Regis Altare, Josuiji Shinri and Axel Syrios Explore R.E.P.O.’s New Sunstone Valley Map

HOLOLIVE — Regis Altare of Hololive’s HOLOSTARS English -TEMPUS- spent about three hours in the co-op game R.E.P.O. with Josuiji Shinri and Axel Syrios, built around the game’s new Sunstone update. Regis described the game as one where a team goes in, grabs valuables, sells them, comes back alive and upgrades for the next floor, and said it had been a while since the group last played.

The session opened with the three customizing their robots. Regis introduced himself as the blue robot and the leader of HOLOSTARS English, Shinri said he was supposed to be on a break, and Axel turned up in a cowboy persona, a nod to the update’s Texas setting. Talk of barbecue and horses followed before the first run began. Early on, the group learned that stacking valuables above the lasers at the spawn point earns bonus money, and they spent several rounds working out how to haul heavy items, including a rhino and a very large haul worth 22,000, back to the truck.

“I’m just glad you guys are smiling with us. No matter what comes out of their mouth, which can be concerning, but just smile through the pain, right?” — Regis Altare, thanking members near the close

Between runs they argued over what to buy at the shop, took a vote on who got the shotgun, and reached the update’s new Sunstone Valley map, which the group called Texas. A hidden basement there set off an argument over whether a creature was a penguin or a puffin. Gambles on upgrades failed three times in a row at one point, but a later one cut a price by 19,000, and the group credited Axel’s luck. On a later map with a red-light, green-light machine, pits and a large doll-like enemy, Regis fell into a pit, Axel was left as the last player and cleared the loot, and the group agreed to run it back.

They called it near the three-hour mark, saying they had made good progress and wanted to return when more of the group was online. Before signing off, the participants reminded viewers of a concert in February 2027 and a dance challenge tied to it. Shinri, who is on a break through the end of November, said an Into the Radius collab, a VR shooter, would come when he returns.

Regis then thanked members and gifted-membership donors by name and said his next stream would be at 7 p.m. Eastern the following evening, when he would open about 30 packs of the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Ascended Heroes set. He also took viewers’ messages for the other two, who were moving to voice chat afterward, and chat filled with “Otsustars” farewells as the stream ended.
