Honkai: Star Rail is set to release its highly anticipated Version 3.2 update, titled 'Through the Petals in the Land of Repose,' on April 9th. This update introduces new lore, thrilling battles, and fresh characters to the game. As Honkai: Star Rail approaches its two-year anniversary, HoYoVerse is planning a series of special events and giveaways to celebrate this milestone.

What’s in Store in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2?

Version 3.2 introduces two new 5-star characters: Castorice (Remembrance) and Anaxa (Erudition). Castorice comes with a heart-wrenching backstory and powerful abilities. As a Chrysos Heir, she carries the burden of the Touch of Death and is on a quest to find the lost Coreflame of Death, wielding the formidable Netherwing.

Anaxa, on the other hand, brings a scholarly perspective to the team. As one of the Seven Sages of the Grove of Epiphany, his experiences have profoundly altered his perception of reality. His Ultimate, Sublimation, can impose seven Weaknesses on all enemies simultaneously, making him a crucial asset in battles.

Returning characters will also grace the banners in this update. During the first half of Version 3.2, you can look forward to reruns of Fugue, Jiaoqiu, and Acheron. If you missed Dr. Ratio previously, he'll be available again in the second half.

Additionally, HoYoverse has teased balance changes coming in Version 3.4 for characters like Silver Wolf, Blade, Kafka, and Jingliu. While specifics are yet to be revealed, these changes are eagerly awaited by the community. Get a sneak peek at what's coming in Version 3.2 by watching the trailer below.

The Story This Time Is Heading to Styxia

The storyline in this update takes players to Styxia, a forgotten city submerged beneath the Sea of Souls. This haunting locale is strewn with dragon bones and inhabited by spirits. Players will guide Castorice through this eerie environment, unraveling the mysteries of the Titans and the draconic disaster that devastated the city.

To celebrate the game's two-year anniversary, HoYoverse is offering players 20 free pulls just for logging in. On April 26th, the anniversary day, players will receive 1,600 Stellar Jades and a special in-game card from a companion. Additionally, players can choose a free 5-star character from between Ruan Mei or Luocha.
