A Honkai: Star Rail leak from MadCroiX has revealed the chest count for new Penacony regions that will be released in version 2.2.

They will also reportedly find at least 32 loot boxes in the SoulGlad Scorchsand Audition Venue zone.

  • SoulGlad Scorchsand Audition Venue: 32
  • Dreamflux Reef: 19
  • Penacony Grand Theater: 31

According to beta leaks, these new regions will be released in Honkai: Star Rail version 2.2, which is expected to go live in May. Like other Penacony regions, they will feature NPCs and explorable buildings.

Honkai: Star Rail's Penacony consists of multiple sub-regions, in which players can collect chests to earn rare items like Stellar Jades and relics. Each sub-region contains a different number of treasure chests, some of which are locked behind Elite enemies. Usually, these loot boxes are found next to the walls and in the corners of the rooms. It's important to note that they don't respawn, meaning once players open a box, it will be gone forever.

Following the release of Honkai: Star Rail version 2.1, leaks about the next version have become more frequent. Recently, one specific leak indicated that a new Toughness mechanic will be introduced alongside a Penacony boss that looks similar to godlike beings mentioned in the game's story. This combat mechanic will give enemies multiple layers of Toughness gauge, which means players will get them into the Broken state multiple times. If the leak is true, it could be a buff for characters whose kits are based on Break Damage and Break Efficiency.
