Adding to the thrill, fan-favorite characters General Jing Yuan and Firefly return in the two-phase Warp Event. Missed them before? This is the perfect chance to bolster your roster if it needs a boost. Personally, though, I’ve got my eyes set on Firefly!
But that’s not all! Version 2.7 also introduces a luxurious new Party Car aboard the Astral Express. Picture a sleek marble bar, a classic bartending robot, and stunning panoramic views of the cosmos. Unwind with the Astral Express crew, enjoying a drink as you reflect on the memories of your journey together.
For those with a flair for design, the Cosmic Home Décor Guide event lets Trailblazers personalize their quarters, turning them into a cozy haven. Use Express Funds to collect furniture and decor to make your space truly your own.
Looking ahead to Honkai Star Rail Version 3.0, players can anticipate the debut of the Path of Remembrance, introducing memosprites to elevate combat strategy. The Relic system will also receive game-changing updates, allowing players to fine-tune stats with greater precision.
As an extra treat for new and returning Trailblazers alike, don’t miss the Gift of the Express event, where you can select one free regular 5-star character of your choice—available from Version 2.7 through 3.2, so be sure to claim yours soon!
Honkai Star Rail is available on PC, iOS, Android, Epic Games Store, and PS5. Gear up for an unforgettable adventure when the update launches! Visit the official site or follow their social media channels (X, Facebook & Instagram) to stay in the loop.
