Honkai: Star Rail's next chapter arrives next month, alongside second-anniversary rewards
Choo choo!
- Honkai: Star Rail version 3.2 is coming April 9th, with brand-new additional content
- It'll feature two new five-star characters with versions of Castorice and Anaxa
- Keep your eye out for new anniversary events and special rewards too
Given that Honkai: Star Rail has been one of developer MiHoYo's most successful releases, it's almost a given that it's managed to sail comfortably into a second year of service. But if you're more concerned with what you're going to get for sticking around, then you'll be excited to know that second-anniversary rewards and details of version 3.2 have just been released.
But before we get into the details of the anniversary, there's the aforementioned 3.2 update to discuss. In this update, you'll find new story intrigue featuring the Trailblazers and Chrysos Heirs navigating political intrigue in the next part of the Flame-Chase Journey.
This update will also see the debut of two new five-star characters in the form of Castorice (Remembrance) and Anaxa (Erudition). Both of these characters boast new abilities which take advantage of everything from using their own HP to deal damage, to dealing massive debuffs to enemies.
But I'm sure for most of you the bigger thing you're interested in is what exactly you'll be getting when the second anniversary events begin. So, for that, you'll want to keep your eye out for the Festive Gifts anniversary event starting April 9th alongside the launch of version 3.2.
This event will let you nab 20 free pulls via daily check-ins, while on April 26th, you'll receive your own commemorative in-game card from a companion, alongside 1600 Stellar Jade. Not to mention the opportunity to nab a free five-star character, with a choice between Ruan Mei or Luocha.
If you need something to tide yourself over ahead of this, and you're willing to take a walk on the wilder side. Why not check out our review of the HOMM-like strategy Songs of Conquest to see whether it's worth a go, even for non-strategy players?
