Honkai: Star Rail is set to receive its next major content update on 21 May 2025, with the release of Version 3.3 titled The Fall at Dawn’s Rise. Developer and publisher HoYoverse has confirmed that the update will mark the final chapter of the Flame-Chase Journey narrative arc, and is set to feature a number of other new features, unlockables and more.
Continuing the storyline from the previous version, Trailblazers will align with the Chrysos Heirs as they confront the Sky Titan, Aquila — a mythical being described as a hundred-eyed bird that governs the cycle of day and night. The update will also add a new Echo of War activity titled Glance of Twilight, providing new combat challenges and rewards.
Alongside the evolving story, Version 3.3 will delve deeper into the fate of Amphoreus, a world whose people pursue a new era from within, while external observers, the Geniuses, investigate its origins. Following the appearance of Madam Herta’s data spirit in the Vortex of Genesis, the storyline will begin to reveal the root of Amphoreus’s tragedy and its connection to the broader galaxy.
Two new characters will join the roster, should lady luck shine upon you and you’re able to pull them from the wish banner:
Hyacine is a five-star Wind-type character aligned with the Path of Remembrance. As chief physician of the Twilight Courtyard, she focuses on team-wide healing and survivability. Her companion, Little Ica, aids by healing allies when their HP is lost and attacking enemies, with its damage output scaling based on healing performed. Her Ultimate restores HP for all allies and increases their maximum HP.
Cipher, a five-star Quantum-type character on the Path of Nihility, was one of the earliest Chrysos Heirs. Specialising in dealing with high-HP enemies, she marks a target to track all incoming damage and deals additional True Damage based on that accumulated value. Her skill set allows adaptive switching of marked targets and follow-up attacks during allied offensives.
In what is a surprisingly quick return for a second banner (both featuring in Version 3.0), these two new characters will be complemented by rerun banners for The Herta and Aglaea in the first and second halves respectively.
Version 3.3 will also introduce several time-limited events. These include the Penacony Speed Cup Spheroid Racing Tournament, which allows players to race Spheroid Racers in competitive challenges, and the official release of Legend of the Galactic Baseballer: Demon King, following a positive response during its earlier beta testing phase.
If you are after the Version 3.3 Livestream Redemption Codes, they are: WS25K4Y4C5ET, GT34K5Z4U4EX and SAJ4KLZLDMW3.
