by

  • Honkai: Star Rail version 4.2 ‘So Laughed the Masses’ is now available on mobile
  • It features whopping new twists in the story, alongside two new characters
  • And there are plenty of teasers about what’s coming for Honkai’s anniversary

MiHoYo often releases big updates on Fridays, which can be a bit stressful for those of us covering the news, but it also gives players something to really look forward to. Version 4.2, titled ‘So Laughed the Masses,’ is shaping up to be one of those exciting updates!

The story picks up with the Phantasmoon Games in full force on Planarcadia. The prize? Becoming the permanent Aeon of Elation – a truly incredible reward. However, a public debate about the Games’ implications has drawn in the Trailblazer and their friends, and it’s clear that not everyone approves of what’s at stake.

When facing a tough challenge, having strong allies is essential. The new five-star characters, Silver Wolf LV.999 and Evanescia, are excellent choices to build your team around. Our Honkai: Star Rail tier list can help you discover the best characters to pair them with.

Game over

Meanwhile, to celebrate the third anniversary, you’ll be able to jump into a number of new events. Cosmic Data Roaming, in particular, offers an interesting new concept where your Trailblazer can build their own streaming career by broadcasting their finest moments in combat.

This weekend, look forward to exciting events like Express Renovation Escapade and Relic Recon, plus the release of Cosmicon Collective version 2.0! We’re also launching a new warp event and adding other great features. Honkai Star Rail fans will have a lot to enjoy!
