by

This morning, during a special program for Honkai: Star Rail, HoYoverse revealed the upcoming version update for their space-exploring RPG. The next installment, titled Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 “Light Slips the Gate, Shadow Greets the Throne”, is set to debut on February 26, 2025.

In the latest version, The Trailblazer is assigned as a guide, joining forces with fellow travelers to discover a fresh location called the Grove of Epiphany. In this update, players together with their allies will embark on an epic adventure known as the Flame-Chase Journey, delving into unexplored regions and experiencing a vibrant array of exciting happenings.

Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1 – New Playable Characters

Two fresh characters, Tribbie and Mydei, are set to join the storyline, each bringing their distinct narratives to an ongoing tale. Tribbie, in particular, will let players tap into the power of Oronyx to summon whispers from yesteryears, guiding them towards a brand-new location where the Fate’s Abyss, formerly Janusopolis, stands in its daytime form. As they progress, they will unearth hidden truths dating back to the Chrysea Era, gradually piecing together Tribbie’s past.

In the game, Tribbie is a top-tier Quantum character who adheres to the Path of Harmony. During battles, she sets up a unique zone that increases enemy damage taken. Whenever an enemy within this zone gets attacked, Tribbie inflicts extra damage on the one with the highest health. Additionally, she often triggers Follow-up Attacks to assist her team in swiftly concluding fights. By enhancing the opportunities for her teammates to deal damage, she simultaneously boosts the overall fighting capacity of her team. Moreover, she frequently activates Follow-up Attacks to aid her team in wrapping up battles promptly.

Concerning Mydei, he is an exceptional fictional character who adheres to the Destruction Path. In combat, Mydei effectively leverages his immortal status to engage enemies. Boasting maximum Health Points (HP), he can absorb HP to power up, transitioning into a boosted form in the process. When boosted, Mydei autonomously attacks enemies during his turn, inflicting more damage. Tribbei’s banner will be accessible in the initial phase of Version 3.1, along with a re-run for Yunli. The second half will introduce Mydei’s banner, bringing back Huohuo as well.

Honkai Star Rail’s New Events and Storylines

Alongside fresh characters and plot twists, Version 3.1 offers a host of thrilling happenings. One standout event is the launch of Divergent Universe’s latest season, which delves into a novel area of study surrounding Amphoreus. In this season, battles will incorporate the cutting-edge Day and Night System, where fighting shifts between day and night. Each phase offers distinct advantages, while transitions between them trigger additional effects.

Notably, the Day-Night System and its linked Benefits are intricately tied to the Titans and Chrysos Heirs, introducing depths of strategy and story into the gameplay. Also, Trailblazers will engage in the Awooo Firm event, assuming the role of manager to aid a chimera team in Okhema. By offering advice and assistance, Trailblazers will empower the team to improve their performance and ultimately become the dominant force among all.

Improvements to the Trailblazer Story

To round things off, during the Special Program, we heard from Shaoji, the writer of Honkai Series, and Punk, our game designer. In their messages, they shared insights about the feedback they’ve gathered from players regarding the Version 3.0 Trailblazer Story.

From Version 3.1, through to Version 3.2, the developers plan to smooth out the game’s puzzles and eliminate specific adversaries. This is aimed at ensuring that playing Amorpheus doesn’t become tiresome or awkward due to its storyline.
