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

As Honkai: Star Rail celebrates its second year, developer MiHoYo is set to roll out version 3.2 on April 9th, packed with exciting new content. This update will introduce two new five-star characters, Castorice and Anaxa, promising to add depth and excitement to the game's already vibrant roster. Additionally, the second-anniversary festivities are on the horizon, offering players a chance to claim special rewards and participate in unique events.

Before diving into the anniversary celebrations, let's explore what version 3.2 has in store. The update continues the enthralling Flame-Chase Journey, with the Trailblazers and Chrysos Heirs embroiled in political intrigue, adding a rich layer of storytelling to the game.

The spotlight of this update shines on the two new five-star characters: Castorice, aligned with the Remembrance path, and Anaxa, who follows the Erudition path. Castorice's abilities revolve around using their own HP to unleash powerful attacks, while Anaxa's skills focus on inflicting significant debuffs on enemies, making them a formidable addition to any team.

But the excitement doesn't stop with the new characters and storyline. The second anniversary of Honkai: Star Rail is set to kick off with the Festive Gifts event on April 9th, coinciding with the launch of version 3.2. This event promises 20 free pulls through daily check-ins, and on April 26th, players will receive a commemorative in-game card from a companion, along with 1600 Stellar Jade. To top it off, players will have the opportunity to choose between Ruan Mei or Luocha as a free five-star character.
