Summary
- Honkai: Star Rail is rumored to be introducing the Remembrance Path with the ability to summon independent servants.
- Possible new gameplay mechanics may allow for control over active servant characters on the field.
- Speculation suggests servants could tie into the upcoming Fate/Stay Night crossover content slated for 2025.
A Honkai: Star Rail leak revealed new details about the rumored servant mechanic that's rumored to be part of the new Path. Honkai: Star Rail is gearing up for the release of its next major update, Version 3.0, next year, and developer HoYoverse might have exciting gameplay on the horizon.
There have been multiple rumors that Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0 onwards might introduce a new Path called Remembrance, which the Trailblazer might adopt in their next form. If confirmed, this would be the first time that the Remembrance Path becomes playable beyond the Simulated Universe's Blessings. Leaks have also suggested that the Remembrance Path might involve summoning allies known as "servants."
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases Upcoming Character
A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak is teasing a potential upcoming character coming to the game after the launch of its fourth playable world.
Prominent leaker HomDGCat has shared new information about the rumored servant mechanic, stating that Honkai: Star Rail might add a separate option to access Servant DMG and Servant Ability. Based on this, it's possible that the servants might not be passive beings on the field, and could be controlled as if they are an independent character. This could also be related to the previously leaked on-field summon mechanic that's said to come with Aglaea's Ultimate.
Honkai: Star Rail's Rumored New Servant Mechanic Could Be Revolutionary
- Rumored Remembrance Path: Allegedly gives characters the ability to summon servants that act independently.
If the leak is reliable, this would be the first time that Honkai: Star Rail will introduce a mechanic like this in the main game. In the past, many fans have theorized that the summon mechanic could be similar to how the Trailblazer controlled the Lordly Trash Cans in the "Friendship is Magic!" Event, and it would seem like that might be the case. Now, many Honkai: Star Rail fans expressed their excitement about possibly being able to command servants in battle, especially if there would be multiple Remembrance characters.
Meanwhile, a number of fans also pointed out that the servant mechanic could be a reference to Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming Fate/Stay Night crossover in 2025. The Fate series features Master/Servant duos, where mages are paired with powerful heroes, so it's possible that the crossover's content could follow Honkai: Star Rail's gameplay system for Version 3.0 onwards.
The highly-anticipated Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0 will signal a new chapter in the game's story, as the Trailblazer travels to the next planet, Amphoreus, which is said to be Greek-inspired. Other leaks have also teased possible characters that might show up in this story arc, such as Herta's real form and Aglaea, and new gameplay. If Penacony's unique design is enough to go by, then HoYoverse might be planning something big for the next planet.
