Honkai Star

The Honkai Star Rail 2.2 update, Then Wake To Weep, is upon us, and introduces many exciting new events, storylines, and characters. Let me give you some insight into the events coming up in May and June, and how to participate in them!

New leaks about 2.3 have hinted at a potential update to the Simulated Universe and, with it, a memorable new boss fight. Simulated Universe is a weekly roguelike activity found in Herta Space Station, where players choose a World to challenge and go through randomized maps and enemies before facing a fixed boss at the end. After completing the tougher encounters, players get to farm Planar Ornaments, which are key items for every character – they are, for instance, crucial for Aventurine’s build in .

Players should completely skip pulling for both Robin and Boothill in 2.2 and, instead, pull for some of the game’s older characters. Robin and Boothill are the new playable units arriving with the next patch. Both of them were confirmed by developer HoYoverse a while back, but the details about them and how they play have finally been revealed. Their kits had been abundantly described in the several 2.2 leaks and rumors and it is now confirmed that most of the information was true. Robin is a support unit, while Boothill is a DPS.

The Voice of the Galaxy brings exciting news and updates to Honkai Star Rail! Version 2.3 introduces the Developer Radio, a massive overhaul to the Simulated Universe.

The trailer, titled “A Moment Among the Stars—Inherently Unjust Destiny,” feels like a dramatic peek into Honkai: Star Rail’s narrative. Our characters grapple with fate, wondering if they can rewrite the cosmic script.

New 2.2 leaks are hinting at a boss-melting skill from a rather unexpected source: the new support Trailblazer. The turn-based RPG is currently in the early stages of its second phase, but a lot of the content planned for the upcoming patch has already been leaked. Most of them revolve around the abilities and gameplay mechanics of the new and confirmed characters, Robin and Boothill, though there have been plenty of mentions about the new Trailblazer form in leaks. According to the rumors, the new Trailblazer form will be an Imaginary Harmony unit.

Acheron’s real name in has allegedly been leaked before the release of Version 2.3, and the answer may provide more answers about her true identity – and with it, more details about her past and how she connects to the larger story in the game. Acheron is one of the new characters in 2.1, where she was finally added as a playable unit. She had already debuted as an NPC in Version 2.0 and the release of Penacony as an explorable destination. Nevertheless, since Acheron first appeared, she has been highly awaited by players.

A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail confirms a major nerf for upcoming five-star character Boothill, expected to release during the game's Version 2.2 update. The launch of the game's newest world of Penacony has introduced a wealth of new and upcoming characters to the HoYoverse sci-fi RPG, featuring plenty of cast members within the world's Trailblaze Mission. Version 2.0 saw the debut of three new characters, while the recent launch of Version 2.1 brought the highly-anticipated launch of Acheron within Honkai: Star Rail. Now, Boothill is one of the next characters planned for the game.

This update brings a wealth of new content, characters, areas, events, and bug fixes to Honkai Star Rail. Here’s a breakdown of the key highlights:

Details about the new Trailblazer form in 2.2 have allegedly leaked, giving more insight into how they will operate with a new Element and Path, as well as hinting at the potential of rivaling one of the game’s best characters. The Trailblazer is the main character of the story and a reflection of the players themselves – Caelus has the male-presenting body type, while Stella is the female-presenting protagonist. Despite not currently being the best, Trailblazer is one of the most unique characters, as they have the ability to swap the Paths they follow.

A new gameplay mechanic mentioned in 2.2 leaks has the potential to change the game forever if it ends up being true. Currently, the game is entering Version 2.1, following the release of Penacony earlier this year. While players are being introduced to three new characters in 2.1, as well as more main story quests and plenty of events, leakers are already setting their sights on the upcoming patches, and several reliable details are arising from the rumored pieces of information.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1, “Into the Yawning Chasm,” is primed for launch. This episode of Voice of the Galaxy episode brings a wave of optimizations designed to enhance your gameplay experience, making it more straightforward to manage your inventory, conquer challenges, and delve deeper into the Simulated Universe.

An unexpected character in may be getting a massive overhaul in Version 2.1 if the current leaks are to be believed. The turn-based RPG by HoYoverse has entered its second year of content with the release of Penacony in Version 2.0 and is moving forward in its Trailblaze Missions, offering a larger perspective of the intergalactic struggles that pursue the Nameless. Nevertheless, there are already leaks about the next patch, such as a huge reward in 2.1.

A recent leak revealed that Honkai: Star Rail might release three new character skins. Honkai: Star Rail has a diverse cast of interesting characters, with many of them being alternate versions of characters from Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact.

Aventurine’s gameplay kit in 2.1 has allegedly leaked, revealing all the details about the new and upcoming playable hero. The 5-star unit has already been confirmed as one of the new characters in the next patch thanks to drip marketing pieces shared by the developer HoYoverse. Aventurine has also already appeared in the game with the release of Penacony in 2.0. The enigmatic member of the IPC (Interastral Peace Corporation) is one of the first new faces that players encounter when trying to check into The Reverie Hotel on the Planet of Festivities.

The release of 2.0 is an important milestone for the popular turn-based RPG developed by HoYoverse. With the update, the game introduces a new destination called Penacony, also known as the Planet of Festivities and the Land of Dreams. This is a completely new location, much like the Xianzhou Luofu flagship or Jarilo-VI. In addition to Penacony, the game kicks off its second year of content following its original release back in 2023. 2.0’s release sets in motion what is the beginning of another promising year of playable content, especially in terms of narrative.

The new Version 2.0 update for added one of the strangest Achievements in the game so far, offering players a chance to get Stellar Jade in a very counter-intuitive manner. The patch kicked off the popular turn-based RPG’s second year of content and introduced the planet of Penacony, also known as the Land of Dreams for players to explore. This is an entirely new destination, much like Jarilo-VI and the Xianzhou Luofu, and it is expected to expand with more future updates.

The big Honkai Star Rail 2.0 update has been detailed by developer HoYoverse today. This new patch is being dubbed 'If One Dreams At Midnight' and will be released on February 6 on all platforms.

A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak indicates that Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae will receive a rerun banner in version 2.0. Honkai: Star Rail is expected to add at least two new characters in update 2.0, including Sparkle and Misha, that have their own potent skill sets. In addition to Light Cones and events, the next version will bring some old units' limited banners, with whom players can expand their roster.

Dr. Ratio is a powerful free character available in . He is a member of The Hunt Path, making him great for single-target damage against bosses. He also specializes in follow-up attacks and debuffing the same target multiple times.

Well, with Honkai Star Rail 1.6 soon to arrive on our devices, we’ve got some extra information regarding what we an except to see in the upcoming update.

Where does the border lie between referencing and theft? The team behind providing the enchanting cut scenes and character trailers for Honkai Star Rail seems to struggle with this. Now having found themselves railed by criticism for plagiarism when showcasing the 7.1 reintroduced unit, Griseo.

The Honkai Star Rail 1.5 livestream is due to commence shortly! Personally, I’ve been looking forward to 1.5 for quite a while now, so I’m excited to see what they announce today.

Honkai Star Rail, the turn-based JRPG from Genshin Impact studio Hoyoverse, announced a new Twitch "incentive plan" on September 13 as a way to get people to stream and watch the game. This turned out to be quite the hornet's nest to kick, because within just weeks the Star Rail community had milked Twitch so hard that Hoyoverse has had to disable almost all of the rewards even though the event is still scheduled to run through October 15. 

Honkai Star Rail might be one of the best PC games of 2023. There, I said it. Releasing without a hitch, I’ve plowed a lot of time into HoYoverse’s sci-fi adventure  – perhaps even more than my beloved Diablo 4. Characterized by gorgeous anime-style animations and fun turn-based combat, Honkai Star Rail is quite the success story, but for HoYoverse and sister title Genshin Impact, it may be a double-edged sword.

Honkai Star Rail is finally coming to PS5 next month on October 11.

The Honkai Star Rail 1.3 version update is finally here! After weeks of drip marketing for the new characters joining the roster, players can now get their hands on Imbibitor Lunae (or Dan Heng, if you will).

Honkai Star Rail is one of the most popular gacha games out there currently, with a growing roster of characters that you can recruit for your teams.

With careful planning, you can ensure you earn the 5-star character of your dreams. Fortunately, HoYoverse has provided a method that allows you to calculate what your current pity is. Here’s how to check your pity in Honkai Star Rail.

Honkai Star Rail released its latest major content update on August 29, introducing the newest playable character Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, while also introducing a number of quality-of-life updates, such as an increased Trailblaze Power cap and changes to the Simulated Universe.

Looking forward to Honkai Star Rail 1.3? It goes by the official title of Celestial Eyes Above Mortal Ruins and will launch on Wednesday, August 30.
