A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail is teasing several enemies expected to be added to the game with the launch of the fourth explorable world. The three full worlds currently featured in the popular sci-fi RPG from HoYoverse have allowed players to explore a wide variety of different terrains and locales. From the frozen tundras and dingy underbelly of Jarilo-VI to the commercial hubs of the Xianzhou Luofu and the fantastical dreamscapes found within Penacony, each Honkai: Star Rail world has carried its own unique charm. Now, leaks are starting to tease the game's next world.
While HoYoverse has not officially announced the fourth world set to be added to Honkai: Star Rail, early leaks have already begun to tease the next planet. Leaks have hinted at Star Rail's fourth planet as being heavily inspired by the Greek and Roman empires, potentially featuring hot springs found throughout the world. The world's gimmick has also been suggested to be related to "time-bending" according to leaks, though details of the mechanic have yet to be confirmed. New information from the game could now reveal several enemies coming with the world.
Honkai: Star Rail Finally Reveals Sunday's Playable Release
Honkai: Star Rail has finally revealed the upcoming playable release for one of the sci-fi RPG's most highly-anticipated characters, Sunday.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals Enemies from Fourth World
A new post shared by Honkai: Star Rail leaker Sakura Haven is teasing the names of several enemies in Honkai: Star Rail's fourth world. The post shares data discovered about enemies coming in "Version 3.X," with "Hearse," "Nikadory," "Unicorn," and "Griffin" named as potential enemies within the world. The leak details that the Unicorn and Griffin enemies will both feature a new mechanic, using attacks that target all characters not in the player's first party position. While a release date for Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.0 has not been confirmed, the update is expected to launch in early 2025.
New Enemies
- Hearse
- Nikadory
- Unicorn
- Griffin
While the leak does not share many specifics about Honkai: Star Rail's new enemies, it does speculate about the identities of some of the enemies. Given the Star Rail world's supposed connection to Greece and Rome, the leaker speculates that "Hearse" may be connected to the Herse of Athens, a princess in Greek mythology. "Nikadory" is also speculated to be connected to "Nik" and "Dory," the Greek terms for victory and spear, potentially giving clues about the enemy either being an autonomous spear or wielding the weapon.
Early information about Honkai: Star Rail's next world comes as HoYoverse has a huge update on the way for the sci-fi RPG. The developer confirmed the release of two highly-anticipated characters in Version 2.7, revealing that both Sunday and Fugue will become playable during the update. Early leaks have also begun to hint at another significant new character coming in the future, with Herta rumored to be receiving a five-star variant. Star Rail players look to have an exciting few months ahead with major character releases and a new world on the way.
