Trailblazers are still busily exploring and advancing through turn-based RPG Honkai Star Rail but HoYoverse is already looking ahead. The developers have teased new characters that will be featured in the banners in the game Version 1.1 through Weibo, a Chinese social network. If Genshin-esque 3-weeks-per-banner estimates apply to Star Rail, it is expected to arrive around June 7th.
Here’s the list of newcomers so you can decide whether to roll now or save your space Primogems for later. At the moment, the game has only one Imaginary unit – Welt – and so it is great to see another duo coming:
- Silver Wolf (5-star Quantum);
- Luocha (5-star Imaginary);
- Yukong (4-star Imaginary).

- Silver Wolf

- Luocha

- Yukong
But while it might be the most important announcement yet in terms of gameplay, HoYoverse also shared a couple of trailers to expand the creative side of things.
Those who have made it to Xianzhou Luofu could probably tell right from the get-go that this region is ripe with lore and history. To bring players up to speed, the team shared a Myriad Celestia Trailer dedicated to the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou.
“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.”
For those who are more interested in the real world or in the process of bringing Star Rail to life, there is another video titled “Express Travel Notes — Next Stop, Yi County” that invites Trailblazers along to experience the cultural beauty of Huizhou architecture. Check it out below!
