Aventurine's Drip Marketing Drops Ahead of Honkai: Star Rail's Version 2.1 Update

We are days away from the release of Honkai: Star Rail version 2.0 and Hoyoverse is already dropping teasers for patch 2.1. From showing off a host of upcoming characters from Penacony to dropping new trailers every day, the hype train for future Star Rail content shows no signs of stopping. Today, we got a look at Aventurine, our newest 5-star Preservation unit. Here's a quick look at his kit.

Aventurine's Identity in Honkai: Star Rail

He works in the Strategic Investment Department of the Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC), suggesting a high-ranking position within the organization. Currently, we only hear him briefly at the end of the "Jolted Awake From a Winter Dream" main quest in the "Trailblaze Continuance" chapter which introduced us to Topaz.

During the quest, he mentions to Topaz (another IPC employee) that he has work for her in Penacony, hinting at his involvement in the upcoming content.

While not officially confirmed, some theories suggest he's part of the mysterious Ten Stonehearts group in the IPC and we are likely to meet him in-game during Penacony's storyline. Even with limited exposure, his interaction with Topaz suggests he may play a significant role in future plotlines.

His kit was leaked back during one of the game's pre-launch betas and he is expected to be our second limited Preservation character after Fu Xuan.
