Honkai: Star Rail Leak Shows New Astral Express NPC
A recent leak shared by prominent HoYoverse leaker HomDGCat is teasing the next NPC member of Honkai: Star Rail's Astral Express. According to the post, a new robotic character named "Shush" will be joining the Astral Express, said to be a robot created by the Void Archive after being kicked off the Astral Express. The robot will reportedly be limited to the Astral Express' "Meeting Car" and will convert the location into a "Party Car," complete with a bar, cafeteria, and board games. The leak did not confirm when Shush will be coming to Honkai: Star Rail.
Shush's rumored backstory will bring another major connection between Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai: Star Rail with its introduction. Shush's creator, Void Archive, serves as a major character in Honkai Impact 3rd, playing a significant role in the "A Post-Honkai Odyssey" story within the game. The crew of the Astral Express already features multiple callbacks to important members of Honkai Impact 3rd's cast, with Himeko as an alternate-universe version and Welt being the same Welt Yang from the previous game.
The introduction of a new member of the Astral Express comes as more information is starting to surface about the Honkai: Star Rail train's next stop. Early information has begun to tease the fourth playable world coming to Honkai: Star Rail, said to be themed after the Greek and Roman empires. Leaks have also begun to hint at new mechanics coming with the Version 3.0 world, suggesting that "time-bending" will be a core gimmick. Fans of Honkai: Star Rail's lore should have plenty to look forward to with Shush's introduction and more connections to Honkai Impact 3rd.
