Honkai: Star Rail Launches Version 3.2 with Major Content Update

Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.2 update, titled 'Through the Petals in the Land of Repose,' launches on April 9th, delivering fresh narrative content, challenging battles, and new playable characters. As the game approaches its two-year anniversary, HoYoVerse has prepared special in-game events and generous rewards for players.

New Characters and Returning Favorites

Version 3.2 introduces two powerful 5-star characters: the tragic warrior Castorice (Remembrance) and the scholarly Anaxa (Erudition). Castorice wields the Netherwing while searching for the lost Coreflame of Death, bringing unique combat abilities to battle. Anaxa, one of the Seven Sages, utilizes his Ultimate ability 'Sublimation' to apply multiple weaknesses to all enemies simultaneously.

The update also features returning characters in its banner rotations. The first half offers reruns of Fugue, Jiaoqiu, and Acheron, while the second half brings another chance to obtain Dr. Ratio.

Exciting Story Content

The new chapter transports players to the mysterious city of Styxia, a forgotten realm beneath the Sea of Souls filled with dragon remains and lingering spirits. Players will guide Castorice through this haunting environment while unraveling the history of the Titans and the catastrophic event that destroyed the city.

Second Anniversary Celebration

To commemorate two years since launch, developers are rewarding players with 20 free pulls just for logging in. On the anniversary date (April 26th), all players will receive 1,600 Stellar Jades and a special commemorative item from an in-game companion. Additionally, players can claim either Ruan Mei or Luocha as a free 5-star character during the celebration.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 will be available on April 9th via the Google Play Store.
