Honkai: Star Rail has announced version 3.0, which will arrive on January 15. The update marks an important moment for Honkai: Star Rail players, as the game will leave one of its best-known locations to introduce new characters and settings while keeping familiar faces around.
The most recent Honkai: Star Rail version is 2.7, which came out in December 2024 and bid farewell to the journey in Penacony. The patch introduced players to two new five-star characters, Sunday and Fugue. At the same time, Jing Yuan and Firefly returned to the game's banners. Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.7 added two new Lightcones, all-new events, missions, and updates to the Divergent Universe, Memory of Chaos, and Pure Fiction modes. Now, HoYoverse confirms exciting news for the open-world RPG to kick off a new year.
