Celebrate Honkai: Star Rail's 2nd Anniversary in this upcoming update!

Story Highlights
  • Honkai: Star Rail is giving away 30x Pulls for free as celebration for their 2nd Anniversary!
  • Players can claim the limited characters Luocha OR Ruan Mei for free in the upcoming version!
  • Old Characters are expected to be given buffs and optimizations in the future updates!

HoYoverse is gearing up to release Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 update, titled “Through the Petals in the Land of Repose,” on 9th April 2025. This update celebrates HSR’s much-awaited 2nd anniversary alongside bringing new maps and epic story expansions to the world of Amphoreus, as well as introducing new and playable 5-star characters such as Castorice and Anaxa!

New Area – The Ruined City of Styxia

Let’s talk lore and exploration, because Styxia might be one of the most chilling locations in HSR yet. A sunken, haunted city filled with colossal dragon bones and restless souls? The vibe is impeccable! We’re diving into an ancient mystery tied to the Titans and a draconic calamity.

The story isn’t just ghosts and ruins, though. We’ve got political drama brewing in Okhema, secret alliances, and a Council of Elders trying to shut everything down. Meanwhile, the mysterious scholar Anaxa is lurking in the background with his shadowy agenda.

New Playable Characters in HSR Version 3.2

Castorice

Castorice is a 5-Star Quantum Unit following the Path of Remembrance. Her kit revolves around her Netherwing, a spectral dragon that burns its own HP to deal high damage.

She even has a near-death revival mechanic, which is a global passive. This means if one of your allies dies in the party, they get revived. This passive works even when Castorice is not on the team!

Anaxa

Anaxa is a 5-Star Wind Unit following the Path of Erudition. His kit revolves around Weakness-inflicting, follow-up attack-spamming playstyle. His Ultimate instantly stacks Weakness on all enemies, which sounds good for breaking shields.

Rerun Banners

For those who missed them, Fugue, Jiaoqiu, and Acheron are coming back in the first half, while Dr. Ratio returns in the second half.

Balance Changes for Older Units

In Version 3.4, Silver Wolf, Blade, Kafka, and Jingliu are getting buffs. We don’t know the details yet, but considering how much power creep has hit, I’d say it’s about time!

Anniversary Celebration: Free Pulls and Characters

This patch is also celebrating Star Rail’s 2nd Anniversary with some great freebies! The Festive Gifts event is handing out 20 free pulls just for logging in, which is already solid. But on top of that, April 26th, the official anniversary day, drops a commemorative card from a companion + 1,600 Stellar Jades into our inboxes!

Oh, and did I mention a free 5-star of your choice between Ruan Mei or Luocha? Because that’s happening as well!

Star Rail WORLD and Concert Event

The game is going all out for its second anniversary, with a global concert livestream on May 3rd, real-life screenings, and regional offline events. If you’re lucky enough to attend, grab that exclusive merch! Meanwhile, in-game, we get Star Rail WORLD, a management event where we organize a pan-cosmic gala.

Final Thoughts

Between a thrilling new story, a haunted dragon-ridden city, free pulls, top-tier new characters, reruns, and a literal concert, Version 3.2 is bringing the heat. If you haven’t been playing Honkai: Star Rail consistently, now’s the perfect time to jump back in!
