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

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 19,2025

Honkai: Star Rail, one of developer MiHoYo's standout successes, is gearing up to celebrate its second anniversary with the release of version 3.2 on April 9th. This update not only marks a significant milestone for the game but also introduces exciting new content for players to dive into.

Version 3.2 will bring fresh narrative depth to the Flame-Chase Journey, with the Trailblazers and Chrysos Heirs tackling political intrigue. Alongside this, the update will debut two new five-star characters: Castorice of the Remembrance path and Anaxa of the Erudition path. These characters come equipped with unique abilities, ranging from using their own HP to inflict damage to applying massive debuffs on enemies, adding new strategic layers to the gameplay.

But the real excitement comes with the second-anniversary celebrations. Kicking off on April 9th, the Festive Gifts event will run alongside the version 3.2 launch. Players can look forward to 20 free pulls through daily check-ins. On April 26th, a special in-game card from a companion and 1600 Stellar Jade await, and players will have the opportunity to choose a free five-star character between Ruan Mei and Luocha.

While you await these anniversary festivities, if you're in the mood for something different, consider exploring our review of Songs of Conquest, a strategy game reminiscent of HOMM, to see if it's worth a try, even for those less inclined towards strategy games.
