The livestream did, certainly, exhibit the brand new characters that shall be arriving within the free-to-play RPG quickly.
The massive information from this system is, after all, the approaching arrival of the Destiny/keep night time collab occasion. A collaboration between Honkai: Star Rail and genre-defining fantasy visible novel Destiny/keep night time was first introduced in August of final 12 months, similtaneously the latter acquired its long-overdue official English localisation and fashionable remaster.

New characters launched in Model 3.4 will embrace Destiny collection favourites Saber (as a 5-Star Wind/Destruction character who’ll be receiving her personal banner within the gacha) and Archer (a 5-Star Quantum/Hunt character who shall be claimable free of charge by everybody who logs into HSR throughout the collaboration). Each are anticipated to be out there for longer than is common in HSR, with the collab confirmed as lasting from Model 3.4 proper by means of to the top of Model 3.6 (anticipated circa November of this 12 months).

He’ll even be a 5-Star character, armed with a Bodily/Destruction equipment. Because the Destiny collab characters exist exterior of the same old banner cycle, all three new characters shall be releasing in Part 1.
Not solely that, however the model will characteristic a grand complete of six rerun banners, with Tribbie, Sundayand Sparkle making a limited-time return to the gacha in Part 1, whereas Firefly, Jingliuand Blade all return throughout Part 2. Which means the latter half of this replace shall be a uncommon event when HSR receives no new characters, however contemplating how packed that line-up already is, I do not suppose it is precisely truthful to complain.
And final however not least, everybody’s favorite Stellaron Hunters are getting some love in V3.4, with enhancements coming to the battle mechanics and Eidolon results for Kafka, Silver Wolfand Blade, in addition to a brand new various outfit for Firefly. Jingliu can even be getting a equipment enhancement of her personal, which hopefully doesn’t suggest this troubled Luofu loyalist is becoming a member of Elio’s morally-gray group of mercenaries now… though truly that might be moderately cool.
