Honkai: Star Rail\'s newest expansion arrives the middle of this month, with a new planet and more

Honkai: Star Rail's next chapter launches January 15th, introducing a thrilling new adventure!

Prepare for the arrival of Honkai: Star Rail's latest expansion on January 15th, bringing with it a fresh wave of excitement. This update promises a significant addition to the game's already rich storyline.

This new expansion kicks off a major new chapter, transporting players to the enigmatic planet Amphoreus. The Trailblazer's mission unfolds across two expansive parts, spanning versions 3.0 to 3.7, marking MiHoYo's most ambitious expansion yet.

The Astral Express, needing to replenish its Trailblaze Fuel, lands on Amphoreus, a planet shrouded in mystery and a chaotic vortex, making external study impossible. Its inhabitants are seemingly unaware of the wider universe, promising a unique and challenging exploration experience.

Unraveling the secrets of Amphoreus

Players will not face this challenge alone. The expansion introduces three new playable characters: Herta, Aglaea, and the Remembrance Trailblazer. Familiar faces will also return throughout the expansion, with limited five-star characters Lingsha Feixiao and Jade making a comeback in the first half, and Boothill, Robin, and Silver Wolf appearing in the second.

MiHoYo's commitment to Honkai: Star Rail is evident, especially following the successful launch of Zenless Zone Zero last year. This suggests a continued focus on delivering high-quality and engaging experiences for players.
