Developer HoYoverse has taken to the official Twitter account of turn-based RPG Honkai: Star Rail to reveal that the first animated short “A Flash” is set to be officially released on May 10th.
“A fleeting flash — thus is the speed of swift blades as the teacher and student spar, and thus is the whirlwind passage of the unceasing torrent of time.”
The preview image shows Jing Yuan, an upcoming playable 5-star character (Erudition/Lightning) and one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou Alliance. He is also one of the Six Charioteers of the Xianzhou Luofu and an important part of the available Trailblaze missions. Could the animated short focus on his relationship with his retainer Yanqing, another playable 5-star? Stay tuned to find out!
If you want a refresher the lore of the Xianzhou, HoYoverse shared the Myriad Celestia Trailer dedicated to the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou to bring players up to speed. Additionally, the team teased the character banners coming in Honkai Star Rail version 1.1 – follow the link above to find out more.
“Amidst the starry river flows, bowstrings taut, our song it goes. Weapons and war cries, in battle meet, the enemy’s lines, we shall defeat. The path ahead is long and fraught, dangers abound, with no peace sought. Banners and flags obscure the sky, fighting against monsters, we seek to survive.”
