HoYoverse has officially confirmed that Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3, titled “The Fall at Dawn’s Rise,” will launch globally on May 21, 2025 — marking the epic conclusion of the long-running Flame-Chase Journey arc. This highly anticipated update introduces two new 5-star characters, massive endgame battles, and thrilling time-limited events that promise to reshape the interstellar experience for Trailblazers worldwide.
🛡️ Face the Sky Titan in the Final Flame-Chase Chapter
In the climactic showdown of the Flame-Chase arc, players will fight alongside the Chrysos Heirs against the legendary Sky Titan, Aquila — a hundred-eyed, celestial avian giant said to control dawn and dusk itself. This final confrontation will determine the fate of Amphoreus, where ancient prophecies, mythological forces, and galactic destiny collide.
This patch also adds a new Echo of War instance — “Glance of Twilight” — offering elite challenges and generous loot to power up your roster ahead of the galaxy-shaking finale.
🌬️ Meet Hyacine and Cipher: New 5-Star Characters in 3.3
Two fresh 5-star heroes enter the spotlight in Version 3.3, expanding both story depth and team-building options.
Hyacine – The Healing Force of Twilight
- Type: Wind | Path: Remembrance
- Role: Team-wide Healer & Max HP Booster
Hyacine, the compassionate Chief Physician of the Twilight Courtyard, heals allies with her adorable companion Little Ica, while also increasing Max HP and offering bonus survivability. Her synergy with self-sacrificing characters opens up strategic team compositions for long, grueling fights.
Cipher – The Trickster of Pain
- Type: Quantum | Path: Nihility
- Role: Damage Tracker & Follow-Up Attacker
Cipher, one of the original Chrysos Heirs, marks the enemy with the highest Max HP and tracks all damage they receive. With a high-impact Ultimate, she converts stored damage into True DMG bursts, punishing bosses and elite foes alike. Cipher thrives on battlefield control and manipulation.
Additionally, fan-favorite characters The Herta and Aglaea return in 3.3’s Warp banners, giving both collectors and combatants reasons to roll.
🏁 Race, Swing, and Conquer: New Events in Version 3.3
HoYoverse continues to elevate gameplay variety with two major limited-time events:
- Penacony Speed Cup – Spheroid Racing Tournament
Strap into your Spheroid Racer and speed through sci-fi tracks as Trailblazers compete for glory and exclusive rewards. - Legend of the Galactic Baseballer: Demon King
A quirky, narrative-driven mini-game featuring a raccoon hero’s journey to reclaim a lost bat. The full launch comes with gameplay refinements based on player feedback from the recent beta.
