2025-05-10 10:08:20

Honkai: Star Rail has officially revealed its highly anticipated Version 3.3 update, scheduled for release on May 21. The announcement came during a special livestream event on May 9, marking the next major content drop following Version 3.2's launch nearly two months prior.

Version 3.2 introduced players to Castorice and Anaxa as the latest five-star characters from Amphoreus, alongside rerun banners featuring popular units like Fugue, Jiaoqiu, Dr. Ratio, and the fan-favorite Acheron. The update also expanded the game world with new areas, a Trailblazer mission, and the formidable Pollux boss encounter. Now, Honkai: Star Rail prepares to unveil its next chapter with Version 3.3.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3 Update

Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3, titled "The Fall at Dawn's Rise," introduces two exciting new playable characters: Hyacine and Cipher. Their unique abilities have been revealed, with Hyacine specializing in boosting allies' maximum HP through her ultimate, while Cipher delivers devastating true damage based on her Talent's accumulated damage. Confirming earlier leaks, the update will feature rerun banners for The Herta and Aglalea, along with their signature light cones - Into the Unreachable Veil and Time Woven Into Gold.
