Hoyoverse has released the 1.5 Update Program, accompanied by its release date and other key announcements. The program also details the new Outfit system, which enables players to customize costume changes for their playable characters. The replacement launches on January 22nd, 2025. Three key individuals introducing new appearances are Astra Yao, Ellen Joe, and Nicole Demara.
The 1.5 storyline will feature characters from the Stars of Lyra series. A special focus is placed on Astra’s New Year’s live performance, with S-Rank Brokers Astra and Evelyn set to join forces as the two new Sign Search banners in this upcoming patch. Astra’s iconic S-Rank W-Engine likely bears the moniker Elegant Self-Importance, while Evelyn’s counterpart, the enigmatic Heartstring Nocturne, holds a distinct mystique. Two new Bamboo trees are expected to sprout soon. The original banner characters will be replaced, with Ellen and Qingyi being the first two to reprise their roles? The Godfinger Arcade is set to introduce a thrilling Mach 25 minigame that will take gamers on an electrifying ride. Notable episodes such as An Astra Particular Episode, Ellen Agent Story, Limitless Tower: The Final Stand, and others like Good Overture, Eh-Nah into Your Lap, The Day of Great Need, Elpis Final Angler Championship, and Godfinger’s Final Showdown make their debut.
The primary three outfits – Astra, Ellen, and Nicole – had previously been unveiled with their corresponding names. The Astra collection features a striking black and white gown, aptly named Chandelier for its dramatic flair and ability to make a lasting impression like the sparkle of a chandelier. Established by Ellen’s, its college uniform division operates under the name On Campus. The Crafty Cutie persona of Nicole has become well-known for its casual style. Among the three, Nicole’s will likely be the sole exception, as we’ll have the opportunity to earn it as a special occasion reward.
