Gacha, gacha everywhere. Everything seems to be gacha these days – including the new mech game Mecharishi that came out the other day and has managed to hold my attention for longer than much of this sort of thing does.
One of the longer-term and more successful examples out there at the moment is the popular Honkai Star Rail, which has just announced the arrival of its latest 3.5 update. But when is it, what will it bring, and what news has been released so far?
Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.5 “Before Their Deaths”
When is it out?
HoYoverse has announced that we can expect the version 3.5 update to arrive on August 13th, so less than two weeks away from the time of publication.
This update officially kicks off the second half of the Amphoreus story. Trailblazers will encounter new companions, confront fresh enemies and events, and witness old friends in entirely new forms. Hysilens and Cerydra will also make their long-awaited debut as playable characters, joining players in the next leg of the Amphorean trailblazing expedition.
Honkai Star Rail 3.5 characters
Version 3.5 introduces two powerful new characters to the team of Trailblazers. The first is Hysilens, commander of the holy city’s knights and a 5-star Physical-Type character following the Path of Nihility. Hysilens excels when paired with characters who specialize in DoT.
The other 5-star Wind-Type character following the Path of Harmony, Imperator Cerydra, is the holder of the Law Coreflame and the initiator of the first Flame-Chase Journey
HSR V3.5 will see the limited 5-star characters Stellaron Hunter Kafka and Silver Wolf return in the first and second halves of the Version 3.5 warp event
Voice actor features
This is an interesting one. Version 3.5 brings a toggle to the in-game audio that allows you to toggle between the original in-game dub and the original licensed voice actors. This is being added to help increase immersion for players.
Honkai Star Rail has so far passed an astonishing 150 million downloads across PC, iOS, and Android. That is a lot of potential income for HoYoverse when you consider it sits beside its other gacha behemoth, Genshin Impact.
You can download the new Honkai Star Rail update on August 13th, and we will update this page with go-live times once they are released.
