- Version 3.5 explores the second half of the Amphoreus storyline
- Players gain access to new 5-star characters Hysilens and Cerydra
- Fresh gameplay includes map exploration, bartending events, and fairy cuisine service
HoYoverse maintains momentum following Honkai: Star Rail's Fate/Stay Night crossover with Version 3.5: Before Their Deaths. Launching later this month, this update advances the Amphoreus narrative while introducing surprising gameplay diversions - including temporal displacement and bartending activities.
The update continues Version 3.4's storyline, expanding Styxian mythology through Phainon's unresolved promise. The new Trailblaze Mission transports players alongside Cyrene to ancient Okhema during Imperator Cerydra's rule. Eternal Recurrence mechanics will particularly resonate with players who enjoy deciphering enigmatic prophecies amidst fiery combat.
Version 3.5 introduces two formidable 5-star recruits: Hysilens, a Physical Nihility specialist excelling in damage-over-time compositions and debuffing enemies within her Zone; and Cerydra, a Wind Harmony tactician whose tactical buffs intensify as battles progress. Both promise to strengthen strategic team compositions.
The gacha system will feature rotating banners including Stellar Jade, Kafka and Silver Wolf for players who missed previous opportunities. Exploration expands to Styxia: City of Infinite Revelry, featuring a climactic battle against Lygus - an antagonist notorious for shifting allegiances.
Players can claim additional rewards using active Honkai: Star Rail redemption codes.
Version 3.5 diversifies gameplay with Chrysos Maze Grand Restaurant's magical catering events and Old Brews & New Friends' bartending nostalgia. A new voice option allows seamless switching between dubbed and original character voices during gameplay.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.5 arrives on August 13th.
