To commemorate the upcoming release of Honkai: Star Rail’s third iteration, HoYoVerse has announced that its special program will premiere on New Year’s Day: January 1, 2025. What awaits at Amphoreus? The Astral Sphere is poised for departure, accompanied by forthcoming events and personas that promise to captivate and intrigue.
The system will commence operations at 7:30 PM UTC+8, translating to 3:30 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST) and 6:30 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST). The livestream is likely to not only provide a preview of upcoming events and rewards in version 3.0, but also feature introductory reveals for the highly anticipated five-star characters Herta and Aglaea, set to join the game’s roster. As a nod to their history, Aglaea stands poised to take center stage as the primary Remembrance character in this reimagined world, while The Herta emerges as a newly refined, five-star version of an earlier four-star personality, much like the recently introduced Fugue, whose evolution mirrors that of its predecessor.
Stream details can be found on both YouTube and Twitch, as well as in the accompanying tweet below.
In early December 2024, HoYoVerse unveiled an exciting new trailer showcasing Fugue, the upcoming five-star incarnation of the beloved character Tingyun. Bandai Spirits has officially disclosed further details about its upcoming SH Figuarts figure of SAM, slated for a September 2025 release date.
Available immediately for PC, PS5, and mobile devices, while the Live Steam update for version 3.0 is set to launch live on January 1, 2025.
