Themost recentHonkai: Star Railleakreported the rumored lineup ofVersion 2.0. Prominent leaker hsr_stuff2, per Stepleaker, tweeted that the banner will allegedly include five-stars Hanabi/Sparkle (Quantum, Path of Harmony) and Black Swan (Wind, Path of Nihility), and four-star Misha (Ice, Path of Destruction). The two five-star characters were revealed in earlier leaks, but wereconsidered unusedsince they didn’t have a final version release back then. Black Swan, in particular, had already made an appearance in the first “Myriad Celestia” cinematic. If the leak turns out to be real, thenHonkai: Star Railfans have a lot to look forward to in the coming months.
ManyHonkai: Star Railfans had a lot of questions following the leak report, like whether HoYoverse planned to change Hanabi’s name to Sparkle. Some also questioned whether thenew world Penaconywould be introduced in Version 1.6 or 2.0 as it seemed to be taking a while to debut. Meanwhile, others expressed their confusion as to whyHonkai: Star Railmight jump to Version 2.0 after 1.6.
It’s important to note that the leaks aren’t final yet, soHonkai: Star Railfans will have to take them with a grain of salt for now. There had been instances inHonkai: Star Railand even fellow HoYoverse gameGenshin Impactwherein characters were leaked, but ended up either being scrapped or taking a long time before they could officially debut. One such character wasDracula, who existed inHonkai Impact 3rdand was initially believed to be joiningHonkai: Star Rail’s roster before all the online reports had been wiped.
For now, manyHonkai: Star Railplayers have been continuously farming Stellar Jades in preparation for the Version 1.4 banner characters. They’ll also have more opportunities to farm materials inVersion 1.4’s new eventsand missions.
Honkai: Star Railis available now on PC and mobile devices, with a PS5 version releasing on October 11.
