HoYoverse recently hosted a special program detailing the upcoming Version 1.6 update, currently expected to be released on December 27, 2023. The following article outlines all Honkai Star Rail Version 1.6 events and some of the corresponding rewards!

Honkai Star Rail Version 1.6 Release Date

This new version is scheduled to launch on December 27, 2023. This update brings a host of new events, challenges, characters, and rewards for players to enjoy during the holidays.

Excitingly, Version 1.6 also introduces additional endgame activities, with two more stages being added to Memory of Chaos. To extend the challenge schedule, the patch increases the duration from 2 weeks to 6 weeks per phase.

All Honkai Star Rail Version 1.6 Events

Honkai Star Rail Version 1.6 brings 7 major events, giving fans plenty of activities to participate in during the patch. Here is the list:

Critter Pick

One of the most unique additions in Version 1.6 is the Critter Pick scavenger hunt. This event has players searching around the in-game environment to collect cute creature specimens. These critters can then be crossbred to create new varieties and mutants. 

Simulated Universe: Gold and Gears

The Simulated Universe mode receives another expansion in Version 1.6, this time adding the Path of Erudition school of blessings. A new dice upgrade system is also being implemented. 

Virtual Scentventure

Virtual Scentventure pits players against enemies coming from fragrance triggers. Special plugins can be equipped to be used in battle with the unique mechanics these enemies possess. This combat-focused event features both Normal and Despair difficulties.

Planar Fissure

Planar Fissure makes its return in the upcoming update, offering double rewards for harvesting ornaments in the Simulated Universe. This is a great way to stock up on materials for advancing characters.

Realm of the Strange

Similarly, Realm of the Strange also comes back for players to gather relics in the Caverns of Corrosion. 

Pure Fiction

Pure Fiction is an endgame challenge akin to Memory of Chaos. Players battle waves of respawning enemies, striving to rack up points and damage until the timer expires. This event has its buffs and upgrades.

Gift of Odyssey

The login event returns, granting free pulls for the gacha with each day logged in. This totals up to 10 free draws throughout Honkai Star Rail Version 1.6.

Honkai Star Rail Version 1.6 Event Rewards

Succeeding in the various Version 1.6 events will net trailblazers some fantastic prizes. These include:

• Stellar Jades from Pure Fiction and Virtual Scentventure
• Ornaments, Relics, and upgrade materials from Planar Fissure and Realm of the Strange
• Free pulls from the recurring Gift of Odyssey login event
• Lynx, a new 4-star Quantum character
• Critter breeding or customization

Moreover, Version 1.6 will introduce new story content and gameplay changes. A major new Trailblaze Mission is scheduled, along with the debut of characters like Misha and Sparkle.

With an action-packed holiday update on the horizon, Honkai Star Rail trailblazers have lots to look forward to later this month. Stay tuned for more Version 1.6 coverage!
