As a seasoned veteran of the gacha game realm, I must say that the latest news about Honkai: Star Rail’s update 3.0 Special Program has me both excited and a bit worried.

Prior to each new update, HoYoverse typically hosts a live stream event where they unveil the majority of content that will be featured in the subsequent version of “Honkai: Star Rail.

Previously, Honkai’s official social media platforms have verified that the upcoming update will introduce two fresh characters, each with a five-star rarity.

Honkai: Star Rail Special Program 3.0 Date and Time

  • January 1, 2025 19:30:00 (UTC+8)

As a movie buff excitedly anticipating the upcoming updates for Honkai: Star Rail, I’ve heard from reliable sources that the number of limited characters in each update is set to double! That’s right, instead of just four characters per update, we’ll now see eight, divided equally between two banner phases. This means that on average, every banner cycle will offer one brand-new five-star character and three returning favorites. The first banner, according to these leaks, will include The Herta along with Feixiao, Jade, and Lingsha. The second part of the update is rumored to feature Aglaea, Robin, Boothill, and Silverwolf. I can hardly contain my excitement!

It’s advisable to view these rumors cautiously, and gamers won’t receive definitive details about the upcoming changes until January 1st. However, it’s been confirmed that the next update for Honkai: Star Rail will introduce The Herta and Aglaea, and a new path called Path of Remembrance. This novel path seems to center around summons, which is anticipated to supplant the existing Break meta with a fresh gameplay style.

Just like Genshin Impact introduced a new version of the Traveler, Honkai: Star Rail is anticipated to introduce a new trail form for the Trailblazer in its 3.0 update. Unlike the main character of Honkai, Aglaea won’t be the only Remembrance character in this update; her official description confirms that she too will follow this new path.
