Honkai: Star Rail developer HoYoverse revealed the release date for the upcoming Version 2.3 of the game will be June 19, 2024 . The announcement came after the Version 2.3 Special Program stream that also showed a preview of what is to come in the patch, including new characters, events, codes, and story missions.
The Special Program stream first shared details about the mechanics of the two new characters, the Fire and Destruction character Firefly, and the Quantum Erudition character Jade. Firefly takes to battle wearing her Iron Cavalry armor known as SAM and is a break-focused character that expends health to use skills, before entering a special mode with her ultimate. Jade, meanwhile, boosts an ally’s attack at the expense of health while charging a follow-up attack that can be further boosted with her ultimate.
We also saw some glimpses at the upcoming story, which takes place on an Airship called the Radiant Feldspar and looks to involve both Sparkle’s distributed explosives and IPC intrigue on Penacony. There are also a bevy of new events on the way including a new variant on the Simulated Universe game mode, called “Divergent Universe: Human Comedy” that will allow players to use characters they own but haven’t yet fully built or levelled up.
You can find the official Twitter announcement of the date here and watch the 2.3 Preview trailer via Youtube below:
Though the 2.3 update isn’t out yet, HoYoverse have begun drip marketing for future characters already. Yunli is set to be a Physical and Destruction type character, while Foxian Jiaoqiu is a Fire character on the path of Nihility.
The Honkai: Star Rail Version release date for the 2.3 update is June 19, 2024. It will include gacha banners for Firefly and Ruan Mei. The game itself is readily available on PC, PS5, and mobile devices.
