It has been announced by HOYOVERSE that the official release of version 3.5 of Honkai: Star Rail, titled “Before your deaths”, will commence on August 13, and it will mark the introduction of the second half of the Amphoreus history. The upcoming stage will introduce Hysilens and Empress Cerydra as new playable characters. Additionally, players can expect new conflicts, familiar characters in new forms and an entirely new map, namely Styxia, the never-ending polis feast.
In this release, players will immerse themselves in a new narrative arc that flashbacks a millennium to ancient Okhema, where the original primordial flame empress resided. Hysilens, the Sacred Polis Knights’ Commander and a 5-star physical-type character, specializes in continuous damage creation and enhancement. Cerydra, another 5-star character but of wind type, is characterized by a gameplay style focused on accumulating buffs, considerably amplifying allies’ attack potential.
The 3.5 version also re-introduces popular limited characters, Kafka and Silver Wolf, at hyper-spatial jump events. Coupled with the addition of a voice-alternation feature for collaborative characters, it also includes thematically organized events like “Great Restaurant of Chrysos’ Labyrinth” and “Old drinks & new friendships“, that promise unique management and NPC interaction experiences. To extend the excitement, the presence of Honkai: Star Rail at Gamescom 2025 is confirmed. Visitors can look forward to exclusive gifts and special activities at the booth.
