Honkai Star Rail 2.7 story
Version 2.7 sees the Trailblazers once again cross paths with Sunday, now stripped of his immortality and status as head of the Oak Family. Before he sets out to experience the mortal realm, he plans to put on a final performance for the Planet of Festivities. They’ll also reunite with Tingyun, now known as Fugue, as she grapples with her identity following Phantylia’s influence. Before they set off for Amphoreus, it’s up to the Trailblazers to soothe Fugue’s spiritual injuries by treating her to a self-care day.
Honkai Star Rail 2.7 events
As with all Honkai Star Rail updates, the 2.7 release includes several limited-time events you can take part in for free rewards. The Gift of Odyssey, Realm of the Strange, and Planar Fissure events return for the 2.7 update, giving you additional banner pulls, EXP material, and Planar Ornaments.
The Honkai Star Rail 2.7 events are:
- Cosmic Home Décor Guide
- Between the Frames…
The main event in Honkai Star Rail 2.7 is the Cosmic Home Décor Guide. This sees the Trailblazer finally receive their very own bachelor(ette) pad aboard the Astral Express. This second-floor storage room is the largest, but it’s a bit of a fixer-upper at the beginning of version 2.7. Players can renovate this space by following Pom-Pom’s zoning plans to the letter, spending Express Funds earned funds from daily duties to obtain enough furniture to transform it into an opulent suite.
