Honkai: Star Rail Celebrates Second Anniversary with Artbook Giveaway and Gacha Updates
2025-03-10 00:14:31HoYoverse is gearing up to celebrate the second anniversary of its hit sci-fi RPG, Honkai: Star Rail, and leaks are hinting at exciting festivities for players.
The game's initial launch in April 2023 was a resounding success, surpassing 20 million downloads in just one day. Now, HoYoverse is planning a grand celebration to mark the game's second year.
Leaks suggest that Version 3.2 will bring significant login rewards, including Star Rail Special Passes and a generous amount of Stellar Jades. Additionally, rumors are circulating about major changes to the gacha system, specifically the "50/50" mechanic, and the introduction of new animations for five-star character pulls.
Perhaps the most exciting news is the potential release of Honkai: Star Rail's first official artbook. Leaker Sakura Haven suggests that the artbook will feature character designs, concept art, and background illustrations from locations like the Herta Space Station, Belobog, the Xianzhou Luofu, and Penacony. While showcasing the game's early content, it notably omits the newer world of Amphoreus.
This artbook will be accompanied by a special giveaway, offering players the chance to win a copy of this exclusive collection. Both the artbook and giveaway are anticipated to launch in April, coinciding with the game's anniversary.
Characters from Penacony, including fan favorites like Robin, Sunday, and Aventurine, are likely to be featured prominently in the artbook, adding to its appeal for collectors.
Beyond the artbook and giveaway, Version 3.2 will also introduce two new playable characters: Castorice and Anaxa. These new additions will further expand the game's diverse roster and offer players new team compositions and strategies.
