Here’s everything coming in the new Honkai Star Rail 4.0 update – and why all of my time will be lost to the new collectable card game.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 40 launches on February 13
The update adds a new planet, new characters, a CCG, and new events
Plus, the chance to get a free limited five-star character and 1,600 Stellar Jade
Oh no, they’ve done it now: a collectible card game is coming to Honkai Star Rail in the upcoming 4.0 update.
Sure, there are two new playable characters, a handful of new or expanded events, a generous amount of freebies, and an entire new planet to explore – but I know where I’m really about to lose all of my gaming time.
Before I get lost in the excitement of another game where you collect digital trading cards, let me cover the real key updates that are on the way in Version 4.0, ‘No Aha At Full Moon’, when it launches on February 13.
So, the characters. Joining the game when the update launches is Yao Guang, a five-star Physical character on the new path of Elation. As a support, she makes allies deals Elation damage, and is all about causing additional triggers of the new Aha Instants mechanic that causes other Elation characters to activate specific skills. A pretty vital piece, then, if you’re building a team around the new path.
