Simulated Universe Expansion:
Honkai: Star Rail version 2.6 significantly expands the Simulated Universe. Following the success of "Swarm Disaster" and "Gold and Gears," the third DLC, "The Unknowable Domain," introduces a massive void connected to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts involving scholars and the powerful Scepter system—an external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons. Players will collect, upgrade, and synergize Scepters to defeat a formidable final boss.
