Honkai: Star Rail will unveil an exciting new endgame mode called Apocalyptic Shadow in the upcoming version 2.3 release. For many players of Honkai: Star Rail, engaging in combat scenarios like Simulated Universe, Pure Fiction, and Memory of Chaos is a common endgame pursuit. These modes pit Trailblazers against familiar foes for thrilling battles.
Information on Honkai: Star Rail version 2.3 is still limited, but leaks suggest that the update may bring four new relic sets, three Light Cones, and exclusive time-limited four-star units. Additionally, the anticipated arrival of Sunday, Robin's elder sibling, is rumored in the June 2024 update.
The recent Developer Radio broadcast for Honkai: Star Rail has disclosed that version 2.3 will introduce Apocalyptic Shadow, a challenging endgame mode where players face off against enhanced versions of previous adversaries. Rewards in the form of up to 720 Stellar Jades can be earned in each stage of Apocalyptic Shadow.

The developers promise that Apocalyptic Shadow will bring fresh combat tactics and an enhanced gameplay experience. Similar to Pure Fiction, this mode will demand players to amass points for valuable rewards including upgrade materials and Stellar Jades. Further details on this mode are expected to be revealed soon.
Turning to existing endgame content, Honkai: Star Rail's Simulated Universe is set for a revamp with the addition of the new domain, Divergent Universe. This multi-stage domain will coexist alongside the original Simulated Universe, offering diverse Blessing combinations and the ability to retain acquired Curios and Blessings from the latest run. Noteworthy is the inclusion of the 'Restart Challenge' feature, enabling Trailblazers to restart battles without losing progress.
While currently in version 2.2, HoYoverse has hinted at changes coming in version 2.3, including improvements to farming Planar Ornaments for a more rewarding experience. The introduction of the Divergent Universe mode, featuring the Planar Ornament Quick-Claim function, is aimed at addressing player feedback regarding the unrewarding relic system.
