Finality is one of the paths of Honkai Star Rail, and it is finally making an appearance in the game. From what we know so far, theAeon of Finality is Terminus who moves backward in timeand travels across the Universe while murmuring a prophecy that is destined to be fulfilled. Finality can also be related to the Cocoon of Finality in Honkai Impact 3rd, as both games share the same universe.

In this game mode, players will have to defeat bosses they have faced before, but this time the bosses will have different traits. Players will be able to read the boss’s traits before entering the battle to strategize better for the fight.Apocalyptic Shadow will also reward 720 Stellar Jades in each phase, so make sure to complete them every phase.

Here is what the new game mode schedule is going to look like after HSR version 2.3:

Other than the new game mode, the Developer Radio episode also revealed many new QoL changes. Players will now be able to set up their teams in advance and will be able to quickly bring up their preset teams and enter the game directly.
