Introduction to Penacony in Honkai: Star Rail
Penacony, famously known as the Planet of Festivities, holds a significant place in the narrative of Honkai: Star Rail. The celestial body is presently inhabited by a devoted faction called the Family, adhering to the ideals of Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony. While the game’s storyline has hinted at our impending voyage to Penacony, the exact timeline for players to explore this new location remains undisclosed.
Insights into Penacony: What We Know So Far
Preceding the culminating events at Jarilo-VI involving the Astral Express Crew, the Family of Penacony sent out formal invitations to various interstellar factions, including the Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC) and the Astral Express. Considering a visit to Penacony as their next destination, Himeko and her crew faced a detour upon receiving reports of a Stellaron eruption on the Xianzhou Luofu, redirecting their course.
In a bygone era under the control of the IPC, Penacony operated as a penal colony, exiling criminals until Stellaron corrosion devastated the region, leading Penacony to seek refuge with Xipe and forge an alliance with the Family.
Notably, preserved recollections within the Memory Bubble labeled “Family” shed light on an individual’s exploration of the Family, aspiring to receive an invitation to Penacony. While the name Renoir is associated with the Family, the current status of this figure remains shrouded, awaiting further exploration upon the arrival at Penacony in Honkai Star Rail’s upcoming patches.
Anticipated Release Date for Penacony in Honkai Star Rail
Current indications suggest that players may see an initial glimpse of Penacony in patch 1.5, likely releasing around November 15th. However, recent leaks hint at a potential introduction in patch 1.6, potentially moving the release date to around December 25th. Notably, patch 1.6 is expected to introduce Black Swan and Sam as two playable characters, adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming update.
