Author:Kristen Update:May 13,2025

As Honkai: Star Rail, one of MiHoYo's most successful releases, celebrates its second year, fans have much to look forward to with the upcoming version 3.2 update on April 9th. This update brings not only new content but also exciting anniversary rewards to mark the game's continued success.

Let's dive into the details of the 3.2 update first. This update will introduce fresh narrative elements as the Trailblazers and Chrysos Heirs delve into political intrigue in the next chapter of the Flame-Chase Journey. Alongside the new storyline, version 3.2 will introduce two new five-star characters: Castorice (Remembrance) and Anaxa (Erudition). Castorice utilizes their own HP to unleash powerful attacks, while Anaxa specializes in dealing significant debuffs to enemies, adding new strategic depth to your team compositions.

On April 26th, players will receive a commemorative in-game card from a companion, along with 1600 Stellar Jade. The highlight of the anniversary event is the chance to obtain a free five-star character, with the option to choose between Ruan Mei or Luocha.
