Honkai: Star Rail's Anniversary & New Chapter Launching Soon

• Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 arrives on April 9th, introducing exciting new content.
• Two new five-star characters, Castorice and Anaxa, will join the roster.
• Look out for special anniversary events and exclusive rewards as well.

As one of developer MiHoYo's most successful titles, Honkai: Star Rail has smoothly entered its second year of operation. For dedicated players eager to see what’s in store, the recently revealed second-anniversary rewards and Version 3.2 details bring plenty of excitement.

Before diving into the anniversary festivities, let’s explore the Version 3.2 update. This chapter continues the Flame-Chase Journey, with the Trailblazers and Chrysos Heirs entangled in political schemes.

The update also introduces two new five-star characters: Castorice (Remembrance) and Anaxa (Erudition). Each brings unique abilities—such as sacrificing HP to unleash damage or applying powerful debuffs to enemies—adding fresh strategies to the game.

For many players, the main attraction is the second-anniversary celebration starting April 9th, alongside Version 3.2. During the Festive Gifts event, you can claim 20 free Star Rail Passes simply by logging in daily.

Then, on April 26th, receive a special commemorative in-game card from a companion plus 1,600 Stellar Jade. What’s more, you’ll have the chance to choose a free five-star character—either Ruan Mei or Luocha.
