During TGA 2023, HoYoVerse revealed a new trailer teasing Penacony, which is the next stop for the Astral Express in Honkai: Star Rail, and it also showed the two new characters Black Swan and Acheron.
You can watch the trailer here. Black Swan features more prominently in this Honkai: Star Rail footage, however Acheron does make an appearance at the very end. We get to hear the voice acting for both of these newcomers.
The start of the trailer focuses on the Astral Express’s adventures in Jarilo-VI, with some references to the events on the Xianzhou Luofu. Black Swan narrates the entire event, with the trailer ending with Acheron’s arrival in Penacony. Judging by the trailer and the image that The Game Awards’s Twitter account shared, Penacony has a very art deco aesthetic.
According to the “A Story That Never Grows Dull” trailer, Arryn Zech voices Black Swan and Allegra Clark voices Acheron. Zech’s previous roles include Blake from RWBY and Gentiane in Girls’ Frontline. Clark’s roles include Dorothy from Arknights and Mitsuru from Persona 3 Reload.
The Japanese voice actresses are Hitomi Nabatame for Black Swan and Miyuki Swashiro for Acheron. Sawashiro’s previous roles include Raiden Shogun from Genshin Impact and Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter 2011. As for Nabatame, she voiced Yuruziha from Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes and Nihilister in Goddess of Victory: Nikke.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Penacony will be the next destination for the Trailblazers in Honkai: Star Rail.
