Instead of having several voice actors come in to participate in the program, it looks like we’re getting a sequel to one of the earliest Honkai: Star Rail livestreams hosted by March 7th. The artwork for the upcoming show features her prominently and doesn’t contain any other figures, so it looks like March 7th’s streaming career continues – she’s a young lady with many talents.

Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 livestream: what to expect

Version 2.4 left us on a major story cliffhanger: Hoolay escaped from the Shackling Prison on the Xianzhou Luofu with Jiaoqiu as a hostage – but the sly Foxian was able to trick the Borisin into hiding instead of outright fleeing from the ship by making him think that his archnemesis, Jingliu, might be en route for a rematch.

This is going according to Jing Yuan’s plans, who had hoped to root out all of his enemies in one fell swoop by allowing them to join together for this coup – but will the gamble pay off? That’s the question update 2.5’s story will have to answer.

Alongside a continuation of this Trailblaze Continuance Mission, players can look forward to the introduction of three brand-new characters: Feixiao, Lingsha, and Moze.

Naturally, the will also drop some fresh Honkai: Star Rail redemption codes for additional Stellar Jade.
