature in Forgotten Hall. It’s one of the more time-consuming aspects of Honkai Star Rail, so I’m happy to see that we can instantly clear it to reap the rewards efficiently. I’d like to see an auto-clear for Simulated Universe too, to be honest…

Additionally, Forgotten Hall (particularly the Memory of Chaos stages) will coincide with the new Pure Fiction game mode. Once a Memory of Chaos phase has been up and running for a total of 14 days, there will be a new Pure Fiction phase. This now means that a Memory of Chaos phase will be available to play through for a total of 6 weeks instead of the previous 2-week deadline.
