Recently, the developer confirmed that Honkai Star Rail 3.0 will be released in 2025, and the new content it adds will take players on a surprising and novel adventure. The game is currently about to end the last patch 2.7 before patch 3.0.

Although players can have the opportunity to have Fugue for the first time in patch 2.7, or pull Firefly and other content, the game content of the upcoming patch 3.0 is still slightly inferior.

What’s New In Honkai Star Rail 3.0? - Dates, New Characters And Events

Players who have followed the previous Honkai Star Rail 3.0 live broadcast should have a certain understanding of the content of the patch. But even players who have not noticed the official live broadcast information don’t need to be nervous. This article will introduce you to some information currently revealed by the developer.

According to the developer, patch 3.0 will open the third year of the game’s storyline content and will lead players to experience the game story in Amphoreus area on Astral Express track. Remembrance has also been added as a new playable Path, as well as Amphoreus character that will be available in the future.

It is revealed that Honkai Star Rail 3.0 will be officially launched on January 15, 2025. The update will last for about a month and end around February 26, 2025.

In addition, Honkai Star Rail server will be shut down for 5 hours due to planned maintenance, and players can only log in to the game update system after that. Developers usually use free Honkai Star Rail Stellar Jade to compensate for the adverse effects of this downtime maintenance. Therefore, players should log in to the game in time to receive this free benefit.

New Characters

In addition, it is revealed that patch 3.0 Banner will have 2 stages. On the one hand, it will be a five-star character as the protagonist, and on the other hand, it will increase the player extraction rate of some four-star characters.

The new five-star characters are Herta and Aglaea. The former is on the path of Ice Erudition, and the latter is a Lightning and Remembrance character. If you are missing a five-star character, it is recommended that you get some Oneiric Shards in advance through Honkai Star Rail Top Up to exchange for Stellar Jade and increase your chances of extraction.

New Story Content

In patch 3.0, Astral Express will set off for Amphoreus, a place whose design is deeply influenced by the culture of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. It is a very chaotic place where the residents are isolated from other places, and even Akivili has never been there.

Amphoreus was once led by Titans, but later some of them created humanity. Later, the area fell into a long war between the two species, and humanity eventually won.

But in Honkai Star Rail, Amphoreus is still the same as before. Players need to help the local Chrysos Heirs defeat the remaining Titans and recapture Coreflame, which is important for rebuilding Amphoreus and restoring its glory.

Some New Limited-Time Events

As with previous Honkai Star Rail updates, patch 3.0 also has several limited-time events, including Gift of Odyssey, Realm of the Strange, and Planar Fissure. Players can get some free rewards by participating in these events, and there are even special EXP materials and Planar Ornaments as rewards in the events.

The above is some of the content of this Honkai Star Rail 3.0 update. This update is rich in content, so don't miss it.
