"Honkai: Star Rail's Next Chapter and Anniversary Rewards Coming Next Month"

by Camila May 28,2025

As Honkai: Star Rail sails into its second year, developer MiHoYo continues to celebrate its success with the upcoming version 3.2, set to launch on April 9th. This update promises a wealth of new content, including the introduction of two new five-star characters, Castorice (Remembrance) and Anaxa (Erudition), each bringing unique abilities to the game. Castorice utilizes their own HP to deal damage, while Anaxa specializes in inflicting massive debuffs on enemies, adding fresh strategic options for players.

The story in version 3.2 unfolds with the Trailblazers and Chrysos Heirs navigating the complex political landscape in the ongoing Flame-Chase Journey. This narrative addition is sure to captivate players and deepen the game's immersive world.

In addition to the new characters and story developments, the second anniversary of Honkai: Star Rail is set to be a grand affair. The Festive Gifts anniversary event will kick off on April 9th, coinciding with the release of version 3.2. Players can look forward to earning 20 free pulls through daily check-ins, and on April 26th, a special in-game commemorative card from a companion along with 1600 Stellar Jade will be awarded. Furthermore, players will have the exciting opportunity to choose a free five-star character between Ruan Mei and Luocha.

For those eager to explore new gaming horizons while waiting for the anniversary festivities, consider diving into our review of the strategy game Songs of Conquest, which offers a HOMM-like experience that might appeal even to those typically less inclined towards strategy games.
