Honkai: Star Rail\'s next chapter arrives next month, alongside second-anniversary rewards

As Honkai: Star Rail continues to soar in popularity, developer MiHoYo is gearing up for an exciting second anniversary with the launch of version 3.2 on April 9th. This update promises a wealth of new content, including two new five-star characters and fresh narrative developments.

Version 3.2 will delve deeper into the Flame-Chase Journey, where Trailblazers and Chrysos Heirs will tackle political intrigue. This narrative expansion is set to captivate fans with its intricate storytelling. Alongside this, the update introduces Castorice (Remembrance) and Anaxa (Erudition), two new five-star characters. Castorice can utilize their own HP to inflict damage, while Anaxa specializes in dealing significant debuffs to enemies, offering players new strategic options.

But the real excitement comes with the second anniversary celebrations. The Festive Gifts event, kicking off on April 9th alongside version 3.2, offers players 20 free pulls through daily check-ins. Mark your calendars for April 26th, when you'll receive a commemorative in-game card from a companion and 1600 Stellar Jade. Moreover, players will have the opportunity to select a free five-star character, choosing between Ruan Mei or Luocha.
