The next Honkai: Star Rail livestream has been scheduled and will reveal update 1.3 to fans of the space RPG – with fresh characters, events, and quests, this patch is going to introduce the next wave of content. This next update is titled Celestial Eyes Above Mortal Ruins and the voice actors for Dan Heng/Imbibitor Lunae and Sushang as well as upcoming character Fu Xuan will lead us through the special program alongside our friendly owl mascot.

Honkai: Star Rail 1.3 livestream: what to expect

Three brand-new characters have been confirmed to join the roster during update 1.3: We’ve met Fu Xuan, the head of the Divination Commission on the Xianzhou Luofu, and Imbibitor Lunae, the original form of Dan Heng, during the story already. Lynx, the younger sister of Serval and Gepard, will be a new acquaintance for everyone.

Update 1.3 will boost the maximum amount of Trailblaze Power players can store at a time along with other neat improvements, so we’ll probably hear more about that during the stream as well. There will also be a Simulated Universe update with new items available in Herta’s Shop.

Finally, Honkai: Star Rail promo codes will be dropped during the show and enable you to stock up on additional Stellas Jade.
