Gargantuan PS5 RPG Honkai: Star Rail Will Fully Unveil Its Next Major Location on New Year's Day | Push Square
Need sobering up after a late night of New Year festivities? HoYoverse should have the goods, as it reveals Honkai: Star Rail’s next major destination, Amphoreus. A livestream, named Paean of Nova Era, will air on 1st January.
The life of a gacha game is filled with regular updates, but every year or so, titles receive massive milestone refreshes. In the case of the aforementioned fantasy RPG, it’s almost time for its v3.0 update, which will take the Trailblazer to a new, Greek-themed location.
The developer has been teasing glimpses of this new planet for weeks now, and after the latest storyline, we know popular character Sunday will be part of the group’s exploration efforts. There’ll be a new path to discover at the fresh destination, creating new team-building opportunities.
A new planet, in the context of Honkai: Star Rail, means a brand-new cast of characters, quests, and gameplay. Last year’s v2.0 update saw the introduction of Penacony, a theme park-like landscape with a pretty complicated storyline about people escaping from the real-world by checking into an ethereal dream world.
If we have any wishes for Amphoreus, we really hope HoYoverse can keep its lore in check. Belobog proved it’s possible for the developer to tell a relatively grounded storyline, detached from all of the complications of subsequent plots. Hopefully it’s hired an editor for this effort.
Either way, we’re excited to see how anticipated characters like The Herta and even the Remembrance path of the Trailblazer function. We’ll have a summary of the livestream after it airs.
